'The Purple Lady is my mentor, true,' says the Priestess, smiling and loosening her robe, 'But I haven't embraced her teachings to be like her; it's quite the opposite. My own belief in love led me to respecting her wisdom. Demon Gods do not demand anyone's worship. They're a force of chaos, both good and evil, but they seek peers, not slaves. The Earth wasn't always nice to us, humans. No; she is a harsh mother, and we became whom we are only through endless conflict and adversity. Predators, who hunted us, made us stronger. And here we are, on the brink of cosmic understanding; the Shadowmasters represent struggle, and our progress towards it. The Star Gods, our stasis and extinction.'
