    Hoshi laughed a humorless laugh..."Do I want him?" She spat..."I wanted him in life more than I wanted anything else...but so many choices were not my own..."  The venom in her voice dripped and were there any with warm blood in the room it would have frozen..."I drove him no where...least of all out...we all make our choices and those choices all have consequences...sometimes those consequences are tolerable and sometimes they are not..."
   
 Hoshi sneered at the voice that tried to influence her to do as it wished..."Do I want him?"
   
 She raged at the voice that had been Einar's..."There is no where safe for me this I know Einar...this I have always known...for you were not the only one they trained to be a destroyer...Your father, my father...all those who wished an Empire be brought to its knees...you do not think they left that in the hands of one man and one man alone do you?"
   
 She whirled again on the voices that competed for her...that wished to play those tricks on her and make her feel she had done something wrong..."I have caused nothing to go awry...that was not already corrupted...do not seek to put blame where there is none to be had."
   
 She touched Einar's face...and stood...and said to the gods..."Einar is your vessel...use him as you will...bring him to the heavens and let him rest in peace...send him to hell and continue his suffering...or find another path for him...but do not seek to make his path my choice...for I will  not choose for him."
   
 With that she moved to leave the dungeon.
   
  The voice softened, became more feminine. "Einar is my vassal?  Interesting."  The voice said.  "It seems to me, that Einar didn't see it that way.  He was quite angry at being other peoples toy... especially ours."  The monk, now a spitting image of Hoshi said softly.  "You have always made your own way and you made the priorities.  Einar never felt he was one.  If things have gone awry it is because that is the direct you set them in.  Einar came to grips he was the master of his own path... why haven't we?  Why can can't we make peace with Einar and with ourselves?  You hold all the cards and were never the puppet and always the puppeteer.  Why do you pretend to be anything less than what you are?"
