Or destroy it, if it cannot be controlled. Such is the way of man. Such is the way of war.
But the gods have proven they are no better. If humanity was made in any god's image, than clearly there was little alteration in their creation.]

He rises from the waters, letting the water -- magma? -- drip from his body, the bandages still miraculously spared. The invitation is a well-received one. He cannot very much spend the rest of his life in one castle, whether the rest of it may be short or long-lived.] I will take you up on that when we return. [Gathering his clothes, he gives Kyle a short bow. At least, while he is here, he cannot relax for too long. Not while the dragons require more aid.] I should like to learn as much of this world as I can.
