Hmph!
I have done nothing, even now, to harm you.
Oh, yes, perhaps there are casualties. There always are. But it is no fault of ours that you humans live on that which we must destroy.
It is Hers, of course, but we do not blame you for such passive acts either. No.
Nor did we target you. We are targeting the land, all that dared bind us, and we are ensuring that no such dark fate might befall a god again. There is power, here, and we aim to destroy it. We do not aim to crush insects, but should they stand in our way, we will not hold back from harming them, either. And should they irritate us, we will remove the irritant.
You would have been free to leave - to take your lives elsewhere, perhaps even taking the berries you salvaged and starting a farm that is truly yours - but you did not. Perhaps you even chose not to.
But do not claim that you are defending anything. The casualties must surely continue, even now, and you are doing nothing for them. You stand, one amongst thirty, waiting for your chance to fight us, but you do not even attempt to reduce harm to - well - anything.
Do you not see, human? Look around you. Look beneath you. Do you know why we are here, in the sky? We have lured Her out, even if She brought with Her a swarm, and indeed, we will have our revenge. But the destruction of the land? It has not stopped. It will not stop, even as you throw all you have against us.
Have you heeded Her warnings, human? She has revealed it Herself, that any one of these meteors might normally destroy you, if She had not granted you protection such that you might better shield Her. If She is not content with you, you see, if you do not fight as She wills it, She will simply revoke this protection, and it will be enough to destroy you.
She has not granted this protection to the land beneath.
The destruction continues, human! No matter what you do, Asber will be annihilated. Buildings and forests and outposts alike collapse under the cleansing flames. Do you think this little effort of yours will stop that?
If there is anything you wish to protect, the only way you might do so would be to take it and flee.
You might be struck by a meteor, then, but hazards are a natural thing in this world. We would not stand in your way. We would not prevent you from reaching your freedom.
We are not that cruel.
