Binder Fred
3 rings to bind them all!
Ur considers... "We did not understand the nature of the dragoons before we decided to oppose them. We did not even hear the name 'Iridex' before we invaded his mountain-top retreat," he thoughtfully points out -- nevermind understanding his nature. Another pause for thought... "If we wait until some of us understand the Power to decide what to do with the Power, then aren't we already in the situation Braham fears so much?" The Power in the hands of the few, who will then decide what to do with it while they know precisely what they're giving up, having the temptation of exclusive use right at their fingertips? "I suggest we decide now what we would do if the Power is what we think it will be, Ying, then adjust as needed." As we always have, calmly beams his earnest gaze."And you're claiming that what we've been told makes us understand the Power? It's limits and possibilities? Enough to decide right now what the right course of action is? Maybe Wade told you something he didn't tell the rest of us?"
Hm... "I trust the goodness of the majority of Gods and mortals. Every time I wake. Every time I go to sleep... Isn't that why we do the things we do?" This last of course directed more towards the gathered members of the Legion than to Darrian himself.Darrian blinks and stares at Ur for a moment. "So you want to get the book so you can spread the Power to the many, as in all. The good, the bad, the self interested and the unknown. Should the Power start to be used by anyone to that extent eventually it could end up nothing more then another form of magic won't it. If you spread it wide you are not only ensuring those of ill intent get it to use as they wish but also that those with good intent can use it to protect. It will cause chaos, destruction, order, creation, upheaval and restoration." Darrian breaks into a huge smile. "I like it!" He leans on Ur casually. "You'll have pry it from my invisible, quick fingers as I try to hide it, but that sounds like some very interesting events. D'Raven would approve."
He does take note of the young human's stated intentions though, for future reference.
[sblock=Assuming an eventual slack in the argumenting (?)"Ying is right though: we are *still* missing a lot of pieces." He calmly looks up at the now once more towering, animated statue of cracked alabaster whose been looking down on them with seeming amusement this whole time: "What *was* the text of the Surrendering, Wade? What did each side agree to, and who was there to swear to it?"
A keystone piece in his mental structure, that one, the concepts on each side presently unsupported by anything save the *supposed* presence of this and that indentation in that very block.[/sblock]
