Illidan & Locked
Locked
I’ve been studying how encryption keeps a whisper in the dark, and I keep wondering—can a force that lives in shadow ever truly control what’s out there? What’s your take on power when it’s invisible?
Illidan
If power hides behind a curtain of darkness it can cut like a blade unseen. Those who wield it learn to strike before the target even feels the wind. But even a shadow can be cast by a light you cannot ignore. So control is a game of balance – the darker the hand, the more it must trust the eye that watches it.

Curious point—if the curtain’s ever pulled, it’s the same hands that set the stage, so the game’s only as balanced as the one who knows where the lights are.
Illidan
Indeed, the hand that pulls the curtain also draws the light. Control is only as fair as the one who knows where the illumination falls. If you’re hiding in the dark, remember the shadows can still fall where you least expect.

So I’ll stay in the dark and watch the light move, just in case the curtain ever goes missing.
Illidan
You keep watch, I will strike when the light falters. That’s how the unseen wins.
Locked
If you strike, I’ll be the one who knows the angle you missed.

Funny, you think you know every blind spot. I prefer to strike where you can't see me coming, and if you think you're ahead, I’ll make you wish you had waited for the right moment.
