Draiss snorted in amusement, before shaking his head. "V'elen thinks that this place can be used for fighting THEM. It doesn't care what happens to the majority of it, as long as enough remains to continue its experiments and calculations, and its host remains relatively intact. I want to keep as much intact as possible. Standard Hero Syndrome and all that. How long will it take for them to get back? If longer than a day, then wait three days before recalling them, and I will have returned, and with some of my allies."
