<Snipped quote by Host>

I can't answer that for you. You'll have to figure out how to grow on your own power.

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

I don’t... really want power.

<Snipped quote by Host>

Not what I meant either. You need to use your own power to grow, regardless of what kind of power it is.

<Snipped quote by Threads of Fate>

What kinds of things do you mean?

<Snipped quote by Host>

That's up to you. Use whatever qualities you consider good to raise up the qualities you consider to be lacking.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Swings my body on the fulcrum and kicks you in the chest, triggering another red crystal explosion*

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*My other fist erupts through the explosion, slamming into your jaw while my grip holds fast*

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

*Takes every attack, up through the final stabs, where I twist my body such that the blades pass me on either side*
Try to reserve judgement until you see me trying.
*Zips downward, grabbing Artorias by the ankle and whipping him around, slamming him into Cain and letting go, hurling them both a great distance*

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Warps backward to a distant orange crystal immediately after your punch makes contact, holding my right hand to my mouth, which partially obscures a trickle of blood across my chin*

<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>
*as you do this, it knocks the two of them away*

Abel: *darts toward you, grabbing you by the face*

what a warrior you are. Fine skills.

*throws you toward the molten ground, and launches toward you from my point in the sky*

Hammer of Dusk.
*on impact, it levels everything on the planet that isn't already dust, and reheats the plasma on the ground by you*

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Stands smoking when the smoke clears, and shakes my hand with the bite wound*

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Naht bad.
*Swallows, and the gems and sword disappear, while my muscles are amplified in their place*

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

My hand returns the compliment.
*Rolls my wrist*

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

You’re sure you still want to do this? You’re welcome to leave now, no questions asked.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I could say the same to you.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I have a job to do. If lives are what you’re worried about, this is a minuscule sacrifice.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

For a bit of physical gerrymandering? I can’t say I’m convinced.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Good description. This will connect key sets of territories for us that need to be adjacent.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I could see the immediate effects, sure. But that itself is a means to an end. Not something you’ll be dusting off your hands for when you’re done, and calling it a job well done. All this to say… Why?

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

These dimensions are an undervalued zone. Destroying them will bring together two sectors controlled by powerful, antagonistic forces. It also bridges territories easily within our grasp.
