Daisy breathes a tight, humourless laugh laced through with the fear that is, and has always been, a part of her. "Yeah. Fucking terrifying."
You don't say no to a god. They don't take kindly to it. The Fears don't care about their Avatars, they never have; they're nothing but tools, extensions of their will on Earth. Feed them, and you'll know power unlike anything you've ever had before. Resist, and you'll know weaknesses unlike anything you've ever felt before.
But her time in the Buried let her make a new choice. For all that those long months fill her dreams with grime and dirt and the feeling of the life being choked out of you, there is life in her now that there never was before.
It wasn't easy. It will never be easy. There will always be a fight to hold onto the version of yourself that you are trying to become. It may be the hardest fight you'll ever face. It is also the most important, the most worthwhile, fight that you'll ever struggle through in your life.
"I don't think there's a single moment of my life. Where I haven't been scared out of my mind." A reality she rarely admits. Let alone in so many words. "When I accepted that I— had to die, back home, it was the most at peace I'd ever felt. But now— it's different. You have to keep going."
