As Faxul stood in the cave, frozen, with the sound of the waterfall behind him, he didn't know what to think.
Daneel had accomplished all those wonders with the help of a stone podium like this one?
At this moment, Faxul had a choice.
He could play it completely safe-he could contact his best friend, ask him if what the podium was saying was true, and consider what to do next.
If it really was true, maybe Daneel might even share whatever he had obtained
But…why hadn't he done that yet?
The other choice was to step ahead and explore this by himself, so that he could find out more before taking a decision.
As someone who had never hesitated to take risks on the path to power to accomplish what he wanted, Faxul considered both choices very seriously.
Before, his motivation had been to obtain revenge for his parents' death. That singular motivation had led him to take the risk with that technique to grow stronger, even though his friend had strongly advised against it.
