Time for more big revelations, or just connecting a few more of the dots. Imagine standing at the entrance to a maze. When you enter and chose to go down a particular path, all the other paths at the junction disappear. The next time that you get to a junction and make a decision the same thing happens. When you look in front of you there are many paths, but behind you there is only one.Now imagine that you are able to lift yourself above the maze and can see the outcome of the various paths that are available. As you move above the maze plotting the path that you want to follow, you find yourself transported to a distant point that you want to reach. However, you're not there 100%. A part of you is still in the earlier stage of the maze.This means that the two halves of you have to try to find a way to meet up again otherwise you will never been complete again. The part of you closer to the entrance still continues as normal chosing paths and watching the other options fall away. But the part of you that is further on sees all the paths that are available. It has to try to navigate backwards to try to make sure that it meets up with the other half. One mistake and the two parts of you will never come together again.Crowson is the part that is stuck in the future, trying to meet up with the remainder of himself. He is looking backwards in time, whilst the rest of us are looking forwards in time. Actually most of us are looking in to the present but those who are seers or linked to prophecy may be able to divine the best paths to follow.Through the Convergence and subsequent Divergence Malkir is able to follow multiple paths for awhile. If those parts are able to complete their quests and meet up again later on then he will have advanced greatly and may be able to Ascend. But if one part falters then they may all fall.Now try to imagine what might happen if a deity tries to Diverge in order to later Converge. They would be greatly reduced in power for awhile (just as they would be if they created too many Avatars), but could be stronger afterwards. Or perhaps that deity might have a different reason for Diverging...  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /></blockquote>
