When everything falls into place...

Lads,
This campaign has influenced every one of us in ways that are difficult to explain. I think for a lot of you your characters are in a way going through what you as individuals are going through in the outside world. I was chatting to Nurit today and realised that strangely, or maybe not so strangely, the case is the same with me.
Remember how bad DeLight felt before the raid on Armand's mansion? I was feeling the same way this week. Some of you noticed that DeLight was removed from the storyline just at the same time when Eli started the 'guidance' debate and we decided to 'reduce the degree of guidance'. No more guiding light.
The truth is I'm going through the same thing DeLight is going through. He has tapped into some force, something all-encompasing, and he gets visions of what's to come. He has a feeling about how things are going to come together in the end. But being the industrious person he is, he finds it hard to believe in the Light. He feels that he has to make his visions come true and he rarely trusts anyone or anything to do it for him. He doesn't trust the Light. Right now this has gotten him stuck firmly in the ground with no way out. All he can do is sit it out and think about it.
I'm much the same. I have visions of how the campaign would resolve, of how things come together in the end. I have certain insights about it I can't explain. But the problem so far was that like DeLight, I didn't trust anyone but myself to take us there. As this campaign became more and more important something in me began to fear the possibility it won't come out right and so I tried to do everything in my power to make it happen the way I've seen it in these visions.
Now I see I misinterpreted these visions. It's time for me, and DeLight, to start believing more deeply in this force that puts everything into place - and to trust you. I see now there is not one storyteller but four storytellers, four players, who are weaving this story. You play your characters; I play the World. But there is something greater than the sum of us four, some sort of synergy that is driving us forward, towards the unknown destiny that we see only in dreams.

- The Storyteller.
