[Malik's expression is hard, warily calculating even if he is keeping his tone fairly mild.]

If you are not an illusion of memory... you did teach me well, Rashid. Even if I was never the favored one.

[There's something bitter there along with a quirk of smugness.]

[answernpcs]

Why would you have been? Till the very end, you were the tool for men of greater skills and power. This world is no different.

[ He then turned to Ellie. ]

The Guardian has nothing to do with this. Not that you could hope to defeat him.

[vonspielburg]

I have no wish to do so. I will consider the point moot, then.

[She's still suspicious, but a little less aggressive about it. As much as she'd like to demand a straight answer, Ellie decides to back off and see what Malik has to say, because that's interesting. This man, Rashid, was Malik's mentor? And Malik was not the favored one? Surprising, considering his talents. She refrains from looking at Ales to gauge his opinion; this is something they can discuss later.]

[Rashid? So Malik knew this man. Albel did put Sheena down then, if only because her stillness was more suspicious than her flailing. The ninja was likely plotting revenge already. But if Malik knew the stranger, then Albel felt a little safer releasing his girlfriend.]

What do you mean we aren't strong enough?

[He glowered.]

What do we need to do to get stronger?

OOC: Mod wrap up - if missed.

The thread was for the most part done, save for the conclusion. Al-Mualim would have explained that this all is born from their memories, and that even he is nothing more than a memory. He isn't the one who made all of this, but an "avatar" who wanted to point out their flaws and weaknesses, which he would have pointed out, are particularly strong in Sheena and Malik. Should they have protested, Al-Mualim and the city around them would have faded, except for the corpses of the soldiers they killed. It remains unclear whether these soldiers were actual people they killed because of the illusion, or part of the illusion.
