oh, really, buddy. okay. fine. here you go. you be the mod. ]
I present to you a dilemma.
A dark god whose most cherished dream is of conflict and destruction without end, chooses to vent that rage out upon a gentle goddess.
He steals away from many worlds the most wicked, most violent, most cruel, to serve as his compliment. Sets them upon her. Her only choice is beggar the aid of some brave, kind souls, across the cosmos, in return.
The lives of their soldiers depend upon the both of them. But when the goddess falls, the dark god resets the board to nil, the death to life, and demands they go again.

feels something. minuet, you're going to have help him Name That Emotion here, because angel devil is very stupid about feelings. it feels painful and it feels sad and it feels like sand is going through his fingers and that he wishes he'd felt it so, so sooner and that, if he was so lucky, he'd never forget it again. ]
[ becomes an orb. he does indeed squirm. how is he NOT going to squirm being under the full force ^/_^ ]
...It could still go wrong. I.. do not know as much about how this works as you shepherds do, so my, personal, concern, is this! If there IS any way to know what the ultimate outcome shall look like, after the granting of one of these wishes! If not-- a wish such as that is merely a gamble, not an assurance!

You've spoke with him-- and he retained a familiarity with-- Did he happen to now recall his NAME? No, hold on, that's a distraction-- but-- if he did-- but if he DIDN'T--

My own body is unaffected by the ravages of time, and shall live forever lest it is killed by other sources than senescence.
[ but there's a sense of separation between that 'body' and that 'self.' ]

. . . I'm sure we could do something about it.
Re: 2/2
Could you, now. I should dearly like to see the day!
[ don't want to die don't want to die don't want to die but so so tired so tired so tired, should i really fight so hard to avoid it after all?

. . . Your shepherd told you about the wishes, right?
Re: 2/2
Yes.
And I require mine for a different purpose.
Re: 2/2
More important than your life?
Re: 2/2
...The life of one single, wanton, murderous madman...
Versus the lives of a score of innocents, dragged into an endless war that was never theirs?

Re: 2/2
My wish to save those people means others will die, you know~. Their foes.
I'm still fitting the bill.
[ this one is 100% truth. ]
Re: 2/2
Sounds like that could easily be avoided with a little wish wording tweaking.

Yes. I do.
