DEIMOS
And perhaps that’s where they’d gone awry initially; thinking to protect and salvage the world, instead of their own region first. And it had worked for a while; until ultimately the Family had been eradicated from Sunjata and Ru alike. The consequences were rendered in dilapidated and disheveled stone, and it would take a while before the likenesses could be created and mended back together again – with or without the void erasing properties. “That is what I was thinking too.” Cleansing and healing, close by, without having to venture towards the Fangs and the isolation – nor a sudden onslaught of a blizzard – to keep them from accessing life-saving qualities.

That age-old sentiment of ‘you cannot save them all’ rang through his head, and perhaps he bitterly swallowed down the proclamations again, hoping that at some point others would stop putting themselves in the line of fire. He couldn’t say much, given their upcoming plans towards Starfall – but that too was for the greater good. “It always seems to be a fine line,” he uttered, wrinkling his nose, every bit the boyish interludes when he could surround himself in fond company, rather than putting up the fortifications and fronts. “I doubt any other region is going to try for such things now.” And he couldn’t say that he blamed them – not when the backlash was so imminent, rapid, and treacherous.
