Do not unleash yet another EVIL

Reading all these comments, I feel I must state my peace.

We should not be relying on Fiona or Miranda. I had thought you all traveled to Fiona's island to seek her guidance and blessing, not to bring her back. I was stunned to find that this had happened.

This is our age. The nulls came this time because of the actions of our era, not Fiona or Miranda. We should be able to deal with them with our power and our dedication as well. Some of us have ideas for options, which we will try and present soon.

As to fiona? If she is truly the force for good we believe her to be, she will return to her slumber if it is the path best for us all. We will not have to force her.

As for the "Simplest route to survival?" Are we so weak and lazy that simplest is the only path we can take? We cannot try something harder and aim for something more than survival? I aim for victory and life. The Simplest solution is only easy, not the best. The simplest path to helping someone survive broken and diseased limbs is to cut the limbs off. yet don't we try and cure them so they can keep those limbs, and go back to life with them?

The Null are not here because of something mortals did. Do not think you are anything more than a speck of dust to them. They are here because the Anastazi have decided to create a new world, and their observation is complete. Either that, or they have finally - after this many ages - managed to chip away enough at the efforts of Fiona and Miranda to free the Null from the monolith, because Fiona and Miranda were locked away and unable to lend their energy to maintain it.

Do not fool yourself into believing that Fiona's slumber is best for this world. Without any comparable power as foreign to the Anastazi as Good and Evil, the Null will consume everything. The Light will not put herself willingly to sleep unless you can trap the Null without her - which, as a mere mortal, with all your powers known to the omniscient Creators, you are incapable of. She will not leave us to our own devices while a clear and present danger to the world remains. Other Astral beings might be able to stand their ground, but their hands are tied, as slaves to the Anastazi. Not that they really care about this world, anyway. The ones that did are long gone.

Besides, Fiona and Miranda are just humans. Beacons of Light and Darkness, sure, and perhaps the origin of such, but they are just as human as you or I. Their power is our power, in its purest and most concentrated form.

Caldor,

People seem to forget that this was a problem since our fight with Balfurious. During that Fight I watched, Orophin and Morwenne try and fix the break in the monolith. When it became obvious that the powers of Black and White Sorcery were not enough, Orophin and Magnus then tried their powers as paladins to fix it to which it was also not enough. It is my firm belief that even if you are to gather all the good in the world and all the evil, it will not amount to the power that Fiona and Miranda contain as all of the power of paladins, their champions, comes from them. They are the power sources and all are small and insignificant compared to them. Paladins only access a drop in the well of their power.

If a proposal comes that is on the scale of their power level I would be willing to listen, however so far from what I have personally witnessed, creating an alternative at that power level will take more time than we have.

Ava -

I thank you for being willing to listen when we are able to make our proposal. I hope it will be able to stand up to what is needed.

So then surely we could do this without them?

Don't mince my words. We are raindrops in the ocean of their power. Collect every Paladin that exists in this world and we would still only equal a fraction of it; but even that small bit is muddied. If you pick sand off a beach grains at a time, perhaps you will come up with a pure result, but in the time we have left, with the tools you would have to use, your shovels would unearth dirt and rocks and shells and crabs that simply waste space in the grand scheme. I simply encourage others to realize that this is their world, and this is just as much their problem as it is ours.
