PLEROMA | VOICE, ALSO FORWARD DATED TO AROUND THEN
[Estinien still isn't sure how he feels about this method of communication, but now that it seems like something may be on the horizon, he'll sacrifice his mental well-being to get it done. He pushes inexpertly into the psychic realm, reaching out to all of those touched by the Pleroma.
It comes through roughly like his voice, but with a persistent sense of wary anticipation tinging it.]
Hail. This is Estinien Wyrmblood... with any luck, I have been able to reach you.
My dreams have been plagued by queer echoes of the selfsame vision we all had upon our arrival. It feels as if the shrines are once again stirring, and that more lost souls have fallen within their hold. If so, we can be sure that the Regent and their new thralls will one more move to claim the victims as prisoners.
We cannot allow this to happen. This time, I plan to meet the Kenoma's forces head-on, challenging them for the strategic positions around the shrines they took for granted last time. I know that not all of us have the training or abilities required to fight against such odds, but for those that do, I implore you to join me. 'Tis possible that we can spare these new arrivals the same dire fate.
Regardless of whether you join me on the field, I would find great value in knowing everything you can offer concerning the nature of the Kenoma's Aion forces. I fought a handful of them in the caverns, but many more escaped my focus.
For those that will lend their strength, but who have gone to the city... it is now within our power to guide you to our more secure location. There are those we can confer here that will help us plan our best way forward.
[At this point, he will let his message drift. Compiling information and threadjacking are very much welcomed! We are shamelessly ripping off the Kenoma here.]

There's house repairs needed here all the time and their weapons are good, but old. They lack resources and jumping between gathering them or helping with what I can... It's great. I love that kind of work, always have. Figuring out how to fix a problem is always exciting — And I know no work is too small, but...
I don't want to be someone stuck behind a door somewhere. That's just not me.
[ In more ways then one. He can't sit still, he has to be out there — Doing something more. It's why they went on adventures. It's what his father wanted of him, and that's the thought that crosses his thoughts then, that comes over rather he means them to or not: A chief protects his own. It's not an easy sentiment to forget. Especially now. ]

You want to be out there and making a difference somehow, I see... and I understand.
[ he can absolutely relate; though a great many of the problems that the Aions face are above him and beyond his expertise, sitting aside doesn't seem like a plan the priest can stomach either. so-- ]
Then, maybe between the two of us... we can figure a way for us to do some good. For you and me both, sir. I don't want things to come to blows, and as much as that might be inevitable considering the situation-- there has to be more we can do, right? There are those among the Kenoma who feel like we do, who would rather use their words than swords. If we appeal to their sense of reason, maybe...

And what if they can't be reasoned with? What if they don't want to be?
[ He thinks of the cave, of those who fought so hard against it (themselves) and those who fell to the depths (the others). How maybe if he hadn't been so stubborn and determined to cling on the situation would be different; But fundamentally, he wanted to believe life could be lived without fighting. It's what he fought for, after all. ]
My father once said something. You cannot reason with a man who doesn't want to be reasoned with, a man who wants war. These guys chose that path and the person behind them, they seem even crazier. If they want us... I'm not sure there's any other path.

there's a pulse, pang of a distinct feeling of dejection that travels through the Communion. while there is part of Abel that can absolutely understand these words, there is another part of him that is sincerely conflicted to hear them. it strikes a particular chord; cuts deep. ]
...And, what do you believe, sir?
Do you believe there's no other way?
