Dear Sister,

I have not forgotten anything in regard to the Prince of Cowardly Acts,
Slith, or anything that he has done to Myself or My family over the
years. I do remember that You offered to assist My son in any way, and I
thanked You then as I do now for that generous statement. Would You care
to reply then on how many times after that day My army has attacked your
shrines, or killed Your members? Never. If you will look at the current
conflict you will see that members of other Orders have already assisted
in defiling My shrines, but have we lashed out at them in a fit of rage?
No. You see this is not simply a War for the sake of Wars, but rather
focused solely on those responsible for attacking My family. I have
named the aggressors to the Church, and should they choose to act on
that, then we will no longer need to fear escalation. Do you simply
think I pulled these three names from the air? Would I not have named
the Archprelates or other ranking Church members if I truly wished to
cause turmoil for Your group? I have provided the names of two
insignificant members and the leader of the Elysians, whom seems to be
the figurehead for what Your organization has become. This is your
chance, My dear, to purge yourself of those who only draw Your enemies
together instead of unifying the cause of Good.

I have heard the rumours that Slith possesses me, and My followers had a
decent chuckle from this. They and the Keresians know far too well what
I am like when possessed as Slith too attacked me personally nearly a
decade ago, and assure you that is not the current situation. Why, dear
sister, would I post publicly and draw attention to Myself, rather than
finish off Pandemonium in secrecy? He currently resides in My temple,
and I could simply close the gates off and end His existence, could I
not? Feel free, dear sister, to visit Him in His location and you will
see it is just as accessible today as it ever was. Gaze upon what the
attack by Slith did to My son, and then perhaps you will comprehend why
I will defend My wife and daughter to My death. I have spoken to nearly
all who have approached Me on the subject, and My soldiers know to keep
their focus only on those whom we have already targeted. To this point,
no shrines of Yours, our sister Miramar, or our sister Lorielan have
been touched by anyone in My army or service. Would I not simply kill
everything, if I was truly on a murderous rampage? Would My soldiers not
be slaughtering everyone, rather than following the Rules of Engagement
as laid out before them?

So, Dear Sister, I believe the only one confused and lost in this would
be You. You defend the Elysians, but in the end it will be You that sees
which side is truly at fault. I thank those Church members who wished to
discuss their views on Chaos with me, but the time for discussion is
over. There was a time for that years ago, but it was ignored, thinking
instead that I would do nothing in response. So be it, watch My soldiers
"do nothing" then, as they defile the Elysians to the ground. If the
Church steps in, so be it, but to sign the death of so many for the
faults of three individuals is foolhardy. This will be the last I speak
on this subject, so either you remove the trio from Church service, or
we proceed to the next stage of conflict.

We will enjoy this.

Aegis, God of War
