"You are very hopeless, aren't you?" The Seer looked at Immarra quietly, then at Keman. "Not as much as some, but hopeless nonetheless. I can't blame you. I would be too...

...but I'm not. Being cast out of my own personal heaven, seperated from home and family and having been considered a lost cause myself... made me realize that hope is not something that can be given or taken. It can be earned. It can be coveted. It can be kept. It can be gained. You can not walk into another's life and hand him hope, praying that he will reach out and take it. He can only see your offer, and let his own hope spring from it. I am alive because I was cast out. Because of compassion, I am no longer on Aurora, or what mangled peice of it might be left. Damuthca was right, near the end. Hope is what binds us all together. Hope and faith. Power means nothing, traps mean nothing. People and the hope that sustains them, that is what matters...

...It may be a trap to go to someone in need, but there is always hope of walking free from that trap. I am not the one to decide. These two can see far more clearly than I can, but I will not say that I would not go were I alone. The Goddess weeps for her people, and I would do anything to allow her hope to survive."
