The only one

ㅤ Thanatos looked at the beautiful goddess in the cage, trying to figure out what to do next. He didn't want her dead. Far from it! He wanted to live with her. But her will was so strong that the young dragon's offspring had no power over her. 'Perhaps if my ability to control mind were stronger…' But that wasn't what he wanted. He dreamed of reciprocity. "You understand, right, that you've literally been sent to certain death?" he asked bluntly, wanting to reason with the goddess. To bring her to the right conclusion. "What is this, if not betrayal?" "I made my choice myself," Ciel denied. As the goddess of the present, for her, only the here and now existed; the past and future were irrelevant, so she was true to her word and never regretted anything. After all, every choice already made was consigned to the past. She couldn't foresee the future. And she lived with what she had. Thanatos did not immediately grasp her way of thinking. It took time for him to sense her uniqueness, to become even more imbued with it. Then he simply began sharing his thoughts with Ciel. Reflections on humanity and goddesses… "…And you're the only one I'm willing to take with me to a world cleansed of filth." "But… this 'filth' is the world. Without it, only a shell will remain." For some reason, Thanatas found himself amused, but his laughter was restrained, so as not to offend Ciel. Sometimes she displayed a surprising naivety. "True. Right now, you have no other vision of the world, because you can't imagine a future that doesn't correspond to the present. But believe me, people aren't everything. The world would be no worse off if humanity disappeared. You'll only see it blossom. And when I place a new world at your feet, you'll know no other." 'You will no longer have a reason to reject me.' Thanatos devised the perfect plan and slowly worked toward it. His heart burned with feelings for Ciel and the injustice of the world. He entered the battle with them. He overcame many obstacles. But… How can justice be achieved when it never existed in the first place…? ㅤ
