There are a lot of things I don't know until I Know them. I didn't contact you to start a petty argument, though. Nick legitimately thinks Alessandro is going to hurt you. Please disabuse him of that notion before he gets himself hurt.
You told me you were an avatar of the Web while I hadn't had sleep in two weeks and was delusional. I've managed to keep my mouth shut for months, Lilith. If I sent him after you, I wasn't in my right mind when I did it. I'm sorry.
Two weeks without sleep. Delusional. You bloody well encouraged it.
I've protected your precious little coven after what they've done to me. I haven't told Alessandro who else has cursed me. He wouldn't even entertain a provision in our contract not to murder people who hurt me unless I ask him to. So, he'll remain unaware of your associates. Believe it or not, I don't want you people dead. I just want you to leave me alone. And yes, the irony when I've contacted you. This is the last time, Lilith. Warn Nick to stop being an idiot. My boyfriend likes him.
I doubt that this will be the last time. Whilst you're a predator, a danger to others here you're an unfortunate interest. Unless you'd like to confess more about it, to tell me how to stop it.
It's a malevolent eyeball fear entity on another plane of existence. I don't know how to stop it outside of me just ceasing to exist. And even then, the Archivist is just one manifestation of it. I'm a hand for the Beholding. At most. I'm nothing like the whole of it and I'm not the first Archivist. I very much doubt I'll be the last.
I expect you would have liked my predecessor, though. She's probably more the sort of person you'd get on with. Vicious, shrewd, focused, never panicking. The monsters were afraid of her, not the other way around.
You're making an assumption that it's not whole. Lilith, it doesn't need me. People fear being watched, followed. They just do. Ordinary people who have never been touched by the supernatural. In a place like this where we're all being watched constantly by LIEs? I shouldn't wonder if it was here and feeding well before I was. A part of me wonders if someone at LIEs might not have been influenced by it.
You're not doing anything to the Eye itself when you do things to me. I don't think it can even feel anything like pain. If your goal is to stop the Eye, I can't help you because I have literally no idea how. If your goal is to just stop me? Congratulations. I was already trying to stop before you stuck your nose into it.
If it was here our situation would be worth than it is. It wouldn't need you. You can't stop. You haven't as much as you'd claim so. But you can be stopped, mortal or not as can it. It's not the most powerful entity either.

I never claimed to be an avatar. That was your assumption.

You may not be the whole of it but stopping the part we have will prevent it from becoming whole. There is a way.

And the Eye might not be the most powerful, no.
But it's more powerful than you gave it credit for, isn't it?
