Zadok was drifting above the Source, far enough away so as to see the whole giant ball of red, chaotic gases. While he was lost as to what to do, a green light emerged behind him, and angry thoughts flooded into his mind. He turned and was confronted by a large orb of green energy, which then blasted him with magic. Reflexively, Zadok blocked the magic with rapid movements of his arms, deflecting the energy around him. As he did the same for the following blasts, Zadok was able to hear the orb's thoughts, broadcast freely without any care. The thoughts were not linear, like most beings', but scrambled and multidimensional, like one particular being which Zadok had known personally for many Ages- the Weaver. The Weaver had been around since the beginning, and was one of the original Anti-Keepers. The Weaver had no aim other than the protection of the universe, which to him manifested as a vast array of threads of pure energy. The Weaver was outstandingly powerful, even compared to Zadok in his prime, as he was capable of manipulating matter itself. The Weaver was also a giant ball of energy, exactly like the one before him which was trying to turn him to dust.

Zadok relaxed his mind and received the Carver's thoughts as feelings and images rather than words, as he had done often with the Weaver. The picture was clear- a terrible act of entropy and destruction had been committed, and this alien being floating in front of the corrupted Source watching it must be the demon who did this. While Zadok was durable, and he could heal himself, the Carver's attacks were starting to wear him down. Zadok moved aside, avoiding the next blast, and said telepathically, [b]I am not the one who did this.[/b]

Zadok dodged another blast, and continued, [b]Just listen to me for a moment.[/b]

The Carver would not be easily placated with words alone, but Zadok had more than just words. In all the time which the Weaver had spent communicating by pictures and feelings, Zadok had learned to do the same in return. So Zadok delivered to the Carver his own version of events. If the cosmic guardian could see through its rage it would see the Source turning red of its own accord. It would see the malevolent red cloud of the Ripper emerge in the desert, consuming everything it touched, then flying off. It would feel Zadok's worry and fear over the situation with the Ripper and the Source. These thoughts and memories would rush through the Carver's mind, and Zadok prayed that they would be seen.
