THE START OF HIS PATH II

['Not far off. The path to the pinnacle is unpredictable. It has to do with what you have fought for, the Dao that you have comprehended, and the opportunities that you have benefitted from. This path is simply difficult to get on, and difficult to stay on. Now that you have just started on this path in Omega, rather than having Xander, Al, or even myself help you out of situations that you walked into or stumbled upon, it would benefit you more if you get out of it on your own.'] Lex started, waiting to hear if the rest still had misgivings about his decision.

After a few seconds of silence, Lex continued, ['Alex, unless you have reached the point of no return, unless you have struggled to the point where you are on your last breath, do not switch with any of us just so we can help you resolve the situation... even at that, it would be better for your path to the pinnacle if you avoid asking us for help.']
