Years Ago
"I'm sorry... I'm what?" I asked the man wearing the burgundy three-piece suit. He had eyes that when he looked at you, you knew immediately all he hid behind those eyes was turmoil. Pain-- yet somehow it did not bother him. It drove him. It made him who he was.
"You Are Part Of The Whole, Love." He said to me; his expression non-changing.
"*Love*? I don't do pet names, fucker. What do you know of *love* anyway?" I asked angrily.
"I Know Love Is An Emotion. One That Humans Hold On To Too Closely-- To Somehow Find True Happiness In Their Heart. To Achieve Self-Actualization. That Somehow, Humans Feel That Once You Profess Your *Love* To Someone, That They Will Stay With You Together Forever. A Real Nice Comic Book Cliche."
"Co-comic book? Can you show me?" I was intrigued, I'm not gonna fucking lie.
"Do You Have A Favorite One? Allow Me To Show You. Hm. Look At You--No, This Will Not Do At All. You Need A Persona. I Can Feel The Others Are Going To Hate You When They Meet You." He was so fucking serious. His facial expressions unchanging--I'm not gonna lie---um, again, he scared the piss outta me.
"Do you have a name at least? What do I fucking call you?" His eyes were fucking hypnotizing.
"My Name... Ha Ha. My Name Is Truth, Darling. Pleased To Meet You. Welcome To The Aether."
"What kind of fucking dumb-ass name is Truth??? Christ."

Years Later.
"HURR HURR, CASSANDRA, YOU NEED TO TAKE A BREAK SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW... OR YOU WILL PASS OUT."
My partner, Vlad, man, what a stubborn man-- But, he was right.
"Okay, Vlad, let's just find a rest stop and I'll catch some shuteye."
************ In The Aether *************
"The *Vlad* persona-- Hm. Nice touch."
"I Had To Choose Something, Brother. Something To Keep Her In Line."
"I know, Truth. I know. Just make sure she never remembers."
"I Do Not Make Mistakes. Cassandra Will Remain As Cassandra Hack. As Long As I Need Her To Be."
"Tu ferais mieux d'avoir raison. Ou la fin viendra pour nous tous."
********************************************Years Later***************************************************
"Do You Recall Your Name?" The burgundy god asked, seriously.
"The fuck you mean?"
"Your Name."
"Remind me."
"Does Not Matter. Let Me Show You Something. Or Rather---Someone. Someone You Can Use."
"Use? For what?"
"To Cut Yourself Into Three. Three Pieces Full, Full Pieces See. Three From Hell, Make You Free."
"Huh?"
"Take My Hand. Do You Trust Me?"
*Hesitantly I did, I'm not gonna lie...he was very persistent.*
"Show me-- can you show me?"
"I'll Do You One Better. I'll Teach You How To Ascend. How To Become A God. Like Me."
