Before the song could fully wind down, the light side of Mal flared. Her hand spasmed and the mic fell, but the hand on her light side caught it.

"We both know evil is the easier path..." a slightly softer version of her own voice said. "But can we make the harder choice?" And without waiting for a reply she started singing. The song was different, but she sung it differently. Where the last was a celebration of freedom, this was all but shouted musically from the heart. A challenge released into the dreamscape as magical glittering water surrounded the stage, a bright blue sky opening over them, the scent of strawberries in the air. Was she challenging herself or Morgana? Or both? Hard to tell. But she gave what had once been a song of her lost younger self the power it had lacked before. She gave the song more of a rock edge so that in the end... it was almost twin to the last song. And yet it ended on.. a pause. Not an actual end, but what felt more like a held breath, like something being weighted and measured.

Mal was once again caught almost evenly between her two halves, and two very different eyes watched Morgana, as though she might hold a much needed answer.
