Greetings, my misguided cousin.

Unfortunatly for you, the Duiran Council does not bow under the pressure
of threats. I can assure you that your burning will never come close to
the complete destruction of Ulangi and several mainland forests at the
hands of Spirokai and the Renegade Legion (though at that time they were
the Freedom Fighters of Sapience, if I recall correctly).

Even through those tough times Duiran, the Druids and the Sentinels
refused to bow to the FFoS so-called "might", we will not bow to yours.

Your biggest mistake is that your threat is as serious as you think it
is. As one who once studied under myself and Rosalind, you'll
undoubtedly recall that fires are a natural occurance, and the forests
will survive whatever damage you attempt to do to them.

Your second mistake is that you assume we'll bow to your threats - we
wont. Continue with your threats, and I'm sure you'll be able to give
Sapience's regards to the Pixie Prince and his mother.

Finally, my poor misguided cousin, your third mistake was to threaten
the Council at all. I'm sure you recall your failed attempt to save
Amelia, as well as the deaths that were involved in that. Amelia's death
was a quite unfortunate event, it is true, but the Corruption of the
natural state of the forest was worse.

Where once you also sought to purify the Morgun, you know seek to keep
it stagnant and corrupted and, ignoring your repeated burnings of the
other forests, that alone is reason enough for you to never be able to
take part in harvesting nature's bounty again. Your repeated and
uncaring burnings simply add to your list of crimes against the Council
and Nature.

Of course, being a former Benendanti, you should know that. Perhaps your
new found "friends" are the reason for your post, so I direct this to
them as well - don't bother to threaten the council. Long after your
cities and guilds have been ground into dust by the passage of time,
Duiran will still stand as Protectors of Nature and, while your actions
will be forgotten in the mists of time, and the forces Nature will run
rampant over what you call home.

Your actions might be remembered now, or in 50 years, but know for fact
that only Nature has the ability and knowledge to withstand the passing
of time, know that a change will happen that you and your homes can not
withstand, and know that you will be destroyed for your lack of
flexibility.

We will not bow to your threats, misguided Cousin, nor those of your
"allies".
