‘There’s much that needs to be considered, in truth. Given what it has tried to pull, right under our nostrils, simply breaking all ties and hoping for the best for it is… not a smart move to make.’ he responds. ‘I intend to watch over it at the very least.’
‘Watch over it from a distance, or in a more “controlled” form?’ you question.
He gives a slight shrug of his shoulders. ‘That depends on if this change of perspective is genuine or not. I am aware this may sound like stones thrown from a house of glass to you, but it is a gamble to fully trust the Chronicler.

Even with all we have gathered, even with all we have done, the final push to free the mortals of the universe from the tyranny of the Archons will take everything we have. But it CAN be done! That all of you are standing here is proof positive of it! Yalbadoth will throw everything he can at us, but from what I have seen, from what you all have shown, we CAN do this!” He makes a fist and pumps it in the air. “What’s more, that one of the Archons themselves has proven capable of change is a sign that this universe CAN be free from divine tyranny!”
“Well said, hater of gods.” Ryuuno comments with a soft smile and humble voice. “If all is said and done, I wish to be part of the team that will bring down my father for good.”
“If I may make a suggestion of my own,” Zelos begins formally. “Authadia would be a better fit for I and a couple others… at least with Hado and Sala by my side.”
“What, ya still don’t trust me with yer sword?” Sala remarks with a pout, Hado rubbing the side of his head and mumbling something under his breath.
“On the contrary, I trust you can indeed use it, but instead I wish to be able to help you bring out its full potential.” he responds.
