The Prespurian Regent stands and taps on a crystal goblet, asking for everyone's attention.
"Greetings, esteemed council members. I bring important news.
In the night, I was approached by someone who has a
very good stated reason for needing the Entropy Mana. This person only requires the one, and through long discussions with this person I believe it will benefit our cause. Here's the thing- this person's identity needs to remain hidden for his own protection. His life is rather important to us all.
I know what I am about to propose requires trust. I understand I was voted the Death Mana yesterday, and for me to ask another favor of the council is pressing matters. But this is far more important than me, this is for the benefit of us all.
I offer the council the following choice:
- Trust me to hand the Entropy mana to this very important person, discreetly, by voting me the Entropy Mana.
- If you are wary of me, I offer an alternative- **Select a representative**. Someone who we agree has been acting in our best interests, someone we know cannot be a demon, someone we trust to complete the necessary task. If you believe giving me this mana is too much to ask, I understand, but this mana must be delivered discreetly to a certain VIP.
What this representative does, when chosen, is
they are voted the Entropy Mana. Then, I will reveal to this person who the VIP is who requires the Entropy Mana, and what it is being used for, what its purpose is. And then there are two of us who understand where the Entropy Mana is and why. And if any of us should fall in battle, the survivor could pass on that knowledge, just so the council knows what happened to it, in the event they have to know.
Then, our trusted representative hands the mana to this VIP, and we trust that no harm will come to this VIP.
It is vitally important, fellow council members, that the Entropy Mana reaches this VIP, because it will bring this one person 50% of the way towards a goal which has lasting, permanent benefits for
everyone here in this council who desires peace.
