[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 81847, member: 2020"] Vecna speaks quietly, and sometimes awkwardly: Forrester of Toril, I have the secrets of the Great Magic of the 10th Order. I can send all of your Children back to Toril in a few hours. However, I cannot send your Children back, if they are unwilling to go. Furthermore, your Children must remain on Toril if I send them back. They cannot return here ... and they should not, for this is no place for Children. You are the Adult, and they are your Children. You must speak to them of departure, and they must obey you. The Shade are Children, like most Torilians - and like most Mortals. They do not yet comprehend the world they have entered, our Oerth. They are like ones who play in the shallows of the vast Ocean, wading in deeper and deeper, heedless of the sharks that await them. Allow me to teach them, Forrester of Toril. Allow me to guide them to maturity. I am a stern teacher, but my lessons are true lessons, and my wisdom is the wisdom of millennia. Since they have declared they will conquer our world and convert all to Shade - like a child waves a wooden sword and threatens a man in plate armor carrying a greatsword - they are indeed Children in grave danger. Allow me to guide them, lead them along a better road. The road to true maturity and strength. The road to wisdom and knowledge. The very road that you and yours walk, and will always walk - unless you throw it all away by choosing to stay here. Of the Great Darkness you have awakened, I may not speak, save to say that it is not of my making. I am powerful indeed, but the Great Darkness is stronger than even Vecna, who men fear to whisper the name of. I cannot control it. I cannot turn it from it's path. I cannot turn it's awesomely devastating malevolence away from you. I cannot turn it's incredible hatred and fury from the innocents that follow you. I urge you to go home. Toril is a Children's Paradise. Live in that Paradise, and be content. Do not meddle in the affairs here. Allow the Adults, the Mature, the Strong, to maintain order on this world. We will deal with the Children of the Shade. We in no way require or need the help of the innocent Children of Toril. Adults do not ask for aid from Children, nor should they. (then Vecna whispers) The Angels know, Forrester. You saw the sadness in their faces. They know you should not be here. They know your place is back in your home, warm and cosy and safe. Run, Forrester of Toril. Run. Hide. Shut the door, bolt it, draw the drapes, and light every candle in the house. Do not stay outside in the darkness, for the Evil comes. The Evil comes, to devour all the Children. [/QUOTE]
