Truthfully, a healthy mixture of respect and wariness is necessary when considering the Void. Aslan has seen it himself, been far closer than he likely should have been only months ago. For someone like him who rarely experiences anything like fear or uncertainty, it was difficult even for him to cope. The onslaught of terror from simply being near it was...overwhelming.
It's unfortunate so little time was available to attempt to move Mount Verla. had the Void not been so close, the group that volunteered to save it might have fared better.
Aslan has see many destructive forces in his time -- the endings and beginnings of many worlds, but the sheer magnitude of the Void is something he had yet to encounter for himself...until his arrival here.
Itempas's comments are met with a solemn nod.
"It is my understanding that the Void is the mechanism by which all life and worlds will be reborn. As the drabwurld reaches the end of its lifespan, the Void consumes that much more."
A simple process, really. Horrific, to those who must live through such times and witness them, but the life always fights to preserve itself. Even when it must first pass away in order to be made new.
"It is unusual."
Aslan does agree with that. He also considers it ironic, and perhaps fitting, that those responsible for the creation and balance of their respective worlds would be in possession of these shards.
"While we are here, it is, however, the only link we have to the world we left behind. Should that links be severed, if no other shardbearers from that world are present, it will be forfeit."
