<Snipped quote by Dark Cloud>

Thanks, but I avoid teleportation inside of dungeons. I can make my way back up.

@Fractured

I'm not going to use magic, another talent I have is dimensional travel. I'll put us right back into the chamber with the Beholder without putting you in harms way.

@Dark Cloud

Thanks, but I can get back up. I've learned to not teleport through dungeons.

If you say so.

@Dark Cloud

Meh, I'll take your way. Sounds more convenient anyway.

<Snipped quote by ZAVAZggg>

A hefty price for mere words, why die for your convictions when you could do so much more?

@Dark Cloud

*Is knocked back once again*

Tell me, of what worth is effort when it is devoid of conviction?

[Fractured]

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*Shrugs*
If you say so.

@Dark Cloud

I'll see you both up there.

@ZAVAZggg

Nothing will matter, and you will decide what is worth your effort.

@Dark Cloud

*Scoffs*

So a meaningless philosophy is what you wish to peddle to me?

*Nods before turning*

Shall we be going then Alna?

@ZAVAZggg

All philosophy is meaningless in the grand scheme of things...Well meaningless to a being such as myself.
*Dedregen looms from the shadows unfurlling great leathery wings,*
Your convictions are alien to me.

@Caldizar

We shall, see you up top Gio and you as well Lilly!

@Dark Cloud

*Sheaths my blade*

Allow me to explain them with an example then. Suppose you have a farmer tending a field, not for himself but for another. He does not enjoy this, nor does he really wish to pursue it, he only does so for the sake of survival.

*Pauses as several buildings are annihilated in the distance*

It is my opinion that such thing's are not truly worth doing, for the farmer's heart and soul are not in it. I believe that, for the farmer's efforts to truly mean anything, he must carry them out with conviction. Else he is no better than a husk going through the motions.

*Looks you up and down*

But perhaps that is what you are...

*Crosses my arms*

A husk.

[Galvanize]

<Snipped quote by Source>

*The form stretches at the explosion but quickly recompresses down onto you*
You'll certainly require a bit more assertion than the others.
*Distorted limbs explode inward from all over the mass surrounding you, landing blows on you in quick succession and even simultaneously to others before sinking back into me, and the process repeats with rapid spontaneity*

*creates a barrage of black metal blades that fire at you*

That's dumb. You're dumb.

@Threads of Fate

Heh, it's the mark of a fool to dismiss an idea outright.

*Looks back to the battle, which has only intensified*

@ZAVAZggg

A husk...
*I mockingly echo your words, a tinge of anger and defensiveness in my tone.*
An empty shell of a man...
*The ground begins to tremble as I raise my voice growing angry at your words.*
Do I look like a pathetic morta-

@Dark Cloud

*Smiles*

And there it is. Conviction. Deny my words all you like, but you've not attained any manner of Zen state. You still act based on want and emotion, both of which take conviction.

*With a tip of my top hat we disappear in the blink of an eye, reappearing within the room with the Beholder corpse.*
