Good for her. I'm going to go hunt down my brother again. I can't rest until I save him.

@Valiance

I know how you feel. When Soren was taken over by Svár... I'm so glad Svár's not evil anymore. Nova would be so happy if she knew. I can't imagine how it must feel, knowing that he was forced to do so many horrible things...

I might know why you think you had to do that, but let's hear it.

@Unhinged

Before they fought, Ridge and Rythian made a deal. If Ridge won, Rythian would let us fix him, but if Rythian won, Ridge would let Maelstrom out. Even though it was a draw, Ridge's win condition was still fulfilled.

@Balance

So?

<Snipped quote by Balance>

So?

@Unhinged

Who's to say that Rythian's win condition wouldn't be fulfilled in return? Magic is too fickle to risk it. For Ridge to live a short time thinking his brother is still on the loose is better than Ridge being trapped in his own mind, watching helplessly as Maelstrom rampaged.

@Balance

How do you know magic is involved?

@Unhinged

I'm used to very binding deals. I didn't want to risk it.

[Unhinged]

@Balance

I don't feel there was any risk. Neither of them use magic.

... Oh. Well, that's embarrassing. I guess I should have thought about it more.

Nothing to do about it now.

Are you talking about the magician?

@Host

Well, that's humorously ironic. Yes, we are.

Well, since he left, it wasn't that hard to figure out.
