Darkness snaked outward from the Stone. It had waited too long for its purpose to be fulfilled. Many of those who once had linked it it were gone, out of its reach. Only two thread remained. The dominant one had waned recently, and the Stone's power reached out to it, seeking the servant who had gone astray.

It found her deep within her other self and injured gravely.

"Weak." "Poor child, whatever have you done to yourself?" "Pathetic." "No worse than you deserve, traitor child." "Go away." "The heart has taken substantial damage, likely from a psychic wound of an internal source." The voices came all at once, overlapping and strange. Only the first voice was strong, the others scarcely more than echoes.

Song's Shadow cowered and quivered under the cruel onslaught, but mad as she might be, she knew it was not of her own making. She knew the taste of the cornerstone's Darkness.

"If I'm so weak, then help me. Free me. You know I'll give you the worlds."

"This way was more fun," she snapped at the last voice, bearing her teeth in an ugly grin.

"Besides, I think loyalty counts as a trait of the Light-hearted, and Song kept all of those. Perhaps... you ought to bind me to your will." It sounded almost like a genuine offer.

Medrau grimaced sharply at the last two, suddenly furious.

"What do you want of me, then?!" she shouted at the sky of her little mental world. "What, exactly, will convince you to assist me?"
She'd get herself out of this mess if she had to - had been working on it before this intrusion, even - but the Cornerstone would make it all immensely easier and less painful, if she could just coerce it into helping.
Unfortunately she was in a few too many pieces to concentrate on negotiations right now.

She continued to glower upward, projecting enough disdain to twist knots in her own belly.

"Then stop beating around the bush and tell me what to do. Much as I love dragging things out, now isn't the best time," she hissed.

Anger and fear were steadily being replaced by impatience and irritability.

"In case the lot of you haven't noticed, I can't do anything at the moment. Put me back in control, or tell me how to get there myself, and I'll owe you. Nice little debt to make me feel obligated not to betray you and such. Sounds like a sweet deal to me," she grumbled.

Medrau sighed heavily and buried her face in her hands - for all that face and hands both were merely projections of the subconscious in this place.

"Can we just get on with this?" she asked wearily. "I don't have many options here."

"I didn't know she could do that," Medrau argued petulantly. "Now I know... and now I might be able to do the same thing. Or manipulate the Darkness she took from me. I imagine you could make that easier... what might I do to her, with that control?" She smiled at the thought. "It's worth finding out."

"I can't." She sounded grouchy, more than anything else. "I'm too weak right now." Wrinkling her nose at that admission, she rose shakily to her feet.

"So, either you help me, or you wait for me to recover on my own. All bargains and lies aside, I'd prefer the first option if I were you. Waiting is just a bore."

This was becoming ridiculous.
Did the Cornerstone ever make up its mind? (Well, with so many, perhaps not.)

Medrau threw up her hands and considered turning and storming away, but it seemed like too much effort, subconscious projection or not.

"Fine, alright, if you all can't decide, then I will. I am done. You are dismissed. I'd sooner deal with this on my own than risk being driven to new heights of madness by the voices in my head."
