Eris,
It should be no surprise, as you embody chaos that even your memory can not maintain the order of events. nor resist changing the details for the sake of creating something new, regardless of its truth - or its *half-truth*. I see none of your slant towards such distortions has eroded with your absence. You asked me if Gaia (a name much kinder than the one you first used for our sister) had a hand in the destruction of the Spawn and asked my council in such matters. I responded first with simple fact that, "Yes, Gaia found the Spawn to be an blight upon the land so chose to slay and remove it on one occasion." I then proceed to your second question, concerning counsel and asked with surprise that if you wished my aid in making decisions, (perhaps your own thoughts were too chaotic to formulate your own decision in this matter) I would certainly be glad to give you advice whenever you would like."
However, the only advice *I* offered you was to choose to do something no one expected (hence satiating your chaotic nature) and forgive Gaia, revive the unicorn (which at this point you had already made a decision to slay - apparently you wanted not my advice after all) and end the immortal 'cat fight" you and she have so long engaged in at the expense of so many mortals. Thouhg I am glad to hear that your words in your last post reflect your desire to follow the counsel of "justice and righteousness" your actions and selective memory are not in line with the only advice I offered you.
As for your "contest" - yes I appeared. Word was that you, in your chaos were healing some and leaving others unaided. I saw no evidence of this after my arrival and from that point on stood by and watched with great sadness as the mortals of this land learned a painful lesson. Those who most reflected upon this lesson were among the final few who remained. You insisted they slay each other until none were left standing, and the realization sunk in that they would have to kill their own comrades to leave. 'Twas only then that they realized the price one pays for Chaos is often much higher than expected. May the realms learn this important lesson before more are misled into debts upon their soul that are greater than they wished. And may those who seek to know truth untainted by chaotic interpretations learn to read between the lines of such words from the mouths of those who embrace such interpretations and seek to spread their like across the lands.
