[HQ Ignorance] Re : Re : Scene 129: Rogue Kalen Robot on the Loose!

[Loran]

Without any delay, the half-broken construct is immobilized by any possible mean.
Azhur seems somehow resigned.

- "With this treason, the General doesn't plead for his collaboration and doesn't commit himself to loyalty and trust..."

He turns on the Wizard and asks:

- "Tell me Wizard. Why do you want to take power in Puppetland? This is a great responsibility and responsibility is also and heavy burden for who wants to rule with Wisdom... What is your purpose for the Puppets?"

While waiting for the Wizard's answer, the Westerner tries to assess their chance against the alien magician. Does the Pseudo-Kalen somehow succeeded to wound him? Would it be possible to finish the task and assume the victory? 


In his troubled mind, many questions buzz and many doubts assail his only apparent self-confidence 'if there was truly an Invisible God, Azhur thinks, some sign would lead us to achieve our destiny. Life would have a meaning and this absurd nightmare would have an end... Both the General and the Wizard are mad entities and even phantasmal creatures on some unreal plane, like the Puppets, should deserves a better ruler... Are the puppets a metaphoric vision of Kralorela at war? Or Kralorela merely a reflection of a symbolic war played elsewhere? Troubled but ready for some definitive action, Azhur reminds his duties: lead the Fellowship to safety, bring back Talor's weapons in the West, preserve peace against the Kingdom of War and love his wife...
