He pushed himself upright, dusted himself off, and grinned at her. "Truth to truth. The one who wants you, and one who called you. Both of us have Need for you, but neither of those Needs are mutual. So, I had an idea, which made the universe flinch, but it will work, with your help. One that allows you to stay here AND to go with me, in a fashion."<br/><br/>He glanced at the gnoll, wondering if he wanted to explain it, but the slight shake of his head was answer enough. "We need your memories. Not all of them, just the parts that make you what you are, not who. The desire to purge and strengthen the religion, the need to fight, the tactical know-how to go toe to toe with an avatar that is unwilling or unable to use their divine spark, the thing that makes them an avatar. You can either stay and serve, and I will pull my... hmm, my... I am not sure what the word is, but that which binds you to me, and allow him to replace. I then transfer those memories you allowed us to use, and put them in an identical body, along with all the other things that you are willing to give."<br/><br/>He leaned back, hands flat on the ground behind him but still in plain view, a completely relaxed pose, one that wasn't threatening. "Of course, if you would rather not, and would like to just help one of us, then the other will simply have to make due. A shame, but that is how choice sometimes plays out."
