[ Dion weighs that thought. Their first responsibility is to their own worlds; that goes without saying. It does strike him as strange, however, to bring them to a world fated to meet its demise for no other purpose than to prove some point. Were they capable of averting that fate, surely Aurora would have conveyed as much to them.

Perhaps this is the fate of a world with no worthy champion... Or none willing to fight for it.

[ If the universe is so vast, it's curious to him that so few of them are selected for this. And if that really is what this all is, then why him? Why not any more worthy soul? Dion only finds himself with more questions the longer he thinks on the circumstances, and he has little by way of answers. ]

But I suspect there must be some vital difference we've yet to understand, one way or another.

[ Otherwise, why would they not be instructed to help these people? ]
