"I admit, I was, and forever am, at His mercy. Before I was granted his favor, I was simply removing the souls hindering my studies of the ruins below. They were in a most twisted state, and the relic deep below was the only way to permanently rid my space of them."

Baku grumbles, a bit of the frustration Kittycut shows regularly for once apparent on the man, "So yer tell'n meh ya didn't even make tha MI's cuz ya wanted us ta succeed?"

"No, child." Markel says flatly, "I had other plans, of course, but the MI's turned out much more promising in hindsight even with the drawbacks. As for my Lord's view on making more, if He ever were to instruct me to stop, I would do so immediately."

He leans forward onto the desk, his gaze as serious as death, "He did not, however, do so. He instructed me to protect it, and did not forbid my using the lost souls of the old, extinct species they are from. There is nothing more He commanded, but if He ordered it protected, something dangerous must be brewing elsewhere. The Fatekeeper would not brazenly demand anything lest it would disrupt the course of Fate."
