I think we've done enough work. We relax and meditate. Do yoga, and unlock our inner peace and spiritual powers.

Alright this is going to sound like a stupid question, but I promise it's not.

If you had to choose between "relax" and "unlock our inner strength" and the like, which would it be? Because there is a certain amount of literal-ness involving a swarmlord's "inner strength," but I don't know that I'd call the process relaxing.

[/quote] If unlocking our inner strength means we have to go the way of the previous swarmlords and destroy and kill things and ruin the peace, I vote we relax. If we can still be on a good path even if we unlock that strength, I vote we go for it.
