"There is a fine line between well intended guidance and mentorig and needless harassment. The creation merely requires a push in the right direction. Attempting to shield it from the world causes more harm than help." Jason said calmly. "For example, my father was the Emperor before me. He was pretty good, no one complained about his jurisdiction. So, you could say he was a fairly decent ruler. I was once accused of government sponsered terrorism and war crimes, should he be held responsible, despite the fact that I was the suspect?"

"And if something arises that threatens the well-being of that creation," Celeste answered as she glanced over her shoulder, "it then becomes the Creator's responsibility to protect its creation."

"Have you ever done a Mage's Challenge, Mr. Chris?" the girl asked innocently as she munched on one of the cookies.

*South Pole* "Why no, I haven't," he said as he ate on a cookie himself.

"Do you know what it is?" the little girl continued.

Jason rolled his eyes. "Give me a break. If that was your intention, you wouldn't be bitching about me, or the other girls, or the little guy. You'd be saying "how can I help". Is she threatening Earth's well being?" He said, pointing to Star. "Is he threatening Earth's well being?" He pointed to Chris. "Am I threatening Earth's well being? No! And furthermore, the "creation" has to learn to fight his own battles! If you're SO concerned about Earth's well being, then why the hell did you make it? A child get's cuts and scrapes, it's how they learn. Machines break down every now and then, it's inevietable. Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. Murphy's Law. Look it up sometime after you finish cradling your "creations" in bubble wrap."

*South Pole* Mage's challenge, what would a mage risk, life, money, power most likely, cause everyone likes power with powerful people its harnessed quite often so it has to be for power. "A duel between mages, for power if I'm not mistaken."

"We allow the Carbons freedom to develop culturally and such as they will," Celeste answered, "but there are certain limits that must be maintained, less their world becomes unbalanced and eventually leads to the destruction of their species. That is why we step in at times, and that is why we step in now. I do not expect you to understand things beyond your kin, such would be an unfair expectation of you, but please understand that this is beyond your kin, and thus, you do not understand enough to be as adequate a judge of our actions as you believe yourself to be." She said all this in a very calm manner, not condescending, rude or in anger. It seemed like she was simply trying to explain something.

Jason frowned. "I will say this once. Listen close. You are not God, you are not the Talon, you are not omnipotent, omniscient, or omnipresent. Stop acting like you are." The necrival whirled around. "Well, if you two ladies have got your problems with me and everything else in general off your chest, when the hell do we start getting rid of these guys?"

"You would be mistaken there, as well, Necrival," Celeste answered him simply.
*South Pole*
Nira nodded as she munched and sipped. "Two mages battle using only their magic and their magic alone. The winner gets all the magic power of the loser and the loser becomes the servant of the winner until the winner chooses to allow the loser free of his or her servitude."

Jason let out a long, rattling sigh. "I am not even gonna bother. It seems everyone I meet today has a problem with me being here." He looked at Marsha. "Maybe I should go... it seems everyone here is in consensus that this isn't my problem." He said, waving an arm at everyone else.

Star held out her hand. "Jason, I'm sorry. I misunderstood what you meant when you mentioned this planet was of interest to an empire. I didn't mean to offend you. It just sounded so ... well ... not very good."

Jason shrugged and accepted the hand. "Apology accepted. I guess prolonged exposure to those guys would make you suspicous." He said, waving a hand back at Celeste.

*South Pole* "Hmm, what happens if one 'cheats' by attacking physically, exactly?"
