[ME] who tells your story

My long term memory might have been eroded by the decades, but my recollection of this is without error. "Former Captain Roana Steadman will be leading the charge. If successful in breaching the Spire, the party will immediately enter to find and destroy the power sustaining the barrier, regardless of the possible dangers posed." I recite, looking without emotion at Roana. "You have already made your intentions clear as we have made ours. This is not a matter for Outlanders to decide. This is our home, not yours. Our decision, not yours. We outnumber you in strength and skill. We do not require your understanding or your productive discussions. The fact you believe that this decision can be made in the absence of the gods shows your ignorance in this place. The battle over the Spire is precisely one which involves in the gods." I say, wondering why it is this woman has shown up alone with so much confidence and so little understanding. All this I say, voice even. Turning to Rory however, I have yet more to add. "One of the first wise things you have said. You two—" I look towards Evie and Amalia "—pray to gods who have already made their desires clear. To keep ours trapped within. But she shall be freed." 108 mind is the echo of a future
