*Immediately broadcasts a series of signals*
Do either of you understand what's going on right now?

@Source

<Snipped quote by Source>

Understand? Absolutely not. But I have some suspicions.

@Galaxy Raider

Surely it isn't hard to grasp by this point? By the perspective of some, namely you, this is over. The "ending" you wanted? Maybe. You could consider this the curtain fall, but we'll see who can make an appearance at the call.

@Melodious

Surely this isn't as simple as a failure on Nemid's part.

The only circumstance in which I fail , conceptually, is in death.
*The space grows ever smaller, but everything is now coalescing more onto me than previously*
Which should be understood by now is not a concept for me. In a few moments, though, things will either resume as they have during our conflict, or you will have... Time... And though adversaries we may be, there is no need to lie on fronts such as this. It feels strongly like the latter.

*Glances at Sven, although my eyes are hidden beneath my cloak*
What means would be required to contain this, in either case? We have external tools available to us now.

We've been in a "Throw everything that we can afford at the problem at once to see if it's enough" sort of situation since this started. Forces greater than we started the entire conflict with? But my resources are drained. My people are spent. I have nothing but myself.

@Galaxy Raider

This cloak is built to contain and suppress external entities. But it's no guarantee.

I'm not the expert anymore, if I ever even was. I respect any calls that need to be made.

*The space, having shrunk severely by now, is almost morphed tot he shape of my person*
In the event I am to be absent, my wish is not a horrible life for anyone in your reality. Until I return, I wish you the best. I trust you, Artahe, to show them the bright side of you that you've kept so hidden?

*A blazing furnace of shadows surrounds me and extends toward the entity*

*My body morphs as the crystal begins to reform around me*
When the conflict resumes, I may see no familiar faces. While I resent your impediment of the freeing of my kind, I don't resent you for fighting so hard for what you believe.
*The crystal is just about to reform, with the glowing aura of my person slowly melding with it and growing dimmer, now only appearing as a cracked gem*
See you soon.
*The cracks seal and the excessively bright light fades, forming a luminescent new gem*

@Galaxy Raider

If all goes according to plan. The size of this crystal is small enough for a container with the highest-order strength.

I did say I respect any call that needs to be made, but after everything I just heard, I believe sealing him away would only be playing the game the way he wants. And likely what he expects.

@Galaxy Raider

This one is special. A stronger barrier may have kept the crystal contained until my end, but this one will allow us to study it.

@Legend

That was the path I was thinking of suggesting. Let's not seal it away. Let's make sure capable hands can take all this "time" that could be needed to study it and figure out how to truly destroy it.

While I believe that he believed everything he said about death, I don't buy it. I don't believe he is exempted from an end.

I have another idea entirely.

@Galaxy Raider

I feel the same way. There's no way... well, there's no way that would be true eternity.

@Intrepid

What's that?
