An Errant Road Untraveled: Dark Sun

Summary:

[5.3: Shadowbringers Spoilers]
(Non-canon)

What if Emet-Selch recognized the soul within the Warrior sooner, prior to their final confrontation?

What if Hades found he could not allow this opportunity to bring back someone he'd missed for so very long to pass him by, no matter what methods or magicks he must needs employ?

And what if, under such circumstances, the Blessing of Light proved insufficient to stave off tempering?

A vision of what might have been, down an errant road of fate untraveled.

Notes:

Emet is having a whole bunch of complicated emotions, because it's her, but not quite, and she's here, but is she really, and she's just like he remembers her, but he made that crystal from his own memories of her so is this how she always was or is this how he wants her to be, and she's finally on his side, but would she be if she wasn't tempered like him, and also she's a catboy now and he just knows she's going to be insufferable about it—

(And Eris is just happy to be here, for whatever given value of 'being here' applies)
