glad I could help with Veda's possible new role - he fits the Krona persona now in our canon.. having a character like Krona is important because it allows us to re-introduce ideas from older canon while still firmly "resetting" things : it also puts Veda in the same paradox that beings like Krona have (pursuing an impossible goal no matter what (because every time Veda tries to wake the Dreamer he is doomed to simply start a new Dream for all of eternity.. this paradox is also what the Abysm has stuck itself in, making the two share a common trait.. both want to end the Dream (for different reasons) but cannot (or will not) grasp the impossibility of their quests.. since to wake the Dreamer is simply not possible.. as soon as you do you cease to exist.. only to return again when Dreamer goes right back to sleep in less than a second after ever "waking" ).

Abysm wants to return to nothingness because it is the very first, the absolute nothing from which Dreamer first.. well.. dreamed.. such a state of existence can never exist again.. as soon as Dreamer formed it was over.. the very act of Dreamer being "there" destroyed the nothingness and once created a "thing" can never be "nothing" again (yay for mind-boggling metaphysics).

"to become part of the Dream is pointless, we already are.. a true god does not seek to be part of the Dreamer.. we already are.. it is wasteful.. yet I suppose you already know this.. yet you've gone too far, spent too long.. yes.. you know it to be impossible.. yet you cannot let it be so.. I can relate to that.. just be careful - you know what they say about staring to long into the Abyss.. sometimes.. it stares back." ~ Misery
