[The recent Heartless invasion and Maleficent's arrival has had Saleh thinking. It's had other people thinking as well, he was sure of that.]

The Heartless invasion has been repelled, and we have emerged victorious. Well done, everyone.

[Yes, he's speaking to everyone, whether he's met them or not.]

Some people may still have doubts. Some will try to convince us that the light cannot save us. Whether to believe such claims is questionable. Though I speak only for myself, consider this...

I follow my own heart more than anything. That is what empowers me, the desire to protect what I hold dear in my heart. Even if the light should fail, I would still follow my heart. Only if my heart is lost will everything be lost.

Darkness is deceiving. Even the light can be difficult to see at times. Regardless, I will go where my heart leads me.

[Just something to consider is all.]

How many times do I have to tell you? The light is powerless, give it up and come over to the winning side.

[Video]

[mountain_sage]

And what benefit is there to join the other side?

[Yeah, just "winning" isn't good enough.]

[Video]

[styx_and_stones]

Maleficent said it, didn't she? Do you really think that King will want to release your worlds once he has brought them all here? Nah, he'll keep them, and you will be his grateful little subjects for the rest of time!
Nah, the only way to get your worlds back is by understanding the darkness.

[Video]

[mountain_sage]

I doubt that Maleficent's word is any more trustworthy than yours.

She said she would only spare those whom she finds "useful." I am not looking to be "used" for her schemes.

[Not to mention, she's just an extremely shady figure in general.]

[Video]

[styx_and_stones]

It's the same for the mouse. Don't think it isn't. He would only 'help' people he found useful too.

[Video]

[mountain_sage]

I've no reason to believe that, Hades. The king has recovered one of the worlds from the darkness. He has proven that he is fighting for our cause.

On the other hand, what exactly have you done for us aside from causing trouble?

[Video]

[styx_and_stones]

A little prank here and there, come on, are you really going to hold that against a guy? Really?

Using the darkness you could actually GO to the world you came from instead of waiting for the King to capture it and bring it here as a prisoner.

[Video]

[mountain_sage]

There is a difference between a prank and attacking innocent people.

Your claim makes no sense. The king should not have to fight the darkness to "capture" a world.

[Video]

[styx_and_stones]

Semantics! The bottom line is you won't get anywhere without the darkness. It's about time you hero-types figured that out.

And you're right he shouldn't be fighting the darkness to capture worlds, that is the whole point! Pulling worlds in close to each other, worlds that should never be in the same system let alone interacted with each other, is throwing the balance off more than it is helping! It is only increasing his area of influence, giving that rodent King more power, what? You think he is helping? He has you hero-types completely fooled.

[Video]

[mountain_sage]

[This is just getting really old really fast.]

The darkness cannot be trusted. I've seen the harmful effects firsthand, how it corrupts the soul. It is not a risk I am willing to take.

[Video]

[styx_and_stones]

[You hero-types never know what is good for you!]

Alright, fine, we won't be able to come too a deal today. We will revisit this topic, some time in the very near future. I'm sure you will come to see things my way.

[Video]

[mountain_sage]

Revisit it as many times as you like; my stance on this matter will not change.

It's better to follow your heart, then what others say. I think I can understand that.

[video]

[mountain_sage]

Indeed. Regardless of what others say, it is up to you to decide what to believe.

[video]

[exsistingismysin]

That's right and that's how I've always been, except when I have to work with someone.

[video]

[mountain_sage]

How is it different when you have to work with someone?

[video]

[exsistingismysin]

Because a while back I had no choice.

[And because he had to be kept secret at the time.]

[video]

[mountain_sage]

What will you do here? Will you work with others who share the same goal? Or only because you have no choice.

[The latter doesn't really sound like following his heart...]

[video]

[exsistingismysin]

Here I've been following what I wanted to do, not what others told me to do.

[Break wasn't here to say otherwise.]

[darkslayer]

Careful. The light is known to blind those who stare into it too deeply.

[voice]

[mountain_sage]

Then I shall not stare too deeply.

[voice]

[darkslayer]

So you'll depend instead on your heart. [There's derision in every word.] Human hearts are weak and corruptible.

[voice]

[mountain_sage]

Corruptible, perhaps. But we can overcome our weaknesses.

[voice]

[darkslayer]

Foolish delusions of strength won't save you from the inevitable.

[voice]

[mountain_sage]

Nothing is "inevitable." The outcome will not be known until it is reached.

[Video]

[purestmadness]

[he claps, smirking behind his hair.]

I hope it's quick to lead you to the Darkness.

[Video]

[mountain_sage]

I don't think so. My heart would never lead me to darkness.
