The ancient creature speaks:

Know that I am Berenhotep, greatest of all the mages of the earth, and one who would master it, I know of your quest to close the void-doors. But I tell you now that you know not of all that you do, for the gates are but the only entrance to the rift, should you close them never again shall anyone be able to gain the power of the void, your Lord Doomforall merely seeks to ensure that he is the most pwoerful being in the galaxy, not to save it, the rifts will not destroy it, merely strengthen it. consider this and I shall give you new instructions
