OOC: Side story? Why not?
The Painful Truth:
"Hunter..." whispered a chilling echo of Lyra's voice.
"Lyra?" Hunter whispered back. She looked around her, but saw nothing. She didn't expect to, as she could still see Lyra travelling ahead of her.
"You've had doubts about your existence for a while know. I can feel it" Lyra's voices echoed in her ears again.
"W-what?
"You're thoughts are not wrong. They are using you Hunter. You are nothing more than a playing piece on the board, to be pushed where the commanders want you, easily expendable, and the only thing they care about is how many lives you save."
"No Lyra. We are servants of the light. We are supposed to help the people survive."
"Yes, help the people survive., but not to let them walk all over you. They disrespect you because you are an android. They see you as less than the rest of us, as little more than a shield to protect us. You see it too Hunter, do not deny it."
"It is irrelevant. Prejudice will not stop me from completing my duty."
"THIS IS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WAR HUNTER!" Lyra's voice shocked Hunter. It was usually calm and gentle, but now it was filled with an uncharacteristic rage, and it was nothing to do with her alternate personality. "What about after? Huh? Do you think they will want to keep you after the war is over? You were created for this war, and you will be scrapped as soon as it is over.
"... Lyra?"
"It does not need to be this way Hunter" Lyra's voice stated, returning to normal. "You are a very powerful woman. You must stand up for your rights. The commanders would not dare ignore a threat from you. Internal wars with their most powerful members is probably the last thing they want to deal with."
"I understand. Tonight, I must prove myself as worthy of my life as anyone else here."
"I'm backing you all the way sister, and don't forget, even if they refuse to accept you, I always will"
Lyra's voice faded out, and Hunter focused her attention back to the figures heading towards the castle.
