Alvios was resolute in his stance on the matter. [color=mediumorchid]"Balance is a belief, an ideal. It's not something that inherently exists, it is something that we strive to achieve. There is no way to eliminate chaos, but happiness and peace are won by the belief that it can be repelled. That good people will have freedom and certainty, while those who would harm others selfishly will be punished. "[i]I[/i] am balance. I harm others selfishly, to bring that peace and freedom to as many as possible. That is the purpose I make for myself."[/color] Alvios kept his eyes trained on her. He didn't think she would understand his words, but they were words worth saying, if even a fragment of their meaning reached her, made her focus, maybe he would be able to make use of that. He knew that Shaidra's prominent role in the Order seemed to be transportation of the other members; he might be able to make it back to the tower through her. Wait... [color=mediumorchid]"...Why are you here, Shaidra?"[/color]
