[center][h1]Excelsis, the Lord-Eminence[/h1][/center]

An invisble, metaphorical eyebrow was raised at the magic-god. [b]"Do you... know what you are?"[/b] Excelsis asked with genuine concern. [b]"I never denied that they were sentient beings with purpose. My dear kin they are so much more than that as well! They are perfection in an inherently imperfect world. Look at that! It is still shimmering in and out of existence!"[/b] The god-orb said one of his appendages, the leg of a horse, pointed at some far off half-existing mountains just to prove his point.

[b]"But they are still our lessers."[/b] The god-orb continued, as it began to float around the magic god. [b]"And it is our duty, as gods, to make the important decision and shoulder the burden to demand sacrifice. For the good of reality."[/b] He spoke with the divine authority of eminence now. Greatness always comes with a great deal of weight. [b]"You are a god. You too will have to shoulder heavy burdens."[/b]

[b]"Yet allow me to ease your mind. I do not intend to go along killing living things for no reason. The Patron of Knowledge had some... naïve ideas about his own concept. This had to be corrected. Sadly, we disagreed."[/b] A few eyes turned towards the slate floating around the orb. [b]"Still, there is no Patron, Matron or other entity right now so foolish that it needs to be rectified."[/b]
