Which one would be the most dangerous, my dear elf?

Perhaps you'd say it's Sysseryk of the South, who can fly so swiftly and so silently your house would be ablaze before you realized you'd wronged her.

Maybe you'd claim it's Wekanort of the West, the Labyrinth the protects and shields his subjects for their lifetimes, even if they didnt want to join his citizenry when they opened his massive stone doors.

Or mayhaps you think Ektorn of the East is strongest? The kraken that could uproot an island and use it to club any invading forces so they join her treasures in the deepest depths of the roiling seas.

I think not. Nervet of the North is the biggest threat.

I can hear your protests, my dear elf. After all, he's a small creature. Only as tall as you, little elf, and waifishly thin. At least, according to the stories. But, they also tell many tales of his strength and cunning.

Would Wekanort be able vanish into the shadows and thrust a knife into your ribcage while you arent looking? I think not, when's the last time you lost track of a living mountain?

Could Ektorn blend into a crowd and become just another part of the scenery? Or, for that matter, change his appearance enough to hide his identity? I don't think so. How many other 150 foot kraken do you know of?

And then we come to Sysseryk. Sure, she can fly. Her breath can melt any metal. Her teet could snap a redwood in half. But her temper? Pah. She couldn't keep her cool if she lived in a tundra.

No, for my money it's Nervet that's deadliest. Who else could be anywhere and everywhere? Can look like anyone, or anything? Only Nervet.

My, my. Such brave words, little elf. But I can hear the tremble in your voice. Ah, don't be ashamed. Even the other immortals are afraid of Nervet, after all.

Ha. I know that, dear elf, because **I am** Nervet.
