Dear mortals,

As you may or may not know I have had an altercation with the Ashura.
Now that the dust has settled and My spite has subdued and turned to
quiet sadness I would like to clarify. I am not at war with the Ashura.
I think the Ashura are a very determined group with wonderful discipline
and I am sure they will flourish under the guidance of Nature.

Congratulations to them on the celebration of their anniversary, and I
give them, and you all one piece of advice. The way of mischief is the
way of finding all of the facts to better tailor your plans to a target.
Lorielan in Her pursuit of knowledge is a great role model to any
wishing to wreak mischief upon their peers and gaining every fact in a
situation, scoping out every bolt-hole and escape route, planning for
every eventuality and knowing how best to push the buttons to ensure a
fun and exciting outcome without loss of life, your own or anyone elses.
In My negociations with the Ashura I did not live to My own principles.
I was blinded by having what I thought was everything handed to Me on a
plate and the hidden knife was between My shoulderblades before I could
draw breath.

My advice is this: Nothing in life is free or simple, always look for
the hidden cost, the "other option" that's waiting in the shadows to
leap out and switch places with you. Know ALL of the facts before going
ahead, and anticipate the ones that you suspect but are not sure of.

Good luck to the Ashura, I harbour no ill will. But remember that I am
the Daughter of War and I will strike when struck at. I have the power
of War and Chaos within Me, that I choose to use for amusement, but it
can as easily be used for vengeance and madness.
