>>5940782Although the best thing for the world would probably be to see Metis dead you weren't sure if it was a wise decision.
Surrounded by criminals you doubted they would let you attract that kind of attention.
Not counting Metis himself, he was crazy but not stupid.
Unless he's bluffing, he must have some tricks up his sleeve.
You were unable to read him.
You took a seat in front of him, at least you would hear him out.
In the worst case scenario you would just be wasting your time.
>What exactly do you BELIVE I'm doing? You asked, probing his knowledge.
"I know you are going free a primordial truth. Rescue the All-Mother's granddaughter.
If I had known you saw the injustices of the world as I did I would have recruited you to the cause.
Gaia also holds love towards humans."
The elf's clairvoyance was still working, he knew.
You never found out why he had this ability, but his words confirmed your suspicions.
A gift from Gaia.
You didn't think necessary to ask how much he knew, it was probably everything.
>What is it YOU'RE playing at?
He tilted his head in confusion, smile unwavering.
"I don't understand your question. I want to help you because it's the right thing to do.
The All Mother weeps for her granddaughter, they are both trapped. Drowned.
Isn't it logical that I would come? And isn't it logical that I would ally myself with anyone who shared my resolve?"
>Hear him out "Okay, say what you have to say."
He nodded and began to explain.
"Gaia wants to open a path for you. We will go to a warehouse no one goes to and she will part the earth.
Then we will descend into one of the depths of the dungeon.
It will not be the layer the child is in. You will need to descend.
Its too... crowded to conduit the All-Mothers power well.
After that, you will ascend and I will reopen the way out. That's it."
"You said that like you are planning to stay back, letting me do all the work. Why dont you want to go down? "
He does not even flinch when you accuse him.
"Alas, Gaia refuses to whisper to me what lies bellow.
I have concluded I'm not supposed to know, so I should not venture down.
Its the only reason I have waited for you, savior."
You are not sure if Metis is lying about his lack of knowledge.
But it is true that if he knew, he could have rescued the child himself.
So it's not so much his machination as Gaia's.
Is that better or worse?
What will you do?
>Accept his offer, he is a wildcard but he wants the best for the newborn god. >Reject his offer from him, you cant trust Gaia. (You can try talking to the bartender or another avenue from >>5939703) >Ask him something else (What?) >Write inNote: Could have drawn Metis again, but Emilia and the stickers she is going to try to sell to some criminals was more fun.
