Hope. Every hunter who has ventured here over the centuries has looked up to the light and imagined climbing to freedom. So easy... So simple... And like shipwrecked warlocks turning to sea water from uncontrollable thirst, many have died trying. I learned here that there can be no true despair without hope. So, as I terrorize the crucible, I will feed its people my hammers to poison their souls. I will let them believe they can survive so that you can watch them clamoring over each other to "stay in the sun." You can watch me torture the entire crucible and when you have truly understood the depth of your failure, we will fulfill the Traveler's destiny... We will destroy the crucible and then, when it is done and the crucible is ashes, then all the hunters will have my permission to die.
