[ He swallows his food past a painful lump in his throat. He has had time to wonder that himself, to berate and to regret. Though everything has since been settled and the star is in no immediate danger of being destroyed, Hades sometimes finds his thoughts drifting into 'what-if' scenarios.
What if he had ignored the Warrior of Light and the Scions and reaped the inevitable consequences of their Lightwarden slaughter?
What if he had simply quietly killed the Warrior of Light the moment he saw them leaving Eulmore, or even fleeing to Il Mheg?
What if, what if, what if...
In the end, he cannot change the past. Unlike a certain Exarch, there is no do-over for him. There is nothing left but to accept his choices and their consequences. ]
...Every creature deserves a measure of dignity in their final moments, [ he mutters. ] No matter how monstrous they appear to be.
[ Somehow, it doesn't seem like he's talking about Rhea'li. ]
