[QUOTE="Binder Fred, post: 6097527, member: 63746"] Ur shrugs, not really seeing the difference between dropping one's weapons and agreeing never to use them... [COLOR="#008000"]"Doesn't the agreement stop him from teaching what he knows to others?"[/COLOR] There would seem little point otherwise... [COLOR="#008000"]"Hearsay,"[/COLOR] calmly counters Ur, somewhat in awe of the desert man's talent for seeing shadows behind every light. [COLOR="#008000"]"There will be a thousand to stop them if not... Or help them do it the right way, if it's the right thing to do." [/COLOR]Trying to recapture the past is rarely a worthwhile pursuit, in his experience, but there's also very little that can't be solved by hard work and dedication, also in his experience. Besides, [COLOR="#008000"]"If those who want to revive the Stars find your hiding place, what will we do except die?"[/COLOR] [COLOR="#008000"]"Why did he feel the Power needed to be preserved?"[/COLOR] he asks Wade, echoing Ying's earlier question. The Gods wanted the Power locked up, that much is obvious. Likely they asked for the Book to be destroyed, and either it couldn't be done, OR the Old Man negotiated hard and got the Hiding out of them. Ying is right though: why go to the trouble if it's all still in his head? Either he and/or the Gods knew there was going to be a need for the Power in the future (and he wasn't sure he'd live past the Surrendering), OR both sides were angling for just the situation they're in right now: a way to bypass the Surrendering, another chance to get back on top...
