[Solus stops for a moment, keeping his eyes on Iceheart while his hand rests on her head. He mulls it over...but figures what would it truly hurt? After all, Estinien has proven quite the ally thus far, and he'd rather people know the truth. It's tiresome always being seen as the villain of the tale, when by rights he isn't. Painted as such with the brush of ignorance.]

While it is true we do indeed sow seeds of chaos by the perception of you mortals, our goal is rather the opposite. We endeavor to bring back the established order of reality—to rejoin the thirteen shards with the Source, so that all of existence may be made whole again.

[He looks to Estinien, his expression contemplative.]

In order for the Rejoining to occur, we must needs produce calamities—each marks a rejoining of a single shard. As a man of the source, that means your soul is seven-times rejoined, a far denser soul than the weak and sickly souls of those from the shards.

My duty is righting the wrongs of our broken reality, so that the natural order may yet come to be once more.
