That is a conclusion I have reached as well. The Fox's power is absolute here and I see no answer as to how to prevent her from simply calling us back again should we escape. I fear efforts to ward against such a force would be ineffective.
[ One might argue the cracks caused by the Sundering likely made it far easier for the Fox to get into the metaphorical hen house that is Etheirys and from there Time would have been nothing to one that seemed as powerful as this entity. Elidibus will certainly not do so on such meager hypotheticals. ]
I will not hide from you my desire and intent to escape, should the opportunity present itself. And if you are able to uncover any clues about this realm or her existence, I would be grateful for them. You may take them as a request from Elidibus, if you desire. But know with whatever you say, I will do my utmost to respect your choice whether to remain or be free of this binding.
If it is framed as a request from the Emissary, then I can hardly refuse.
Not that I would have deliberately held information from you.
As for myself... I have nowhere else to go save for back to the Star, and despite my current situation... I find myself unwilling to hurry along to that end just yet.
I admit I can imagine no other place than our Star that I should be. Though I would fear my patience while I must wait for a chance to return may not easily keep apace to your own.
[ But then they are not quite the same types of patience are they? Elidibus has become singularly focused on his duty. So much so that anything which stands athwart it must not be allowed to continue. ]
It seems I will not want for those to with whom I might trust to compare my findings then. Thank you, Hythlodaeus.
