You can Feel the Crimson King smile with amusement, you are not certain but it almost makes your skin crawl.
<To be more than human is; at the same time to be less. We are warriors, but we must also be saviours. Our ultimate goal is self solemnisation, for when our task is successful and peace, not war reigns in the galaxy, our usefulness will be ended and with it us too.>
This strikes a cord in what remains of, or what can be called your soul. But the answer is clear for a change "so I am lesser and greater" you state.
<You know no fear> Magnus replies <that means that there are other things that you will also never know.>
"Will this lack of knowledge on my part hinder us?" You ask as any loss of knowledge stings and is unacceptable.
<No, not in any truly crucial way, it may make some things difficult but in all it is an assets more so than a detriment> Magnus states. <Your lack of fear is one of the reasons why you are not easily overwhelmed by the warp or twisted by its vastness to do so as you were before would have destroyed your mind with the enormity of the feat you would be trying to accomplish.>
"So there is nothing to be gained from attempting to make contact?" You query.
There is a pause before Magnus answer <No there is much to be gained even if you are refused for your troubles. Reaching the heart of her domain where she dwells is a feat unto itself and will provide you with invaluable experience. Experience that you will need in the future at some point. Though you can always wait but when you attempt to go later it may be already too late.>
You are not certain how to think of that, while the Crimson King has yet to mention any gains for himself, he has not mentioned any loss for himself. He is deliberately leaving you at an impasse as to whether you should attempt the trials as he puts it or leave it for later. Also what does he mean by too late? Does the Crimson King mean that you will be too far gone or that the knowledge you could obtain be incompatible with you?
[] I wish to make this attempt, there is much to be gained and you said it would prove invaluable.
[] I can wait for later when I am more trained.
