Amun gritted his teeth at Darkeye's comments. "Fine. Since you have all the answers, how, exactly are we supposed to secure the area?" Staring at the other man, the potter gestured for Darkeye to speak.
"Will this book stop them from killing us?" The Ascended narrowed his eyes. "Or will it simply be a record of our deaths? Are we not allowed to fight back at all?" Scoffing, he kicked at the ground. "You still haven't answered my question. What are we supposed to do?"
Laughing outright at Darkeye's comment about Gideon being the Order's biggest threat, Amun arched an eyebrow. "Gideon was a threat, yes, but hardly the largest or most aggressive one." Sighing, he pinched the bridge of his nose. "I don't think you're stupid. I think you're optimistic, a little ignorant of the history and forces at play here, and not the one actively being threatened." Lowering his hand, he shook his head. "I want to neutralize or eliminate everyone that wants to wipe my kind from existence. Whether that's by changing their minds, imprisoning them, or, when all else fails, killing them."
Pausing, he shrugged. "Barring that, I'll continue to seek allies. Whether that's the seasonal deities, Frey, or simply those sympathetic to our cause." As the other man strained against the chains, the potter tried to reinforce them. However, he was unable to stop Darkeye from getting up and pressing a knee against the Ascended's neck and a knife against his eye. Going limp, he let go of the metal and held up his hands in defeat.
