The Goddess

---

All my friends are dead, yet Mann lives. Why did this come about, [%NAME]? Before Mann started all this, I remember he went on an expedition near the edge of the Cosmos. He returned shaken, babbling something about finding Fate's temple. I thought it was just another one of his metaphors. Now I wonder if he wasn't set on this course by some higher power? Before you leave, investigate this last mystery.

So for all his justifications, all his grand speeches on the nature of the mortal condition, Mann was just a tool, a puppet of an evil god. He was sent to bring destruction to mortals, to save the planes for elder, immortal beings. Do you think our lives are under our own control, [%NAME]? Or was all this just the plan of some higher power pulling our strings? I was less angry when I thought this happened because Mann fell into a snowdrift of crazy. That some being told him to do this because they thought it would make things better... I think I will rebuild Tau, if only to spite this Aia.
