[ Jesper feels fairly confident that destroying the Singularity will probably destroy at least this world, if not others. This world is made of magic, he can't imagine that killing the source of it will simply take the magic away, it will have long term consequences if it doesn't blow them up right away. He doesn't know if anyone is stupid enough to do that here, but at the end of the day, the Summoned are a small group of outsiders. The people in charge of many more. ]
We're only, what, around fifty people total? It's easy to feel like we're much more important than we are, considering the ways we are special, but yeah, we're probably just a different type of fodder. Getting us killed will cause less backlash than killing their own people.
[ It's a cynical point of view, sure, but Jesper can be both an optimist and a cynic at the same time. He would lean more toward realist. He sees danger where it is, and he keeps an eye on it, because he likes breathing. If the factions want to send out their special Summoned to fight their battles for them, they will find a way. ]
Oh I didn't add them because from what I hear, they're fairly neutral on the subject. Apparently they think we should leave it alone, which is the sanest opinion I've heard.
[ The Singularity, that is. Jesper like anyone else with a big streak of curiosity would love to go and poke at the giant rock. He wonders what it would feel like under his fingers, with his powers. But he also feels like the best path is to ignore it entirely. Leave it alone. It's a massive magical powerful entity with who knows what type of personality or interests of its own. Humans cause enough trouble without needing magic. ]
Not that long before I got here, they did manage to pit some Summoned against each other. There were caskets from Thorne to bring back magical energy, and the other two got in the way. In the end everyone got the same amount of magical caskets back. Don't know if anyone knows what happened to them after that.
[ They probably all have them still. For all Jesper knows, they're making weapons with them, it seems like the smartest call. The point is, they've succeeded in pitting Summoned against each other before. It can be done again. As for conflict, Jesper just shrugs. ]
Eh, life would be boring if it was perfect and peaceful all the time.
