???: ... Daniel.
???: Daniel Everdyne. But my true name is Ennoukh.
Ennoukh: Now that the mystique is wiped away I suppose You can stop using the "Unknown Entity" as my handle.
AO: We have been wondering what you would like to be called for some time now.
Ennoukh: I prefer anything else, actually. Not because I dislike my given names, but because I enjoyed how one does not know the truth, but feels they do. I like to pretend.
AO: I ask that you don't hold our paranoia against us. When lies and deceit run rampant, facts and fictions blur together. facts need to be doubted to find truth. Also if you're curious about what caused the changes within us, we can't tell you. Don't hold that against us either.
Ennoukh: .... Hehe.
Ennoukh: Let me elaborate on how I use the illusion trait. It's not so much a "power" like the other children have displayed.
Ennoukh: Alice Wilford seems to be adopting my technique as well. Tell me, why do you think I take her form?
Ennoukh: Perhaps I lied to you, and I'm really Alice Wilford from outside this universe. Maybe I took this form to do bad deeds and sour her character? Or perhaps I took this form for... No reason other than the fact that I believe imitation is the highest form of flattery and I simply admire her tenacity and determination as a fellow illusion dreamer?
Ennoukh: You can decide on which it may be, even if I tell you... You will always wonder or doubt simply because You know that my trait is illusions.
Ennoukh: It's a passive effect that simply brings itself into existence. Quite a wonder is it not? You have every right to be paranoid.
AO: For the sake of clarity, to call us "ancients" because we exist before your time would be no different from saying "because f(x)=x+1 will always have higher numbers than f(x) it can therefore be considered to be after." this is a fallacious statement because both timelines are infinite and therefore are simultaneously before and after each other, even if ours just so happened to beget yours. the nature of beings from two different universes doesn't imply we are in any way gods or flawless. it would be disingenuous to suggest otherwise.
Ennoukh: Forgive my outdated line of thought! How rude of me to assume You had many years of life simply because the elders knew You exist.
Ennoukh: So I am to believe You're children driving this madness?
Ennoukh: I mean, if You're caught up on terms, I suspect priorities to be quite low. You should not have assumed Your title as the formless voice from the aether to be "ancient" in years of life, but in timespan of existence in my universe.
Ennoukh: I've already judged you as being young by the tone you take when you speak as well as the indecisiveness in whether to take me as a friend, associate or enemy. This only confirms this.
Ennoukh: My guess is you all have no idea who came before you and likely never will.
Ennoukh: But since you're here now I guess it's my turn to receive the great wisdom of the "ancients"! Hehehe...
Ennoukh: You say your stake in this is to see these children live long and healthy lives?
Ennoukh: I will step aside.
Ennoukh: In return, we will have some sort of... Understanding.
Ennoukh: That is, you work with them to leave me alone. I told you before, I know things....
Ennoukh: The end is clear and I do not like it.
Ennoukh: Knowing all this... what say you?

1. Help Ennoukh
2. Deny help
