I nod grimly.
"Unfortunately, that is a risk you and I will have to take," I say quite seriously. "But, as long as we are together, I don't think we REALLY have to worry. Now, I think you wanted to talk to Ore-ore?"

"And by extension, it's one my brothers and sisters take as well...." I reply. At this point, I was truly more concerned about the greater ramifications of this choice than my death. What if they all had to experience being mauled to death by a bloodhungry animal? I wish Neeche would understand that... Even if she didn't change her mind, I just want her to understand that...

"Huh?" I say. "What do you mean? They're not here, and they probably can't planeswalk like you can. Thus, it's just you and me."

"It's the whole reason I have consciousness and what knowledge I have! All of my memories, like the memories of all of my people, go to the Dream, and all Sylvari, before they are born, see this Dream as they gain consciousness. It gives us purpose and knowledge. It holds onto everything, triumph, glory, pain... When we suffer too much, we fall to darkness. We fight an evergoing battle to make sure that more good memories going into the Dream than bad... I reply.

"That sounds quite frightening," I say. "To think that your memories are all going to be shown to everyone who comes after you...that, to someone like me, is a rather disturbing thought."

"Well... not everyone sees everything, we catch peieces here and there. It's a unique experience for everyone, but yes, many people will have seen through my eyes and body. It's not as terrifying as it seems, though. There's a huge feeling of belonging in the Grove. We all understand each others hardships quite intimately. But, that's familiarity I guess, I've found the idea being a young baby to be fightening... to be so helpless and dependant, and yet almost every other race copes with it without issue..." I reply.

I nod.
"I...um...I don't know what else to say," I say sadly. "Perhaps we should talk to Ore-ore while I think on this more?"

"Don't worry about it! There's no time for such things! Take too long, and you don't act at all! All I ask is that you commit to you choice with all of your heart, and do it for the right reasons. Being afraid of my sylladex is not the right reason, doing it to tame a brutal force and using your powers is. The worst state of existance is one filled with fear and uncertainy. With that in mind... Tell me again that I have nothing to worry about." I say.

I take a deep breath.
"Mystra," I say, looking her in the eye. "As Vaish told me I could on the night of my being bitten, I will tame the wolf and make its power mine to fight for good, to stop the Inverz, and to find Avacyn and restore her to power. You have nothing to worry about. I promise."

"Now that's conviction I can get behind. Spoken from the heart, like a true champion! So what are your plans then?" I say, a little bit of worry waning.

"I am not sure yet," I reply. "I feel that I'll need to work on what I'm thinking when I transform. Perhaps that will help to let me get in control over time. Normally, all I can think about is the pain and how much I wish it was over...and the hunger..."

"I mean what you will do to make sure nobody gets hurt by you." I say. "You can't just put everyone else's lives at risk while you trian youself to control this."

"I think the best plan is to be contained during the full moon," I reply. "The planeswalkers are certainly powerful enough to contain me. Or there is always the option of you tying me down..."

"Well, there's the good ol' fashioned steel cage..." I reply before walking over to Ore. I wave at her "Hail, how's your night been, you two?" I say.

"There is that," I say with a smile. "As long as you'll be there with me."
I follow her over to Ore-ore and Krin and smile at them.
