The Promise
Who: [npc] Rhea and anyone
Where: The Shrine... and possibly her residence if they stalked her home on the rare occassion she actually went to head to bed.
When: August 1st to the 11th
Summary: Rangar made their presence known to the Guests, the scientists are trying to cover it up to maintain order, and there is a priestess who is apparently trusted by the leader who has no knowledge of the incident. This needs to be remedied.
Warnings: Potential plot spoilers.
[OOC: This is a post for anyone who wishes to pester Rhea after the revelations brought upon by Zeloph on the network. However, ICly the entry has been removed by those who maintain the communications network.]

Though this darkness you speak of... that is the negative force that is most often used by and for the more nefarious, right?

[ He blinks a little, when asked about darkness. He's... not used to having to explain it. ] That's right.
[ How to find the words for this? ... how had Master explained it? What had he learned over the years?
One thing at a time, Terra. Choose your words carefully. ] Darkness itself isn't evil - it's an element of nature, acting as the balance for Light. All beings with Hearts have it inside of themselves, but it's also all around us - Light makes room for it, casting shadows.
[ He pauses again, uncertainty appearing in his expression. This is getting a little personal. ] Like any element, it can be misused - water can take life as well as give it, fire burns, earth crushes, and winds can destroy when they're too wild. Darkness, though...
[ Yeah. It's becoming a little personal. ] It's easier to bring to the surface with negative emotions - anger, fear, grief. It's often used by... people that seek power in some way. Some want to conquer, others destroy. But some...
[ Here, he lays his hand on the table, palm-side up, and closes his eyes to concentrate. Within seconds, a black and red ball of something not unlike fire manifests, wisps and particles of smoke drifting up. He opens his eyes, and it's not difficult to see the guilt and shame in his eyes. ] ... some only want strength in order to protect those closest to them, and have their wish used against them.

[She smiles faintly, then quietly listens to the story. For some reason she cannot fully explain, she feels...sympathetic... to the plight she can vaguely recall.]
That's right... It would be a rather touchy subject. [She bows her head slightly in apology.] We have a similar force in our world that dates back to primordial times. However, it isn't always tied to negativity... Some texts refer to it as the "Mist", or "Aether"--though the most popular translation is the "Miasma".
Mist, what you would call a blend of both light and darkness, is what we derive our magick. In controlled quantities it is harmless and can be channeled to either heal or support. Hells, some like myself have managed to use it in an offensive manner. It was only in recent history that humanity began trying to classify and divide the kind of mage one was by how they manipulate the aether. Hence my brief confusion.
[She grows silent for a moment.]
... However when potent miasma is unleashed from a large tear in the boundaries like it was over a century ago... Well, even life-giving properties can destroy in too high an amount. That is why most mages practice a form of balance between the two types.
