My Lady,

I do not mind being called transparent, because I was not aiming to be
opaque, nor hide any of my true feelings or intentions from You in my
post. As I have stated before, I have been a Darkwalker as long as I
have been an Achaean, and I am confident in my abilities that, were I
trying to be underhanded in my words or methods, I would have suceeded,
if to no one else's knowledge than my own Bretheren. As it stands, my
only purpose for my post, which I clearly stated, was to attempt to
edify that Chaos is not a destructive force, at least not purely and
singularily destructive. I have studied Mythology, as is required by my
House, and I have closely studied Chaos' role in Creation and
Destruction.

One of my Father's teachings is that all truths are but half-truths, and
all lies are but half-lies. Nothing is absolute, not even Good, not even
Evil, and even the most faithful of followers of both will always show
characteristics of their polarities. Good can be Evil and Evil can be
Good, if either chooses to be so. My Father has taught His Children to
discuss things we feel may be only half of the story, but to do so
respectfully, as I have done with You. I will defend my former Matron,
as She has taught me many things, I only hope that You are not too proud
in Your divinity to see that even little mortals can teach You great
things.

In Darkness,
Iliana Lucoster
