“So
you want to help me discover how powerful I am?” Robert ponders.
“More
than that,” Tom replies, “I want to help you understand how to
control your environment, manipulate the energies of the Weave as
they flow around you.”
“Why
would you want to do that?”
“I
have a variety of reasons,” Tom tells him, “Not least of which
would be my unmitigated joy at seeing the Fears cower before you.”
“Why
would you want that?”
“There
is hierarchy in the Weave, just as there is in the Warp. In the
Weave, the Fears tower over everything, like the gods of Mount
Olympus. They bicker, constantly, but it is the rest of us that pay
the price.”
“So
you want me...?”
“...To
give them a taste of their own medicine.”
