All must be One

Already, I am insulted. You imply that we are subject to forces greater than our own? How spiteful. Have you not learned that your little laws of life and death hold no sway on our world?

My foes assume that merely because my greatest conquests were made in the shining light of the suns that I am incapable of fighting from the shadows. They assume I am weak, and unwilling. Yet I need not act because there is no threat to me. The ones that stand against me can exist only in the shadows, only in hiding. None will dare stand openly against me. And in that, I have already won.

((OH BOY OH BOY. FAITH AND BELIEF IS LITERALLY THE FOUNDING CORNERSTONE OF NORN'S BEING AND IT IS SOMETHING SHE STRUGGLES WITH NEARLY CONSTANTLY. not that anyone ever knows of course. the orthodoxy must remain strong. but literally existential crises over the nature of phyrexia and the multiverse is a struggle constantly and its one of her deepest fears, that everything she has built up and believes in is wrong.))

((I mean, you can't just utterly disassemble and destroy your underlings when they fail to deliver results, or attempt to argue. It wouldn't be clean. But there has been many a time when Elesh has had to resist the temptation))

((It's strange, all of Norn's most pressing flaws are pretty grand, it's hard to think of minor things. Though, I imagine subtle plays of power are very very much part of Norn's dig. Stuff like always getting the last word in a discussion, abruptly shutting off others, things like that to ensure that she is in charge))

I will not fall. I am the will of Phyrexia manifest. Is this to demoralize me? Your words are laughable, and pathetic.
