[QUOTE="Rathan, post: 5201548, member: 1322"] Dorens eyes watch Teach as he speaks his form shifting a bit in the seat below him causing yet another dull creek and wain.. [color=maroon]"Can't play a game of chess without the pieces now can you..."[/color] Doren said as he glued the pieces of Teaches rantings together to make sense. [color=maroon]"What I don't seem to get is why are they playing this game in the first place? What is the ends to the means here... that is the part I'm not getting. They're ascended beings more powerful than anyone or anything on this planet yet ... I can't see him having nothing better to do than toy with us."[/color] Doren said plainly... [color=maroon]"It makes no sense to me... as I said you're an intelligent man Teach.. tell me why he would toy with us like this... what purpose does it serve?.. And don't give me that 'because we are lesser beings and they just can because of this fact' bullcrap... tell me why you *really* think he.. or even they are playing this game with we mortal beings."[/color] Doren then thinks back clearly.... to his dream last night and recites the poem he heard in his head to Teach wondering if he also has this dream he had.... [color=teal][i]"If it is knowledge that you seek, Then it is I, with whom you speak. From Ayur's lips, you hear the truth, But how useful is the truth, sans proof? The Four are mighty, brave, and wise, And in this solemn world, we thrive. Four are we and Five are you. Will you survive Munsu's painful ruse? I think you may, and Adele says yes. Blackmoor waits to place his bet. Munsu laughs, his dagger falls - At random, landing on five more thralls."[/i][/color][i][/i] [color=maroon]"Sound familiar Teach?"[/color] Doren asked softly... bluntly.. [color=maroon]"do you think Ayur's words mean we five Knights as the five thralls mentioned... or perhaps there are five *more* in the world that will suffer the same fate as me?"[/color] Doren says softly then looks thoughtful a moment before speaking again. [color=maroon]"If you ask me I feel this is a test.. and come the end of it.. I and my companions will be the next ascended. Tis my personal and I guess silly guess to some degree, however, I'd like to think I wouldn't play these games on mortals... however when one is a god.. one does as he pleases."[/color] Doren adds before falling silent and lets Teach speak...
