[The speaker's voice is laced with a bit of annoyance, but much stronger than that is weariness. The rustling of trees' leaves being blown in the wind can be heard in the background.]

This must be a joke. Nothing but a cruel, extremely unusual joke from a being with a sadistic sense of humor. I am well acquainted with the fun of irony at this ( Read more... )

[Rygdea was just minding his own business messing around with the journal here, until he heard this rather familiar voice. His jaw almost dropped once the message played. While the man didn't state his name, he stated several key terms that confirmed who he was. Unsure if he should even reply, Rygdea does so hesitantly.]

No way...

[He paused briefly before continuing.]

Cid, is that you?

Do you really think I buy that story? C'mon! I'm smarter than that, Raines. Give me some credit.

[There has to be more to story. It just had to be.]

What I tell you is the truth, whether you choose to believe me or not. If I had betrayed you, if I had been using the Cavalry all along to simply gain power to become the Primarch, would I have asked you to kill me?

[Rygdea stiffened a bit once Cid mentioned that request. It was obvious that the memory bothered him, but he did his best not to focus on that now.]

That's exactly why I think there's more to this story than you're willin' to say.

There is little else that concerns you, or will answer your question. Dysley used me as bait. There is no further explanation to it.

[His eyes widened at that reply.

The nerve of this bastard! Not only does he show no remorse for what he's done, he goes as far as to say something like that to him? Did Cid have any idea how many men died during that siege? The entire Cavalry was wiped out, Rygdea included. How can he just stand there and state so calmly that none of this concerns him, and the men he led right towards death's door?

Taking a quick step back, Rygdea didn't hesitate anymore. He ushered his fist forward, right towards Cid's jaw. Rygdea knew he couldn't contain his anger anymore, Cid was just pushing all the wrong buttons.]

The hell it isn't! You sold us out, Cid, and for what? You can't even look me the eye right now!

[Cid grimaced as Rygdea's punch connected with his face. Yes, he could have likely blocked it, but he decided against it. The younger man needed to get out his anger, and if he was going to have to deal with a bruise for that to happen, so be it.]

Are you done with this childish behavior yet? I've answered you already.

Raines, stop bullshitting me! That can't just be all!

What kind of answer are you expecting me to give?!

[He was quickly growing exasperated with this little argument.]

Do you think I am happy to be the cause of the destruction of my own division? To have so many lives lost so needlessly? For me to go down in the minds of people as a traitor when that was never my intention?

[Finally, a slither of emotion showed. The stoic facade Cid typically wore is slowly crumbling down. Maybe somewhere amongst the ruins, Rygdea can find the truth he sought.]

A minute ago, you acted as if you couldn't have cared less about the damn division, and now you're over here throwing a fuckin' tantrum because I want answers.

[Rygdea sighed a she stalked away from Cid.]

I don't want anymore lies or half-truths. If Sanctum set you up like you said, then why? They didn't know about our plans. They couldn't have unless someone squealed.

You accuse me of throwing a tantrum, when you yourself cannot seem to remain calm?

Apparently, Dysley knew all along. No one told him, he simply knew. He is far more powerful than any of us imagined.

[Rygdea arched his brow a little at that last part concerning the Primarch.]

...What do you mean by that?

[He knew he was onto something now.]

Dysley is nothing more than another poor sap who's a slave to the fal'Cie. He hides behind PSICOM, his glorified killers, for the sake maintaining hold over the public.

Take away both the fal'Cie and PSICOM from him, and he's nothing more than a feeble old fart.

There, you are wrong. Dysley himself was a fal'Cie. Ironic, isn't it, in the end? Who would have guessed that our most powerful human representative in Cocoon's government was not even a human himself.

[This, he figures he can at least tell Rygdea.]

[His eyes grew large.]

Whoa, wait! You mean to tell me that Galenth Dysley was a fal'Cie as well?

[action] fatedefier August 28 2010, 04:20:30 UTC
Yes. Barthandelus is his true name.

[action] rygdea August 28 2010, 04:25:38 UTC
[Silence followed once he heard the true name of the Primarch.]

Barthandelus, eh? How could a fal'Cie...

[He felt sick to his stomach now.]
