"If this fails?"
Adam's voice cut through the dim stillness like a blade, low and even.
Celestia's needles paused for the first time in minutes. The yarn twitched between her fingers, but her face remained calm.
"Then we move to the next plan."
She said, threading another loop.
"We use the Prophet."
Adam's eyes narrowed.
"Leila?"
Celestia nodded once.
"Obviously, who else?"
He frowned.
"You want to pit Leila against Elaric? Or is there something she can do that'll help us gain advantage?"
Celestia didn't deny it.
"There is. But it's not a physical confrontation, nor will we be able to help once she's against him."
Her tone shifted, becoming almost reverent.
"Leila is a unique stream hunter capable of foresight. She is the only person alive whose very presence destabilizes the assumptions that omniscience relies on."
Adam's skepticism was immediate.
"Doesn't his omniscience ability allow him to see through things? How do you plan to challenge that?"
