Nebilim sighed. She hadn't wanted the last Heroes left to be at odds like this, but how could she convince them to cast aside their convictions when she understood them all too well? We Heroes are a stubborn lot, she thought to herself.

"Even if we weaken the Calamity, can you say for certain it will stay weakened? It has an intelligence of a sort. It could quite easily wait to regain its strength before continuing its mission. We, at least, knew about the existence of the Calamity from the beginning. Other worlds will have no warning -- they'll be at an even worse disadvantage than us."

She mulled over Igor's words. To merely bear witness to this destruction... No, she couldn't accept that.

"I don't know if Crystallis was meant to be saved. If there is destiny, we have no way of knowing what our part in it is. We can only choose our own path and believe in our choices."

Her eyes closed briefly before she turned to watch the Crystal of Fire as well, her face grim.

"Somewhere out there, there are worlds where our friends are still alive." Where my students are still alive. "If Crystallis is all that stands between them and the Calamity... then I will do anything to protect it."
