[23:16] Formerly_Somebody: Then you must pre-empt him, Jeice.

[23:16] * LordBarrius tilts his head, confused.

[23:16] Formerly_Somebody: This...rings a bell.

[23:17] Formerly_Somebody: Must be my imagination...

[23:17] TheWatcher: My presence does not concern you.

[23:17] * LordBarrius closes his eyes for a moment, then reopens them.

[23:17] Formerly_Somebody: Oh, but it does.

[23:17] Formerly_Somebody: It concerns me greatly.

[23:17] * Lkeas pauses on her way out the door at the arrival of the newcomer

[23:18] Formerly_Somebody: Whom do you presume to watch, then?

[23:18] Lkeas: curious...

[23:18] Damsel: Curious indeed.

[23:18] Jeice: How do you propose I preempt him FS?

[23:19] TheWatcher: All games need rules.

[23:19] * LordBarrius forms a mixed look on his face. "Hope..."

[23:19] Lkeas: quite true, Watcher, quite true...

[23:19] Formerly_Somebody: Find him, Jeice. Before he acts.

[23:19] Formerly_Somebody: Confront him on your terms, before he gains the upper hand...

[23:19] TheWatcher: If the balance is to become twisted by your actions, balance must be forced.

[23:19] * Lkeas frowns

[23:19] Formerly_Somebody: And you presume to be able to do so?

[23:19] Jeice: He will flee or fight. He is unlikely to be saved FS.

[23:20] Lkeas: we were trying to maintain balance...

[23:20] Formerly_Somebody: No, Lkeas.

[23:20] Formerly_Somebody: Indeed we aren't.

[23:20] Damsel: Oh, no...

[23:20] * LordBarrius ponders that for a moment.

[23:20] Formerly_Somebody: We work for unity amongst ourselves...

[23:20] Formerly_Somebody: But for those opposing us?

[23:20] Formerly_Somebody: Jeice, you must try regardless.

[23:20] Jeice: ((*coughkickingscough*))

[23:21] Lkeas: we tried to reason with them, FS...

[23:21] TheWatcher: The world will never be in balance.

[23:21] Formerly_Somebody: Wrong.

[23:21] * LordBarrius shakes his head. "We need to tolerate them all."

[23:21] Formerly_Somebody: It was in balance in the beggining...

[23:21] TheWatcher: But we try, don’t we.

[23:21] Formerly_Somebody: I know not of any "we", Watcher.

[23:22] Formerly_Somebody: As I know not of you.

[23:22] * Damsel studies TheWatcher carefully. "Who are you?"

[23:22] Jeice: ((I need to ask Falerin something...))

[23:22] TheWatcher: I am peace, I am your Hope.

[23:22] Jeice: ((Hm... how to get ahold of him...))

[23:22] Formerly_Somebody: Oh indeed?

[23:22] * LordBarrius nods. "Yes, Hope...."

[23:22] Lkeas: how can there be peace in a world of imbalance?

[23:23] TheWatcher: I am war, and I am your Omega.

[23:23] * Lkeas frowns

[23:23] Lkeas: Omega?

[23:23] TheWatcher: The great trinity, bound by my actions.

[23:23] Lkeas: how can that be...

[23:23] * Damsel 's brow furrows. "And what balance are you trying to enforce?"

[23:23] Formerly_Somebody: So. What have we done to disturb balance?

[23:23] Jeice: Both Hope and Omega?

[23:23] TheWatcher: The fate of all worlds, all being watched by one eye.

[23:24] Formerly_Somebody: If anything, an inforcer of balance should side with us, the underdog.

[23:24] * LordBarrius smiles.

[23:24] TheWatcher: One eye consisted of many Agents.

[23:24] Jeice: Why has The'Galin gone unchecked then?

[23:24] Damsel: You say you are Hope and Omega?

[23:25] Jeice: ((Are you Falerin? I have an important question for him.))

[23:25] Lkeas: but Omega heads the network...

[23:25] TheWatcher: Which side do I belong to? None, for you see this is my game.

[23:25] Damsel: Are you the center of the triquertra?

[23:26] TheWatcher: I am all, and I am nothing.

[23:26] Formerly_Somebody: And you are cryptic. Let's not forget that...

[23:26] Jeice: ((I need an OOC discusion with Falerin...))

[23:26] * Damsel nods slowly.

[23:26] * LordBarrius closes his eyes again, content to listen to TheWatcher's words.

[23:26] Formerly_Somebody: What is your purpose?

[23:27] Formerly_Somebody: What could we POSSIBLY have done to attract notice?

[23:27] Jeice: It is sounding like the being above Lorithia...

[23:27] Formerly_Somebody: It makes no sense.

[23:27] TheWatcher: To make sure all sides play fair.

[23:27] Damsel: Are you the one who prevents creation from creating too much? The devourer from destroying too much?

[23:27] Jeice: Watcher, is The'Galin "playing fair" then?

[23:28] Formerly_Somebody: And how is this war "fair", may I ask?

[23:28] Formerly_Somebody: We are grossly outmatched!

[23:28] Formerly_Somebody: It is anything BUT fair!

[23:28] TheWatcher: You could say I am the one that enforces the rules that many feel they are above.

[23:28] * Lkeas frowns

[23:28] Formerly_Somebody: To which rules do you refer?

[23:29] Formerly_Somebody: What unknown limits do we play within?

[23:29] * LordBarrius chuckles. "Of course. There are always rules....and they need to be enforced."

[23:29] TheWatcher: When the balance becomes corrupt from your foolish actions, I will clean your mess swiftly, be assured of that.

[23:29] Lkeas: am i in trouble again...

[23:29] Formerly_Somebody: OUR actions?

[23:29] Damsel: So this is a warning?

[23:30] Formerly_Somebody: Compared to what The'galin's forces are doing, we have done nothing in this war!

[23:30] Formerly_Somebody: Absolutely nothing!

[23:30] Jeice: ((I'm thinking that this is a IC way of saying that Lkeas has been abusing her power...))

[23:31] * LordBarrius opens his eyes and smiles. "Then I shall try to make sure that we remember the balance in the future, Watcher."

[23:31] TheWatcher: You are all to blame, not one.

[23:31] Formerly_Somebody: ((Nah. Falerin just LOVES screwing with our heads.))

[23:31] Jeice: (( O.o ))

[23:31] * Lkeas nods slowly

[23:31] Formerly_Somebody: And what have any of us done, alone OR together, to attract such attention

[23:31] Formerly_Somebody: ?

[23:31] Lkeas: indeed... we have been divisive, just as Falerin warned us not to be...

[23:31] TheWatcher: The king will awaken, and bring a new reign the world of Lore.

[23:32] * LordBarrius looks over to Lkeas and nods.

[23:32] TheWatcher: And because of this, I must do something, to keep you all in balance.

[23:32] Formerly_Somebody: And that something is?

[23:32] Lkeas: the king... he is the 8th?

[23:32] * Damsel looks at her companions, her face slightly worried.

[23:32] TheWatcher: It is up to you, to stop the threat.

[23:33] TheWatcher: Many Cor-Dem have spoke of the actions, you know what will soon happen.

[23:33] * Damsel quietly mutters, "a new reign... and the reign of fire..."

[23:33] Jeice: ((Can anyone remember anything i did to upset balance? I can't remember anything of that nature, but with my memory, it is very possible that I simply forgot.))

[23:33] Lkeas: what will you do?

[23:34] * LordBarrius looks back at Damsel and lays a hand on her shoulder reassuringly.

[23:34] Formerly_Somebody: So...what happens now?

[23:35] TheWatcher: Rebirth of the great flame is in order.

[23:35] Jeice: ((Unless he was reffering to stuff in AQ with those earlier statements...))

[23:35] Jeice: (( O.o ))

[23:35] TheWatcher: To balance the storm.

[23:35] Jeice: ((I want to say odd coincedence, but Falerin doesn't believe in them.))

[23:36] * Damsel nods, her body trembling slightly. "We shall try to create that balance."

[23:36] Formerly_Somebody: I don't we have to, Damsel...

[23:36] TheWatcher: Fool, you will do nothing but make me have to create balance by killing many.

[23:36] Formerly_Somebody: It has said that balancing is IT's job.

[23:36] Formerly_Somebody: See?

[23:36] Formerly_Somebody: What'd I tell you?

[23:36] * LordBarrius frowns.

[23:36] Lkeas: killing...?

[23:37] * Damsel winces. "But we can prevent further imbalance."

[23:37] TheWatcher: Yes, death is a part of life.

[23:37] Formerly_Somebody: To what end?

[23:37] Lkeas: but killing whom?

[23:38] Formerly_Somebody: How can death restore balance?

[23:38] TheWatcher: If I do not balance the world of Lore, all will become corrupt.

[23:38] * LordBarrius closes his eyes, starting to dislike what he is hearing. "Killing to keep a delicate balance...."

[23:38] * Lkeas turns to FS

[23:38] Lkeas: death is part of balance...

[23:38] Lkeas: birth, life, death

[23:38] Jeice: Fire was weakened because of us. If it comes back into power and we weaken ice with this war, then we keep an imbalance going.

[23:39] Lkeas: weaken ice? but we are collecting fragments of the ice orb... we must maintain balance

[23:39] Formerly_Somebody: No, Lkeas. That is a doctrine of apathy that I will not accept.

[23:39] LordBarrius: Fire was weakened....?

[23:39] Formerly_Somebody: The Great Fire War.

[23:39] Lkeas: then you do not understand the trinity, FS.

[23:39] Formerly_Somebody: Akriloth's death...

[23:39] * Damsel swallows with difficulty. "Is that why you have come here tonight? To cause us to come into balance?"

[23:39] TheWatcher: Ahh yes, but fire has become stronger over the years human.

[23:39] * LordBarrius frowns. "I'm not native to Lore, you know."

[23:39] TheWatcher: It has become much of the same strength as it was once before.

[23:40] Formerly_Somebody: So, what has gone wrong?

[23:40] TheWatcher: It must be stronger.

[23:40] Formerly_Somebody: So, you suggest what? That the mass-slaying of Ice creatures will solve everything?

[23:40] Jeice: So we are now weakening ice, or strengthening it? And whould we stop?

[23:40] Jeice: should*

[23:41] TheWatcher: Or a great imbalance will take the land.

[23:41] TheWatcher: You do not listen to my words?

[23:41] Formerly_Somebody: And what will this imbalance do?

[23:41] Jeice: I'm just trying to clarify.

[23:42] Formerly_Somebody: So, Fire must be made stronger. Does that include the weakening of Ice?

[23:42] * LordBarrius stays quiet, trying to think of what to say. He glances briefly over at Damsel to offer her a smile, and keeps his hand on her shoulder.

[23:42] TheWatcher: See for yourself, the fire war was nothing compared to what Frost will do.

[23:43] Jeice: So ice should be weakened I'm guessing. Should we not reform the orb then?

[23:43] Formerly_Somebody: You suggest that Frostvale is now showing signs of this imbalance?

[23:43] Lkeas: the rain of fire... will that be our chance to strengthen it?

[23:43] Jeice: ((reign*))

[23:43] TheWatcher: The rain of fire will be my doing.

[23:43] LordBarrius: In order to keep the balance....yes, of course.

[23:43] Formerly_Somebody: But then the world will be covered in ice. It is written...

[23:44] Formerly_Somebody: So, why?

[23:44] Jeice: Should the ice orb be reformed or not?

[23:44] TheWatcher: There is nothing you can do Avatar.

[23:44] Formerly_Somebody: If the rain of fire restores balance, why will it be disrupted again?

[23:44] TheWatcher: If the shards form, it is because Hope has formed them.

[23:44] * Lkeas nods

[23:44] Formerly_Somebody: I see.

[23:44] Lkeas: the orbs must all be formed...

[23:45] Lkeas: that is the way to achieve balance once more

[23:45] TheWatcher: The true orbs

[23:45] Lkeas: yes

[23:45] TheWatcher: Some are already formed.

[23:45] Formerly_Somebody: The others?

[23:45] Lkeas: that is true...

[23:45] TheWatcher: But you know this.

[23:45] Lkeas: but we do not know where they are

[23:45] Lkeas: one has been stolen

[23:46] Jeice: I think the Fire Orb may still be intact.

[23:46] TheWatcher: I am sure if you search your feelings you can find them.

[23:46] Lkeas: our feelings?

[23:46] TheWatcher: Once you awaken, that is.

[23:46] * Damsel continues to slightly tremble as she reguards the visitor, though she refuses to turn away. "The ninth orb. What is its alignment?"

[23:46] * Lkeas turns to Damsel. "Do you not know?"

[23:47] Jeice: How do we awaken?

[23:47] Jeice: Or do we simply wait for it?

[23:47] TheWatcher: The Orb of Balance?

[23:47] Lkeas: the orb of creation, does it also go by that name?

[23:47] TheWatcher: None can obtain that relic.

[23:48] * Damsel nods slowly. "That would be the one. An orb or creation would cause imbalance as there is no orb of uncreation."

[23:48] TheWatcher: If you think so.

[23:48] Lkeas: creation is balanced unto itself, though... isn't it?

[23:48] * LordBarrius frowns.

[23:48] Lkeas: uncreation is anathema...

[23:49] Damsel: Perhaps you are correct.

[23:49] Formerly_Somebody: Watcher. How do we awaken?

[23:50] Lkeas: but if the Orb of Balance is also the Orb of Creation, then indeed, none of us would obtain it as it is already obtained.

[23:50] TheWatcher: When the time comes for the Index to do the great task.

[23:50] Jeice: I thought so, but what is this "great task"?

[23:50] TheWatcher: You know.

[23:51] Jeice: ((Are the staff trying to program stackable shards?))

[23:51] Damsel: Yes, I think we might.

[23:51] * Lkeas frowns

[23:51] Lkeas: but we still do not have the key

[23:51] Lkeas: we cannot read what we are expected to write

[23:52] TheWatcher: Once the true world comes into view, I would look for the clues and find the door.

[23:53] TheWatcher: The door to the Outlands.

[23:53] TheWatcher: The only true way to restore any balance, is there.

[23:54] * Lkeas nods

[23:54] Formerly_Somebody: And when will this occur?

[23:54] Lkeas: we will try.

[23:54] TheWatcher: When you can travel to Cor-Demiaz VI.

[23:55] Lkeas: Cor-Demiaz VI, isn't that supposed to BE the Outland?

[23:55] TheWatcher: Indeed it is.

[23:55] Lkeas: ok, just checking.

[23:55] TheWatcher: Many names it has.

[23:55] TheWatcher: One other name, given to the realm by the humans of Lore.

[23:55] Formerly_Somebody: So, the Outlands will come into view when we are capapable of going there?

[23:55] Lkeas: Zeta Reticuli?

[23:56] * Lkeas chuckles. "I believe it was a roundabout way of saying it will happen when it happens."

[23:57] Formerly_Somebody: No, you think?

[23:57] Jeice: I'm wanting to say either the Void or the Moon...

[23:59] Formerly_Somebody: And where does Hope fit into all of this?

[23:59] TheWatcher: I must be going.
