Aponi Brightmane says: Where are you going with this?
Aponi Brightmane says: I hear the "but" in your voice...
Aponi Brightmane says: Do you think his teachings are wrong?
Aponi Brightmane says: So are you going to bring this up to the elder?
Aponi Brightmane says: I suppose so. It's not silly, though, what you said.
Aponi Brightmane says: I see that thoughtful frown, Tahu.
Aponi Brightmane says: But something is on your mind, right?
Aponi Brightmane says: What about it?
Aponi Brightmane says: There's a phrase... "It's always darkest before the dawn." The dawn will come, though, Tahu. The sun will rise. The balance will shift back to where it should be.
Aponi Brightmane smiles and gestures to the north.
Aponi Brightmane says: Even on the glacier itself, the sun manages to peek through the gloom. I have hope, Tahu. I think we'll make it through this, no matter how dire it looks.
Aponi Brightmane says: But I'd still rather be there on the front lines helping it happen rather than trying to placate myself with belief. We can't just sit around and hope it happens.
Aponi Brightmane says: And through that hope, strengthen our side in the fight?
