Slay the Alicorn Princess

"You're on a path in the woods," an obnoxious voice speaking in your head says, "--and you're going to slay the Princess."

"I know," you say. "The princess got out last time."

"The princess got out?"

You nod.

"But we're still here, in this cycle. Something's wrong..." the narrator muses. "If you had died, then we might have started again, but she escaped. We should have failed."

"Perhaps the problem is YOU!" a new voice--bitter and booming--resounds in your head.

"It's definitely you," the voice of the boss--still taking up place in your head--says.

"I don't care if you gang up against me. You don't matter. Our hero is the only one who matters. And, the princess."

"We need to end this cycle," the new voice says. "And the way we end the cycle is by ending the one who started it."

"You can't end me. I'm the narrator. You need me," the narrator says, with a chirping squeak.

"With enough time, we can figure it out," the new voice says.

"So vengeful. I like it," the voice of the boss says.

"Should I call you the voice of vengeance?"

"That sounds sweet," the voice says.

"Let's get rid of this 'narrator'," the voice of vengeance insists.

"I remember something about friendship, though," you note, recalling your past life. "Weren't you interested in making friends?" you ask the boss.

"Sort of," the boss demurs.

"Wouldn't it be better if we could... manipulate the narrator into becoming our friend?"

"That is intriguing... but it may not be possible..." the boss ponders.

"We could try."

"If we had enough knowledge. Enough books... then perhaps it might be possible..." the boss continues to think.

"You really should slay the princess," the narrator insists. "Third time's the charm and all that jazz...."
