His features took on a darker look, and he turned his eyes down to the table as he considered her words. "Nothing." He replied with brutal honesty. "And nothing I say will change that. In fact, many things I may have you and the others do would look like a weapon of Eodin being forced upon our neighbors. That is exactly why it is not something I can ask of the public. It is not a cause I can rally our military behind. It is not a cause I can ask the people to take up themselves. It is not a cause that I can do myself, for more than just the logistical problems of leaving and handling such things on my own..." He trailed, clearing his throat.<br/><br/>"Kiur is a land that has known war for far too long. I don't claim to be the right way. I don't claim to know the best way. I simply know that the way that things have been in the past isn't working, and it won't work if we keep letting it run its course. There are bad people in positions of great power spread all across this land. If they remain there, things will never change. To ensure peace, to progress for all people... Action must be taken." He said, confidently, but perhaps with a hint of regret. "Until Kiur is one, there can not be lasting peace. To make Kiur one, things must be done that go against the very nature that we're trying to build."<br/><br/>Looking up from the table Mikael found her eyes with his own. "I can offer you nothing but my word. I do not do this for myself, I do this for the people of this land. I am not the man to lead a united Kiur, but I may be the man to bring it together."<br/><br/></span><hr/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: courier;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 20pt;"><strong>Game Master</strong></span></span></div><hr/>
