>>5318385>Would we be spirited out of Clearwater and leave our friends for good if we took the job?We absolutely would. These things run the world like a mafia. They pull strings and hide in the shadows while they do it. We would be a tool for them to use and disposed of if it ever became more convenient to do so. To be entirely frank with you, I would literally trust the demon more than I trust these things. Demons are driven by basic, primal urges. Whatever principal or concept they’re based off of. Even a demon of knowledge would ultimately have no more inimical a purpose than to know everything it could, and in doing so it’s schemes and plays can only become so complex. The desires and drives of the Fae, by contrast, are so completely inscrutable that we would likely never truly know it in its entirety. They’re both predators. The difference is that the demon would just consume our soul. These things would put us through foul labors, steal our personality and everything we know, leave us hollow, and then break our neck once we grew disillusioned with it all, or when we were no longer worth the cost of keeping around and well after we had ruined the lives of countless others.
As
>>5317691 said, these things want to take advantage of the Atlanteans and the demons they’ve summoned. Remove another player that can put up a fight in their game. The demons might even be a tool the Atlanteans brought about in a last ditch measure to keep the fairies from doing exactly what they want us to do right now. We already know the sea-witch bound that enormously powerful sea demon to her cause. That had to have been dangerous beyond measure. Those cannons they made can barely even scratch that demon. Can you even begin what kind of threat had the Atlanteans so worried that they would go so far as to take the risk of summoning a creature like that to defend them?
The only way mankind wins this is if we keep all the bigger players fighting each other long enough for us to find a leg to stand on. To even the playing field. Equalize the odds. We take their offer and we help them worm their puppet strings into more of the human world. Break us down and use us to their ends in this cosmic game we know nothing about. Like I said, we would become a tool to be used.
>NAH! YOU’LL PASS!Get rid of the leaf. The fairies aren’t all powerful, else they would have done these things themselves. They’re aren’t unbeatable. They aren’t unkillable. Else they would have won their game a long time ago. We don’t need to be afraid of them. We can beat them if we’re smart. We’ve already done too much work for them. Even the rewards they gave us is something we could likely acquire through other means, know that we can access the knowledge of the Atlanteans. Do away with their “offer.”
