Pelor's avatar nods, in agreement with much of Draiss says. "Of course. I, nor anyone, expected us to stand by and allow Her to bring her plan to completion. Had you not interfered, it is possible that those you traveled with might have perished... or they might have found inspiration in just the right place, to turn the tide of battle and succeed." He gives a slight wink, as if indicating that he might have ensured that. "I find myself more concerned with your actions more recently, here. The elf child, for instance. By marking her, before her birth, you have removed much of her freedom. She will always be your chosen one, without having chosen<em>you.</em>The choice is made for her. Yes, in this case, she may go on to do great things... but she might have done that, without you." The old man gives a slight sigh. "Or maybe I just don't have the willpower, to devote myself to small details, such as the search for your companions' mother, and see any attempts such as that as being brash and foolhardy, an act of an impulsive youngster, with entirely too much power." He smiles, wryly, at that, a little twinkle in his eye.
