#but after orin stabs him and june loses memories he starts to...heal
Text
I'm thinking about Isobel who came back from the dead a hundred years later, who came back to the lands cursed and her father fallen into madness.
Who eminates a barely indistinguishable whiff of rot and Myrkul's power. Who was touched by the forces so repulsing she wishes she has never come back.
And who still has Moonmaiden's favor and her blessing.
Like by all means Selûne had every right to punish Isobel for her father's sins, esp considering what Isobel is, undeniably, the cause of Ketheric turning into the villain he became. Or rather, her death is.
Instead Selûne grants her enough power to battle the curse and create a small safe harbor amidst darkness. More power than the most have, as priest of Selune!Tav might comment.
Instead Selûne favors her, loves her.
Isobel is the indirect reason Aylin is enslaved and the lands are dying under the curse, and Selûne never turns her back on her.
Idk it just makes me emotional
#this thing makes me believe Selûne would give Durge a chance#like by all means she reaches out to june mostly out of desperation#but after orin stabs him and june loses memories he starts to...heal#in a way what his upbringing and growing up in a temple of bhaal would never allow#without his memories and internalized stuff daddy dearest taught him he starts to show kindness#he wants to be good to be better#he wants to help#bc gods know no one helped him. they groomed him into a prodigal murderer#used his impressionable child's mind to mold him into what they wanted him to be#but it fell apart thanks to orin#and he can do differently now#and selûne who intended to use him to clean shadowlands and freeing aylin#who fell into a folly of seeing him as a tool#suddenly realizes what he is a child. lost in the woods with nothing but darkness around#and she says 'i will guide you. i will bring you home. you will see the light'#anyway that's how june ends up being her special little boy#her chosen#and while she can do nothing when bhaal kills june#bc bhaal has the power over june she can't cancel out#the moment jergal brings him back she is reaches out#'fatherless yes. but not godless. not motherless. for in this rebirth of yours i claim you as my champion and my child. if you'll have it'#dark urge: june#bg3 spoilers
