You see Kalodan, Druid of the Stag shout, "Daganev! You call the
Glomdoring
healthy. You call it strong. Kalo no say it is unhealthy, or weak. Kalo
say it
is SICK. One can be Sick, and never know it! Or one can be sick, and
think
they've got every little bug and disease in existance. STRENGTH is a
city
matter - so is Heatlh. Kalo wants the Forests to LIVE - Sick Gloriana
seems
obsessed with denying death, and keeping things alive when they should
not. You
pollute my friends - YOU POLLUTED LEPRECHAUN. HE'S SICK, AND BOUND IN
SHADOWS
KALO KNOWS IT HE'S IN THAT SICK FOREST! The Gloriana CRIES from the
sickness
and disease you force upon it. Strong, weak, it does not matter - it may
thrive, but so can a man laden with diseases. You're sick. A man could
become
so diluded in his belief that he is strong, he cannot see his own
wounds. You
have all become so deluded in your disease and illness that you cannot
see it
anymore. You're broken, just like Viravain. But Kalo knows, Mother Moon
can
help Heal. It was why the communes were formed. It was why the
Aquamancers were
formed. We sought to cleanse the lands of the Touch, the Sickness, the
Disease.
You seek only to spread it, and call it power. Kalo would not sacrifice
a
single tree before it's time came for power. Kalo would not sacrifice a
single
tree, nor a forest. Not for a city. But Kalo knows those trees would die
to
help Heal ALL of you... Can't you see it?

But, Kalo doesn't mind, see. Kalo doesn't hate you.. He just hates this
illusion of Glomdoring. Kalodan hates everyone and everything - he
thinks life is a horrible creation, and often wishes it destroyed. So
Kalo only listens sometimes. But Kalo knows Kalodan is right - the
Gloriana is Sick. And, one day, Cousin, Kalo won't be ashamed of you.
Kalo isn't now - he just pities you. Kalo wonders why you call yourself
a commune. Communes were formed with the intent of cleansing the Basin,
and Kalo wonders how disease can kill disease. When Kalo sees a fire, he
doesn't think "WHERE'S KALO'S TORCH?!". That is, unless Kalo left it
there a few minutes before. Then Kalo just feels bad. But then Kalo sees
a butterfly and that moment's over.

Kalo looks at Gloriana, and sees Sick. Kalo doesn't want to fight the
Sick with Sick. Kalo wants to Heal the Sick. So, please, don't be the
torch Kalo forgots about - unless your Healing is going to be the
Butterfly.

Kalo and Kalodan - the more Fae than Ling Faeling.
