Enough
"Silly little child. You ask me to tell you what you are? To tell you what you truly desire? I will tell you first what you are. You are evil."

"I am not."

"You say you are not. How terrifying to not know such a simple thing about onself. I will tell you what you truly desire. You desire everything."

Vincent's face curled in displeasure. The tome, whatever lurked at its core which animated it so, was testing him. He would not turn away. "Explain."

"Such a greedy little boy. You desire all that is encompassed by the World Tree. To see and experience all that the Nine Worlds have to offer. To desire everything is to desire to own everything. You would deny that such tyranny is evil?"

Vincent stood his ground, in spite of how familiar the words felt. In spite of how they stirred the most insidious of his recurring fears. Then he spoke.

"To desire everything... is to desire to protect everything. That is enough for one such as I. I end this conversation. My third and final question will wait." This tome was proving more trouble that it was worth. Oracles such as this were known to have leeway with how they could answer, but to be as obtuse as it had been so far with the final question was unheard of. Reflection was in order, to construct the proper wording for the inquiry.

"That is enough for Vincent, unwilling son of an unwanted father and unwanted son of an unwilling mother? You are surprising, enchanter." The voice faded as the tome swung shut again, the oracle's final jab even after Vincent had 'ended' the conversation still falling within expected leeway.

Vincent was quiet again, as he picked up the book and properly secured it, only releasing the breath he unknowingly held once he felt the soft thud as it touched the back wall of the bookshelf.

"I am Vincent... and that is enough."

Had some corner of the Nine Worlds trembled in fear or sighed in relief at those words, for none can say if any did, it would have done so rightfully.
