Neither do I trust Silverwood or the elves. Your theory makes sense to me. Silverwood very well could be an agent of Drakkar, working alone and possibly in secret to attempt to befriend us and gain access to the book. I know too that some of our companions do not believe as strongly in the church as we two, and they do not realize that We are risking our very souls by associating with these pagan fey. But how, at this juncture, do we turn them away?" The cleric breathes a deep sigh, wiping sweat away from his brow. It is clear that he is somewhat drained from the constant fighting that the company has faced recently.With a shake of his head, the knight-priest continues. "And I agree with you concerning De Sion as well. He is a definite threat, and I too believe he intends to claim the book for himself. I believe that his thirst for power is going to bring him into direct conflict with us, and will lead to either his death, or ours. We must be wary of him. We must not allow him to escape with the book, not under any circumstance. We must convince him that we are going along with his plans; by keeping him busy protecting the book against the Drakkar, we keep him too busy to turn his attention on us, and we keep him close enough that we can watch him.""As much as I believe in redemption, I feel that in the end we are going to be forced to destroy the vile artifact. If its power is as great as we are being led to believe, I think it is more likely that it corrupt us than we being able to redeem it. If we cannot find a way to deal with this tome ourselves, we must certainly return it to the holy sanctuary of Illum, and let those wiser and stronger than ourselves deal with this threat. The Light will always prove victorious over the Darkness, but only as long as we remain stalwart and true in our beliefs. This is not a time to question what we have been taught, and what we know in our hearts is true and good. Wavering now will only leave us open to assault and corruption by the Dark forces."Vadric places a hand upon Anniston's shoulder, and peers into his companion's eyes. "Be ready. Be wary. Our faith is our shield, our bond with the Light is our sword. Should the book begin to influence and corrupt the others, we will be all that is left to deal with this menace."[/sblock]</blockquote>
