=~FEAR NOT-=

~Fear not.

-We won't hurt you. Stand up. Look at us.

~Behold our fourfold arms, our sightless gaze, the crests of our heads. Are we not shaped as the angels of scripture?

-We are Nergantul and Adzekkul. Messengers for the gods, who in our speech from which yours evolved are called Nurgath and Azzak.

~You may call me the wise man.

-You may call me the cunning man.

~You called us, and we came.

-Your people are threatened. Your nation is in peril. You want us to help. Isn't that right?

~We cannot. Not directly. That is beyond our remit.

-Hush. We didn't say we /wouldn't/ help. Listen.

~There is power within you, within your people. It is vast, yet untapped, for you have never had the knowledge to tap it.

-We'll teach you how to unlock that potential. We'll give you the secret, and you'll take the secret back to your people, and your people will use the secret to kill the Da'mir.

~Listen to us, Makann.

-This is what you have to do.
