To make this very clear - I had absolutely nothing to do with the
lifting of the curse from the Black Forest. My only part in the matter
was in response to My sister Slyphe's request to share any possible
insights on the usage of decay to stop the infestation of ants. As
Change and Corruption have a number of parallels, We have never felt the
animosity towards each Other that I share with some of My other
siblings. And as surprising as it may be, at times a Deity may come to
another Deity's aid.

What has happened in the Black Forest has happened through a combination
of chance, the efforts of Duiran, and the wisdom as well as destiny of
the Elder Trees. No single Deity can lay full claim on every aspect of
Nature. It is more than a little foolish to begin pointing fingers
towards your usual source of paranoia - Myself. I assure you, I have far
more important and relevant matters to attend to than worrying about
several ancient sprouts.

Having said this, I shall give Iggy and others such as him a warning.
Far too often, you rush to a cause, a conclusion, a decision, or a side
without ever taking the time to learn the truth at the core. This blind
ignorance is worthy of a servant of light, of course (as we know quite
well, nothing blinds as effectively as light). Yet when you choose to
take your ignorance across the threshold of Divinity, you are committing
heresy and sacrilege. You will be punished accordingly.

To Iggy and all those others who believe they can speak to a Deity as to
another mortal - awaken from your foolishness. Perhaps some of My
siblings may have tolerated that behaviour. I have no sympathy or
conscience to temper My wrath. Learn, once and for all, that the
machinations of Divinity are beyond the mortal scope. You may question a
Deity's theology, but you can never question one of Us - nor Our
actions. We are not your buddies, we are not your enemies, we are not
your pals or your friends or your arch nemeses. Leave it to Deities to
combat deities. Stay in the mortal realm, where your word carries
relevance.
