Draiss stared at her, before slowly nodding. "Alright, that just about fits in with what I guessed, but why is it shrinking? The other gods have been monitoring the multiplanarverse for ages, and according to them, it hasn't changed at all. Of course, they aren't being very intelligent about the monitoring, more making sure the number of planes they can sense stays steady, but still... Something to check.<br/><br/>Fine I am the traitor, the other six carry the one shredded, and Verdelet has the other intact one. Explains a lot, like why the other six are insane. Irrelevant however.<br/><br/>So, how about this instead? If we keep fighting, eventually I will find a way to kill you all, if I have to. I want to protect mine, nothing more, though I end up often having to protect others when doing that. But back to the point. We keep fighting, eventually I will find a way to kill you all. So what I offer instead is that we work together. Find a way to get you more territory, stop ours from expanding, whatever. I can do it, I have been doing it. I just need more information. The more I know, the more I can do things.<br/><br/>But if you would rather, we can fight, I can shred you, the three remaining pieces, and Verdelet's beyonder, before bringing the fight to your territory. It might take a few millennia on our side, not sure how long one of your cycles is, but I will eventually come there, and stop you all, however I have to.<br/><br/>If you want to talk, instead of fighting, release Reekesha, and send a beyonder to the edge of our existence. Send a message through one of the taints, and I will come to that location, alone, where we can meet at the edges of our two existences. Two choices, war and death, or peace and cooperation."
