It is not Her place to seek You. You knew of Her feelings, and still You
waited, making no attempt to act or abate. You expect the scorned to
speak before lashing out? Do you believe 'Nightmare' to be a joke? Does
such a word bring forward an image of dipomacy and grace to Your mind?

You speak of true threats, but You have never made any action to show
Her - or us, her followers, that You are no longer one. You have taken
from Her - so much more than simply in years past. What recompense has
been given? What effort have you made to amend the past?

You speak of change, but what change has been made? I still see You
expecting, as You once did, unwarranted adoration of mortals. I see You
shirking from Truth, as You once did. I see You only acting against
those You can defeat. You ask to talk, and then You lash out when You do
not like what you hear.

What has changed?

Allow me to lay this in simple terms, Lady Muse, as thrice now you have
been told, and thrice you have not understood: No. THESE are the terms.
You had hundreds of years to talk.
