Knowing how Dorian only can love in his own way to all that high thing that can lead him to the immediate delight of something highly joyful, dark and forbidden, i can conclude how much he loved Lily in this way. He and Lily were soulmates in the immortality, like brother and sisters, lovers, all at once. Their relationship does not have definition, that´s what i love the most of them.
_..sometimes, to Ascend ..one must take a page from their enemy ..to Become_ *without Mercy.* _(this is how Nicola met her demise.. she taught us the Value of Ruthlessness, in the face of Adversity. but she kept it a secret.. she was Greedy.. she wanted to corrupt us with the Sin of 'Mercy'.. to save her Wicked Cruelty..)_ *Guatrau: ..we must not allow the Cabal of Hags ..dominate us with 'merciful weaknesses'. ..Mercy is a gift, to one's mortal enemies ..it's one thing to be generous, or charitable, or kind ..but another thing entirely, to be Suicidal. Mercy is slow motion Suicide. when your enemy has none, to reduce the Hag cult to Ruins.. we must Become as Merciless, as them.* ✓
