I have told no one of our past, not even when you had first arrived. [ Somnus being tight-lipped on his own world, prophecy, and past had been deliberate-- it is simply not anyone else's business, and it had no place in working to save Avalon's time-wrecked world. He had all the opportunity to do so, yet he had been cautious, and two years without anyone knowing more proves it. ]
It is yours to tell, in your own words, to any. [ This is something he had denied Ardyn for two thousand years.
It's not as if Somnus is without sin. He's fairly certain if Ardyn went around telling others what he had done, the island's population would retaliate against him, instead. In fact when had first arrived upon the island, Regis had rejected him outright.
Somnus had been certain his brother was consumed by the Scourge. He had thought himself right when his brother returned to wreck their land, to corrupt others with it, gods and humans alike-- further justification, further proof that he was dangerous, that he ought to be locked away, lest he cause more chaos, which he did, causing the world to be veiled by an endless, bleak, and cold night, and he had effectively won.
But it was Somnus that caused his pain from the beginning, his tragedy, and Ardyn could have told that to any and had been righteous for it. But he hadn't, either. ]
Unless your happiness involves the harm or threat of others, I will not intrude.
