A smile appeared on Dark Bella's lips. "You speak as though we're two different people."
"To the best of my knowledge…" He shrugged lightly. "It certainly feels that way."
"Well," Dark Bella said with a smile, "I hate to tell you this, husband, but you're wrong.The woman you call your wife is me. We are one and the same."
Then she raised three fingers. "You see, there are three kinds of deities. Lower gods, Higher gods, and Elder Gods. The first two are runts, but Elder Gods, however, are fundamentally different."
"Each Elder God is the embodiment of a concept that exists within creation. We do not merely govern those concepts, we are those concepts."
"I am not simply the goddess of the Endless Dark… I am the Endless Dark."
"So long as the concept itself continues to exist, an Elder God can never truly perish."
