“Some people just want to see the world burn, even when they have nothing to gain if it does.”
“They could be as high up on the food chain as possible, yet still not be satisfied. They want chaos. They want some form of anarchy in the streets while they sit in the lap of luxury, watching from afar.”
“When the smoke clears? When the bodies litter the streets and any semblance of society has been reduced to ash? The deranged lunatic that started all this mayhem will look for another way to set Arcadia on fire.”
“Why would they do such a thing? Why would a high class person destroy everything, including their standing in the world, and start from nothing once more?”
“How about it, Narcissa? I ask because you’re prone to starting fires in Arcadia all the time.”
“You did so with the original and the Deathrow Uprising. You did so with Jackson Cade. Now you’ve done so with Gemini.”
“I thought about it for the longest time. You’re Arcadia’s queen. Why go through the trouble of stirring up so much shit if doing so would only result in disaster for you?”
“Why start a revolution against Zeus if you never planned on dethroning him in the first place?”
“Why defame Jackson’s authority as sheriff when you could’ve just had him removed from power without all the theatrics?”
“Why tell me the truth about Gemini when you don’t give a shit about me? Why have me do your dirty work?”
“Don’t answer that. I already know why.”
“It’s because you’re a pyromaniac. You’re a sick individual that can’t control herself when something isn’t burning near you. Being an arsonist means you have power. The ability to strike a match and leave destruction in your wake calms your nerves more than being Zeus’s fuck toy ever could.”
“Thank you for telling me about Gemini, but fuck you for trying to slink away from the ensuing damage like you didn’t start anything.”
“You’re still a Firestarter, even if that bitch of a Rogue deserved to be set ablaze. You need to be stopped and taken care of before you burn everything else down in your pursuit of the crown.”
“I’m going to cling to you like the ash from those flames. You can try to brush me away all you want, but I will follow you everywhere you go, acting as damning evidence of your crimes.”
“When the people discover that you’ve been responsible for all their problems and find you guilty, the throne will be vacated and crown will be left without a wearer. You will be burned to the stake as my ashes float off your body towards the throne, claiming the crown as my own.”
“You won’t be able to stop me, either. You started this fire and I’m already beginning to stick to you like glue.”
“I’ll be one step closer to becoming king and getting revenge on Gemini. Meanwhile, your soul will be left to suffer in the eternal darkness your ashes helped create.”
