[Wixern]

BSN listened as Nathan spoke. As he finished, she spoke.

'I'm sorry, Nathan, but I cannot be so optimistic. I'm sure R.I.S.E would make this battle go easier, but what happens afterwards? If it continues to exist, it will be certain to fall. Greed, corruption and lust will always ruin the best of organizations. Sooner or later, someone will abuse his power. And others will follow.' BSN said sourly. She went on, not sure why she was even speaking of this.

'Adventurers rarely band together, and even then only temporarily. They don't organize, or control. They work on their own cause. If they have a mutual cause, then they might work together, but they will always leave later, or even worse, backstab. Rigt now, we're facing enormous numbers, and powerful enemies. We have a common enemy, but no goals. I'm afraid that even R.I.S.E won't be able to fight Burning Hell.'

BSN looked at Wixern, who was fiddling with his revolver.
'Besides... I want those odds. A fight of thousand to thousand is no fight, none at all. A real fight is winning, standing back to back with the one you trust, against unsurmountable odds. At least... that's what I've always believed.'
