"You mentioned a malevolent entity which you had defeated.  Are such things common?"

"The Shroud is host to many demons, but very few on that scale."

"What is the Shroud?"

"The Shroud is the realm of psionics. It is a hidden realm or dimension composed of thoughts of every sentient being."

"Interesting.  We have the layers of reality where zoenshoeth reside, but nothing with thoughts and demons. 

"Is there a relation between psionic people and the Shroud?"

"Psionics are those who can consciously control their connection to the Shroud, and manipulate its energies to achieve effects in the physical world."

"How common are psionics?"

"The potential resides in all beings. I awaken everyone under my rule. Outside of such intervention, active control is much rarer. The natural rate of occurrence is on the order of one in one billion."

"Did you notice any drop in the available energy in the Shroud after this policy was enacted?"

"The Shroud does not obey ordinary conservation laws. 'Available energy' is not a meaningful concept."

"Fascinating.  Our world is ever-cycling and eternal, but what can be done at any given time without destroying what already exists is limited.  In a population of 13 billion sapients, less than a million of them have magic.  Much of the potential I choose to spend is on portals and maintenance of my parents' systems to keep the Netarin moons and MuurKari's caverns habitable.  My counterpart, who collects the lost potential of things I do in the same way that I get his, has decided to be stingy with returning things this eon.

"Assuming there are things our magic can do which psions can not, and a way to transfer potential or energy, I suspect we can have worthwhile trade."

"Perhaps. There is always cultural exchange, of course."

"Naturally.  Though, I take little interest in curating culture personally.  I choose to limit myself to maintaining a constitution of standard laws which all of the countries of my empire must follow, and letting the physical beings fill in the gaps for themselves."

"I would be interested in seeing more of your empire."

"That can be arranged.  I can send my Champion to escort you to whatever interests you.  He has been to most places of note, and as he is in charge of foreign relations for Murune it will be useful for him to understand your people better."

"This is acceptable."

Eh, fine.  He guesses he can do that.  

"May the meeting of our worlds be beneficial for everyone involved."
