No, it won't. But that doesn't mean we can't hold it off as long as possible.

[ sam thinks back on the previous dimming, the way the factions were already able to pit the summoned against each other. the power in which they were able to tear each other apart. he's been working as much as he can to keep it from that exactly outcome, and yet he can feel it slipping by each day. ]

There were moments it almost did, but there's a few of us trying real hard to hold it off just a bit longer; and it's not like the factions aren't trying. There was a Peace Summit not that long ago. It ended about as well as you'd think, but they did try.

[ against all odds, sam is going to hold out for that - the hope we can do better. this might be on a scale too large for him to handle on his own, but that's not going to stop him from trying. ]
