Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gurdjieff" data-source="post: 157780" data-attributes="member: 2264">Yay!With a swift stroke, Angelika removes the dust from her robe. "You see, my friends, what we have done here can be done on a much larger scale. Remember what happened to our homes? Remember how they looked only a little while ago? Oerth hasn't abandoned us. Oerth has helped us, even though it is in pain. Oerth noticed us. Oerth gave us strenght. Oerth gave it's blood, which made us survive."With small steps she walks up to an altar, covered with bushes, overgrown by green. Flowers bloomish, animals cuddle their young. Humanoids of every kind follow Angelika as she steps up to the altar, and they wait when she turns around to speak to them again."Our ally, Hazen, is in trouble. He is in pain, in pain with himself. There is nothing we can do to help him at this point, nothing. He must do what is good, what is right. And he must do this alone. The only thing we can do, is pray. Pray that he does the thing his hart tells him to. Pray that he doesn't think what he should do, yet sense it. I trust him. Now, let us pray."Angelika starts the prayer, her people following her as she speaks. Angelika knows Hazen is in deeper than she has said, and he might not be able to get back. She shivers as she thinks of what could happen to the powers of good if even Hazen can not resist the force of evil. She shakes her head, reopening her eyes."Now my people, go back to your jobs. We shall soon make our move. It is now my task to speak to the world, and I shall do this soon. But this isn't my first priority. Go now, I will soon inform you on what we will do.As her people move back from the altar, Angelika walks towards her chambers."So, you are sure you're taking this step?" "Yes, I have to. I hope you and your army can help me. My own people will not be able to resist it. I already sense the fear in them, they doubt my words. I need proof. I need to show that my words aren't just words. I will go soon. I cannot order you to follow me, as I will not force anyone into a possible death.""We shall follow you Angelika. We have chosen to follow you before, we shall do it again. I sense your worries for your people, for Oerth. It is true. The Angels shall follow. We will equip ourselves soon. Have you spoken to your people about this?""Not yet. They don't know what my plans are, yet they might have a clue. I mustn't delay to much. They must be moved from this place, as it doesn't seem safe anymore. They will be safe in our hiding worlds. I do believe in Oerth, yet I do not trust everyone on it. Oerth must be cleansed and that is what we shall do. I will only need you and my mages, who indeed know what's going on.""Alright Angelika, you have made your choice. I will inform the rest of my kind. We will be ready to move out when you are.""Good. Now, I must speak to the press. They are waiting in the darkness. I shall enlighten them. May the light shine on you!""I will now answer your questions," Angelika speaks to a man."Good." He takes out something to write on and is ready to make notes. "What do you think of the fighting in the world forum on Toril?""It is a shame. It seems that people are provoked very easy lately. It might have to do with everything that has happned, yet I do not think that is true. I think it is in every person, every creature of any given race, to be tempted to their own personal interests. Lord Forrester was wanted, no, he was needed! He helped, maybe not the way expected, yet he helped. He cannot be blamed for that. What he can be blamed for is vanishing into thin air. Noone knows where he went, as far as I know. We, the people on Oerth, do not blame him for what he has done. Without him, Oerth would have been destroyed by the Red Armada. The damage done to Oerth can be restored. And that will happen, soon.""Ehm, let me see...." The reporter looks through his notes, looking for something Angelika did not yet answer. "Ah, yes, here it is. What do you hope to achieve at the Peace Conference?"Angelika smiles. "Nothing. I will not attend. Peace can be said in words, yet deeds make the peace. Members of the Oerth Alliance will be there, so there is no direct need for me to be there. Goodness can't be forced. It must come from within. Since the Blessing, we no longer fear the Army of Evil. Now, if you will excuse me, I think I've said enough for today. Goodday sir."</blockquote>
