She raises the flames a bit higher, the blue and silver reflecting in her eyes, as she watches the Mage thoughtfully as she leans against her staff. Picking her words carefully and smiling she whispers upon the air, "I never doubted you could strike him down anywhere, and any way. But, there will also be someone to heal him, even if it costs them their life. Even now, Larry is healed. So... does that insinuate you are more powerful? I think not. It only shows you pick poor assassins to use." She chuckles softly... She lightly taps her staff to the floor, and the moonstone set upon the top glows a fiery purple around the room. She whispers once more, her eyes glowing in trance..
"To Power, time means nothing. Everything belongs to the Spiral -- be it the path of the universe, the rotation of the Starweb itself, or the path of Father Sun across the sky.
And where does Power come from? Like the storms, it comes from earth, and sky, and water, and the Power of Father Sun, and the Wise One Above.
Of all the sources of Power we know, the Wolf Bundle is most Powerful on earth. The Wolf Dreamer led the People from the First World to this one, the Wolf Bundle was made. Born of a Dream, it suckled itself from the the minds of the People. Because th People believed in it, it grew in strength... warmed by as many hands as held it so reverently.. powered by the spirit breathed into it from a thousand lungs; it is the soul and Power of my kind, elves, and humans.
Yes, your shadow magic is powerful... but remember, your power comes from the same place as mine... although from in the earth's shadows, instead of light.
That's what keeps bringing me back to you. The Power of the Wolf Bundle and the ley lines.
The Circles of the spiral are turning and the earth is changing. You are trying, by your own use of Shadow magic to unravel the Starwebs woven by the Wise One Above. Time doesn't mean anything to Power, but it does to the humans inhabited here.
Sooner or later, you and I must dance the spiral of Power... only one will survive.. but it will change the course of these forums forever.
For every attempt you make on Larry's life, I will take that residual power left over, and form it each time together, to create a magic to fight you with.
So said, where do your true interests lie, Mage? In Larry, or what he is trying to create?"
