“The most powerful force in the universe is Love!” Green Emerald announced grandiosely. “I won’t loose.”
“No,” said Wiseman dryly, “it really isn’t.”
“It’s what Sailor Moon claims as her power. My love is just as strong as hers.”
“That may be. It works out well enough for her because she’s the Messiah in a very optimistic setting. It doesn’t do anyone else much good.”
“Like who?”
“Didn’t help Beryl much or Zoisite or Kouan or Petz and Sapphire really is a useless whiner.”
“Love isn’t real when it becomes obsession.” Unlike hers for Prince Diamond.
“It didn’t do Seiya or Tomoe much good.” All verb tenses were equally valid when you were a time traveler.
“What is the source of strength then?”
“I’m gonna say power,” the hooded man said lightly. “You know what power equals? Power. Power equals power. If you don’t think everything can be solved with power, then you don’t have enough of it or enough imagination.”
“Can you give me that then? If not, stop wasting my time.” She flipped her hair contemptuously.
“Of course I can,” Wiseman said, though after she’d left he added, “Though it certainly helps if you also have an int score higher than that of a half-orc barbarian.”
