Despair is the way of all war. You can't run from a threat that will follow you to the end of time to destroy you. You most hold your ground and your advantages. Push forward. Fight back. If you can't run, even if you can't win, you take them down with you. The Cult sees death, yes. But in the many futures it has seen, they have also seen victory, rebuilding, a new age even, one of Light.
