<You are right. Having too much pride leads to arrogance, but having a lack of pride leads to depression and a loss of morale. The problem with pride is that it is difficult to say whether one has too much or too little pride.>
"Make up your mind ancient. One minute you say that the ancients are the key to saving the worlds. The next minute you say that it is humankind. I'm growing tired of this. You claim that you need to combat some huge threat, yet you don't even provide proof that this threat exists. Where is your proof this threat exists and wants to destroy the worlds? Show it to me!" Matt demanded. "Until you do so, then I will view your claims as being nothing more then lies designed to prevent your destruction at the hands of mankind."
"Did I ask for your opinion Forlirn? You've already shown that you are firmly on Souls side on this argument, so I hardly view your opinion as being worthwhile. If you proved yourself capable of critizing Soul and the rest of her kind, then I might view things differently." Matt replied.

"It's a simple matter for one who has walked the corridors of the mind for millennia," the dragon replied, its form shimmering slightly. "And bringing another with me is just as simple. As for the risks, they consist of any hazards the mind in question contains within its structure, in addition to the threats that may already lurk within it. Of course, such threats are only as deadly as the limits of your mind... unless our meddling releases said threats to the outside world, in which case there truly would be a powerful threat to face, which I simple can not allow. Considering the taint in your friend's mind, we would certainly find much more dangers than the usual sort of mind."
Soul blinked slowly. Although telepathy was normally impossible on Neuva for those lacking it as a natural, non-magical ability or a previously established link, Soul, as well as most ancients, was quite able to communicate through telepathy, though she rarely did so.
<He seems to possess no shortage of it.>
Even in telepathy, Soul's tone remained neutral.
<Aye... so many fine lines, eh? And here I thought we didn't want to find anymore.>
"I did not say either. You jumped to conclusions based on only part of my words," Soul replied. "And it is not my task to prove anything to you or to convince you that the truth is the truth. It remains true whether you believe it to be so or not, though you may live long enough to see your desired proof come to destroy all you cherish."
"And you've shown quite clearly that you are ridiculously biased against anything you're afraid of," Forlirn snorted. "And I'm perfectly capable of criticizing Soul: I simply have no reason to do so because there is nothing to criticize. Because unlike you, I don't make up nonsense just so I can."

Fixszorx takes his time as he listens in, digging his claws into the rock below and beginning to scoop it appart, his powerful arm easily breaking a large chunk off, which he happily began to devour, his jaws busting it appart into bits small enough for him to swallow. It seemed to be a tad strange, but living off these stones was actually very healthy for him, and his belly was filled rather quickly, ridding him of his hunger. Shortly after, he would gaze back upon Soul and the other, remaining silent as he observed the others around him.

He was clearly uneasy about the events transpiring, his head raised ,he would constantly stare back and forth between the two, his head still, but his eyes moving from one to the other as they spoke.

"Then let us proceede. There are many things that are locked away within Frilarn's mind that we need to know." said Rhen.
~We must make haste though. My mind becomes restless again. I do not know how long the calm in my mind will last for the time being.~ thought Rhen.
"We do not have to prove what we know to be true Matt. If you do not belive what we say the that is your choice. But when the time comes, you will have your proof. But then it will be to late for humans and ancients alike." said Zhaitan calmly.

<I know. There are so many instances where we must walk a fine line. Even though we may not want to find such instances, we can't really help but encounter them and try to avoid falling off of the line.>
"Again, that means that you simply have no proof and are trying to convince me that a greater threat then yourself exists when it really does not. So if you don't want a war against your betters, then you would be wise to give me proof of this threats existance." Matt said.
"You've proven my point exactly. You are so deluded by your love for Soul that you refuse to critize. She could go and massacre hundreds of people and you would still worship her with all of your heart and mind. If you are so happy being with Soul, then why don't you just stay here while the rest of us go into those ruins and save the worlds from the ancient menace." Matt replied.

Frilarth tilted his head as he watched Fixszorx eat rock from the earth, apparently quite intrigued by such a method of eating, as was evident by the excited gleam in his eyes.
"That might not be the best of options in your current situation," the dragon replied to Rhen. "Navigating your friend's mind could take a great deal of time, and going by what I've heard of the nearby conversation, time is not something you currently have in surplus. It may be best to wait until you are finished with your task to the far north."
<Unfortunately... So as you said, we'll just have to do our best at not muddling said thing up.>
"I have already spoken, but I will repeat myself: it is not my task to provide you with proof of He," Soul replied, unaffected by Matthew's taunting method of speaking. "And threatening war will not change that fact. If you must have proof, then you must seek it yourself, traveler."
"She very well could do so. But she isn't, which is the exact reason I'm not criticizing her for it, because my criticism, which actually follows a logical course, is earned by wrong that is done, not wrong that could be done but isn't," Forlirn answered sarcastically, snorting again. "And perhaps I shall let you go on your own. Perhaps I will let you go to a vast frozen wasteland riddled with blinding whiteouts severe enough to prevent you from seeing more than an inch beyond your nose. Perhaps I will let you wander aimlessly through miles of snow deeper than my body to find a specific cave that could evade your searching even were you given years to search. Perhaps I will let you proceed without the only one of our number who has been in said ruins and knows just what waits within them. It's not as though you actually need me or anything along those lines; it's not as though I'm the only one of us who was witnessed and can therefore sense a True One before it notices you and tears you in half. So go ahead: the ruins could use a new corpse; it quite suits their decor."

Fixszorx slowly turns his head to gaze at Frilath, noticing his staring, returning his gaze. Seemingly understanding that one so unfamiliar with his kind would probably find his actions curious, he attempted to edge over and speak to him "Greetings, bretheren. I could not help but catch your gaze, is there something that interests you?" he pondered, tilting his head a tad. He seemed to shift for a moment and settle down comfortably, his wings spreading out so that he could stretch them,their mass almost acting as a massive tent. He would slowly fold them behind his back once more and listen curiously, unable to help but feel a tad conscious with the argument going on behind him and it's...distressing subject.

"How will I find you when we have accomplished our task? I do not think we will be returning here after we are done up north." said Rhen.
Zhaitan chuckled silently when he heard Forlirn's comment about the True One's decor and Matt being added to it.
~He should see my sense of decoration. It is not much better but it is probobly more neat and organized.~ thought Zhaitan with a grin.

<The sad thing is that it is pretty much impossible to avoid crossing the line at some point or another. We just have to do our best to avoid crossing it as much as we can.>
"Then I have no time for you. You are incapible of providing a simple piece of proof for your claims. As such, I do not see any reason to continue talking to you. This waste of a conversation is over." Matt said.
"Very well, you've made your point and proven it quite well I might add. Lets just pretend that I never said anything." Matt replied.
"If you would like to do whatever it is that you want to do with Frilarn's mind, then I have no problem with waiting. If no one else has any objections then I don't see why you couldn't do it now." Matt said

"Oh, yes, there is," Frilarth replied, his words quite rapid as they usually were whenever he was excited about something. "I saw you eating some rocks, and I realized I had never thought about eating that many rocks before even though they've always just been lying around, which would be really helpful if you were hungry and there is nothing else to eat... except I didn't know it was possible to eat rocks like that, cause normally they just sit in your stomach until you cough them up."
"Travel is simple for one who rarely walks the physical realm," the dragon answered. "Simply think the name Animus and I shall be there."
<Or just try and not cross it when doing so kills us, because that would be quite problematic.>
"Fare thee well then, traveler," Soul replied before growing silent.
"I suppose we could do that," Forlirn answered, a light smirk on his muzzle. "Though I suggest you think through your statements better before you let others know what they are, or you might end up saying something foolish again."
