Snippet #2378829

Kelovius stammered "But.....but....you can't expect us to fight the Echanii by ourselves! He or she will kill us, or turn us into his or her slave, and then he or she will do the same for the rest of Daughtris! We can't stop him or her without the combined power of the Gods! The world will burn because of your.........your ignorance."

Thaqotul seemed to detach himself from the shadows behind Guy. "Hikari, is......is this what Palovala would have wanted?" He implored in a soft, caring voice, like a father to a daughter who has grazed her knee. "Your lover......he died for you so that you could defeat the Echanii, didn't he? He constructed a prism that could pierce through the Echanii's power. I know this because I foresaw it. I foresaw lots of things. The coming of Venash. Palovala's death. Bahamuts imprisonment. All of these came true. Now, you are right in saying that the end of the world by the Echanii's hand will not definately happen, however, what I am trying to say to you is that it will only definately happen if you do not act on it. The Echanii IS returning, that much is true.....I have felt it. However, that is not to say that he or she will win. To stop him or her, we need the prism again. We need the combined power of all the gods if we are to even have a chance. So, ask yourself again, as you deny these two creatures the chance of an alliance because of your prejudices against one of them, is this what Palovala would have wanted? Because if you do not act, Palovala's death, and the death of everyone who died in your name during the war with the original Echanii, will surely be in vain."
