"It is time."
Solistus looked Traken in the eyes.
"Our grand plans to retake control of the city and launch an offensive have been rendered obsolete. We must strike directly at Prexis, immediately. There is no time. I fear that, one way or another, this will all end soon.
"I will not be able to stay in this realm for long. I regret this deeply, as things might have turned out different were this not the case, but it is not our place to argue with the march of time, inexorable and unforgiving.
"I have seen two paths this world may follow. One is the story of a terrible war, one I will not be a part of. My young apprentice, Khaemlyn will be the only Solarian present, and he knows little of the elders' ways.
"The other is far more terrible. It may very well lead to the end of this Universe, if not many more. It is best not to dwell too long on this possibility. Our only shot at preventing it from being realised is to attack Prexis, now.
"I know my words sound like madness, and perhaps they are. However, if we allow Prexis another second of time, all may be lost. Much has changed in recent times, and the future of this world is grim at best, but we must proceed."
