To the people of Keoland, of Furyondy, of Celene, of the Woods? Do you expect to stand against it, where I could not? And who are these Adults, these Mature, these Strong in this world? As you say, certainly not the leader of the Shade. And I doubt you think those of the Oerthian Alliance are but more than pups. So who does that leave? You? Acererak? Am I to leave Oerth in your "capable" hands? Is this what you ask? When the Great Darkness devours the other Children of this planet, will you fight it? Or will you feed it? You may go, Lord Vecna. I must consult with my advisors. We must consider all you have said. ---------------------EDENA -- I teleport back to the Border Guard, and then, to the Angels. --Okay, boys. When Vecna himself comes to see me, and asks me diplomatically to leave, and warns me of the Darkness coming, I know that I'm in trouble. I need to know what you know. The lives of millions of my troops, and tens and hundreds of millions of innocents on Oerth, hangs in the balance. I need to know. What stirs? What comes? Does it bear a particular animosity towards *me*, or all of Oerth? If I were to leave Oerth, would it leave Oerth as well, and leave those that remained untouched -- or would it begin to devour THEM? And you know Vecna far better than I do. I was made to understand he would love nothing more than the utter destruction of Oerth -- and of Toril. Is this little heartfelt speech on his part nothing more than a ploy? It seemed to be more -- but I can be fooled. Am I endangering Oerth by being there? Would I endanger it more by leaving? Do you have any of the answers for which I seek?I especially desire to know -- no, I MUST know -- whether this Great Darkness seeks me, and me alone, or whether it seeks to devour all of Oerth.</blockquote>
