I can't believe in such a being on principle. If the coral's power isn't harnessed just so, I will be dead as soon as I leave this world, and with me dies my people's last hope of survival.

[Dhaos vanishes, only to reappear behind Ky.]

I refuse to believe he exists, for if he would allow the slow, agonizing deaths of a planet and everything on it... I could not but hate him.
