[color=c4df9b]"I figured it wouldn't be easy. I'm guessing the one wearing the ring is Dorothea herself? I'm sure you've probably tried all the easy plans to disable that thing already. But there's gotta be some way, right? Unless we just take everyone of Dhemlan blood with us through the portal, or figure out some Crafty way to make it so she doesn't know, we can't make progress without people dying."[/color] Dareen rubbed her chin. [color=c4df9b]"So, I dunno. Seems we're in a tough spot." [/color] Dareen had enough blood on her hands already. She didn't want to help condemn an entire people to death. But the moral reason wasn't enough. Some part of her wanted to rationalize it. [i]Why not?[/i] Why not leave them all to die? Well, Saetan doesn't want it, she thought. So coming up with a plan will make him loyal to us. Plus, the Dhemlan people are loyal to him. If they're alive, they can be organized in the revolution. Genocide is also bad the economy. There. She breathed a sigh of relief. And also, ontop of all that, it's the right thing to do. Dareen tipped her head towards Denvar. [color=c4df9b]"Sure."[/color] Dareen's posture relaxed. Hopefully Faeril or someone could come up with something. Dareen didn't get up from her seat, content to just sit down and think for a little bit. After a moment she extended a hand and summoned her sketch book, opened to a fresh page and thought about what to draw. She decided to draw the mouth of the cave Saetan had taken shelter in.
