Maggie flinches back, startled by both the identity and the harshness of the woman before her. "Arianis? You - I did not - " She stops and tries to gather her thoughts into an answer. Hard though Arianis' question was, Maggie surely owed her answers. "Justice, perhaps. You have done horrific things to so many people. Even now your first thought is for yourself, not them." The priestess tries to keep her voice soothing, explanatory rather than accusing. "As for mercy - your own choices led to your fate, you know. You clung to your ways to the end - " She interrupts herself, shaking her head. "No. No, there you have me, indeed. Your actions may have led to your fate, but so did mine, and so did many people's, and I did nothing to save you, thinking only of my friends and of the innocents around us. Grace, it is said, is getting what we do not deserve and have not earned, and I denied you that. I am sorry, Arianis. I know that may not mean much to you now but it is true, all the same. You say there is nothing I can do for you, but that - that is not true, I hope." Maggie kneels down to be face-to-face with Arianis and holds out her hands. "Will you not turn back from your darkness, even now? Will you accept my blessing - the blessing of a priestess of the Maker - and my prayers, that you may find peace?"
