Tower in the Snow; Video

Elizabeth peers into her journal, with what could ALMOST be considered a look of concern on her face as she furrowed her brow slightly. Since she lost most of her power she no longer is certain that she can simply one shot sure kill Erebus were he to appear here and this has caused some concern.

"This celebration that I see being prepared for. The one to bring forth one of the many Messiah figures in the darkest of times. It is not in reality a celebration of ennui designed to wake Nyx from her slumber or to feed Erebus? I have noted on my world much of the food of Erebus comes at this time of year and I remember my first guest had to stop the awakening of Nyx now."

She shakes her head slightly, "If that is so there are other ways. Oblivion is not a good choice and while things seem dark feeding the beasts that would destroy the wall and end the pain is a bad solution. While I do not have the proper materials here to give quests to break the tedium here, I perhaps can assist in thinking of other ways to pass the time than oblivion? I have even seen children roped into this, please, perhaps I could..... Find a game?"

I'm not sure I understand, but... are you saying they're a fool for setting out on the journey in the first place? Because of what will happen to them when they do?

"I'm saying they are a fool because they do not understand why they set out on the journey, not because they set out on it. They have an idea, or a question, but they do not know the full implications and trials needed to answer it. Yet they chase after it like a fool and either get lost on the way or come to understand the world a bit better in the end."

I don't know, I think it'd be worth it if they ended up understanding the world better, even if they made mistakes along the way. That's part of life, after all. Sometimes you can't learn how to do something the right way until you do it the wrong way first.

"And given my lack of understanding of humanity, and eventual mistakes, I do make myself a fool in many ways."

[knightofratatosk]

You too, huh?

"Indeed. I left the safety and purpose of the velvet room to save a soul and I am not entirely certain how to do so. Still, I keep trying."

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way if you're that determined. Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality, after all.

[Wow, it's been a long time since he's last said that to anyone...]

"Such are the teachings of those who align themselves with Strength. Still, I am not one to give up, even if I have not evolved that far yet."

[knightofratatosk]

Strength... yeah, that makes sense. The person who said that to me is one of the strongest people I know. I think you have to be in order to believe in that.

[elevatoravatar]

"I see. Perhaps the ability to hope is a strength of sorts."

[Video]

[knightofratatosk]

I think you're right. Sometimes just hoping takes even more strength than taking action.

"It is hard to do anything with no light, and despair is a form of blackness that blots out most. In my experience hope has been the only light that can make it go away and even a small action like lighting a light in darkness is more than some can muster."

[Emil smiles.]

Something tells me that you're going to do just fine when it comes to saving this person.

She smiles back and nods, "Time will tell. Luckily I have more than I really know what to do with. That being said, thank you for the kind words."

[Video]

[knightofratatosk]

Oh... um, thanks, but it's only natural. Anyone who would try so hard to save someone else is a good person.

"I do not know about that. If one does so for the wrong reasons it is not a good act, and honestly I am not entirely certain my reasons are the best, just from where I stand it seems to be better than doing nothing."

[knightofratatosk]

Still, I don't think you're a bad person at all. Just call it a feeling that I have.
