During the last Full Moon, I chose to speak with the planet itself. [ Arcueid speaks resolutely, without a hint of untruth to her words. Lying is something she has no use for. ] There are many Greater Powers channeling into it in an attempt to keep it alive.

[ Dropping to one knee before him not to exalt, but to place a hand against the ground, it seems as if she's confirming her words for herself. ]

That's why I chose to not form a pact with this world. During the next Full Moon, I'll seek it out instead. If the planet can't support a system like myself, then I'll have to protect it via reflection of the moon.
