“Why are we doing this?”
“The short answer?”
“Give me the complicated one,” Torrullin sighed.
“We are here for different reasons,” Elianas said in an
even tone. “We say it is to right a wrong, for the echoes to spread out, for
your heirs to find peace in a wholesome universe, but it is mere excuse. We
would like to be charitable and altruistic, the benefactors of time, and it is
indeed a noble goal and, of course, Grinwallin is a threat, one we hope to
contain. Still, it is excuse. Grinwallin unleashed means change, catastrophic
change, and yet change will always have merit. Grinwallin unleashed will bring
on a new era, difference to the long future ahead, but would it be bad?
Sentience is good at survival, evolution and adaptability; life would go on.
Such change could herald a new order of togetherness, as righting an ancient
wrong would.”
“Gods,” Torrullin muttered.
“Exactly. Let us step aside from the great goals here and
speak of the truth of each individual. We
are the reason we do this; us, our souls, hearts, minds and the rest of it.
Sentience is selfish, and no one in this realm right now has ever risen above
selfishness.”
“True.”
