“And I think about the future constantly. I worry about what path my people will have to walk to stay alive. I fear what your people are planning to do to mine and how our numbers have already dwindled. The joining of our peoples was supposed to stem the flow of hatred that always leads us back to war. And without the binding, my powers are limited to what I now know how to do. If we are at war again, I won’t be able to heal as many people as I’ll need to.”
