A thought for this past Feast

Siegfried,

I will never say that Maja did not extend to us a great kindness in helping to save us, nor say that Klarington did not flee. As I could not ask Klarington directly why he left, nor did I have the chance to ask Maja why he stayed, I cannot give a positive answer in either, and instead would be speculating and assuming based on various tidbits, and that would not do justice to either.

I personally do not feel that either's actions alter that events that preceded them. In the end, the information I provided was meant to illuminate the nature of why we, as a town, pursued the avenues towards accomplishing our goal that we did. In regards to that information, I am more than happy to provide additional answers as requested.

I must add that while their temporal-traversing abilities seem quite similar at a glance, to compare them would be akin to comparing a sword and a warhammer - the two can both be used to achieve the same ends, but one is decidedly... smashier.

And then there's the fact that Maja kind of wants Klarington's head for being so smashy. Maja stayed behind to fix the temporal rift that Klarington was oh-so-kind enough to leave as a distraction, probably because great big gaping holes in time are nothing to sneeze at.

***Not Caelvan***
If nothing was fated then where do the gods of fate come into play? Also if the gods interfered with anything us mortals do then there would not be much of a difference between mortal and god.

As a side note, yes the gods are powerful enough to stop us from messing with fate. However, if the gods interfered to stop us, then it was fated for the gods to come and stop us.

If I may answer your question Siegfried.

I spoke with Time Verrill after the fact and he said that he believes it was Klaringtons plan to create that tear if him and Maja kept playing portal plugs. And when the tear opened Klarington took that as his chance to escape Maja, knowing that Time Verrill would stay behind to fix it. That is just what Time Verrill told me about his analasys of the situation.

Consider the following,

Was this the action of one powerful manipulator of time or was it the combined results of two impossibly powerful beings using our world as a battleground without paying attention to the consequences of their actions.

Beware of your biases, they cloud the truth of what is actually going on.

Also, consider the following,

BALFURIOUS NEEDS TO BE STOPPED.

If anyone believes otherwise, please, I beseech and implore you to make your voice heard!
