He smiled as she showed she was going to be reasonable. "Hardly a test and show of skill. In fact, if you wanted, you could even have her wandering about, show her the folly of what happens to those that oppose you. Of course, that would be mean, and I would have no interest in doing that to a child, so therefore I will rejoice that I was speaking hypothetically, and not suggesting a course of action. Because, as I said, that would be wrong."<br/><br/>He smiled, and made a note to spare one of the other children, and whisk the one in question away. Since, after all, his constructs couldn't tell the difference, and he was certain Ellistraee would be far more interested in the child than Lloth. He bowed, and took his bottle, glad he had only half filled his glass. "The attack will commence in an hour or two. Depends on how long it takes to get them in position and motivate them. Like all true artists, they need to be 'in the mood or the zone' in order to perform to their unreasonable standards. That should give you enough time to get back and get ready to enjoy the show. Provided they haven't already destroyed the city."<br/><br/>He left, heading to the exit, already broadcasting the need to collect the child of power, and the other three could be left behind. She was the youngest, and would be so very easy to 'accidentally' clip her in a most fatal manner, justifying her departure from the goddess' senses.
