[centre][u]Vestec, God of Chaos Might: 9 Freepoint: 3[/u][/centre] The Avatar laughed at Invidia, giggling with amusement. "You misunderstand my purpose, Invidia. I don't dislike Order. I recognize it as a necessity. Too much chaos and it's just as boring as too much Order. There has to be high points of both, [i]neh?[/i] Hence the Golden Age before this time of war. Why do you think I don't try to sow discord between Vowzra and your creator, or pay that much attention to Undasis' realm of the sea? There always must be something to oppose me, and Undasis keeps a nice balance in their realm. But of course, your creator has left, hasn't he? And the Time God has taken after Svieland and turned a cold shoulder to the world. A pity. I may have to reign in a few things I've set in motion. As for betrayal...you truly know nothing if you think that will happen. Do not assume everyone has your terror, your fear, and your doubt. Least of all Gods. Vestec's avatar sighed, shaking its head at the Outsider. "It's pitiful that the God of Chaos has more trust than the one claiming to protect humanity. Tell me, how would your followers react if they knew you only view them as betrayals waiting to happen? That you have [i]lied[/i] to them, that you [i]fear[/i] them. Rather than trying to teach your followers what your predecessors followers did not have, you encourage it. If you so fear humanity, why protect them? After all, you clearly believe they are only going to betray and hurt you again. You are so defiant of the Gods, but so scared of the mortals. I find it curious." Vestec's avatar shrugged, casting aside the subject for a moment and walking towards Invidia, idly toying with the hero's axe. "As for Outsiders reproducing more effectively, it only makes sense. Predators exist to make sure the prey does not grow too comfortable, nor too numerous. The Anju are nothing more than predators to your kind. For every one you kill, two recognize the attacks and kill your communion. You can't adapt naturally to see through magic, after all. But this argument gets us nowhere. You will say your communion is destroying the Anju, I will point out that they're not, and we will go no where." The eyes suddenly turned pure black and the mask smiled, staring at the Outsider. "What I'm more interested in is seeing how your precious followers react to knowing you don't trust them with the simplest of things. When your nature is revealed to them, I wonder what will happen. I say they will be surprised, hurt even, but not murderous and hateful. You claim differently. Let us make a bet, you and I. If I'm right, and they do not hate you and can be trusted, you swear servitude for...twenty years. If I'm wrong, I will bless the Communion with the ability to see through the Anju shadow magics for twenty years. A fair deal, [i]neh?[/i]" [b]Meanwhile, in the argument over Lizzy...[/b] Vestec turned to look at the Forge God. "Business? Is this about the Twins? I only corrupted them. They willingly went to serve Garakai. Nonetheless I'll hear you out." He replied cheerfully, returning his gaze to Sauranath as the lizard spoke. He let Astarte adequately explain the situation, his chaotic colors slowing down and red showing up more often. "Astarte summed up the situation nicely, though, I must say, you have brave words for a lizard that was scared off by me, Escre, and Vowzra not to long ago."
