It's in reference to a conversation she had with Marethari. She is clearly talking about the Eluvian.
Curse my selective eidetic memory! Some things I can remember in perfect detailed form while others I can't. I wanted to say something about this, but I was so intent on my other post earlier that I forgot.
I think what I wanted to say was that the dangerous thing she was referring to might not have been the mirror itself, but the fact that the mirror was tainted.
Like despite the fact that it was tainted and dangerous at the time, the Eluvian still needed to be studied and researched. So ipso facto she needed to remember and study the (at that time) dangerous thing, because that comment is in direct reference to a conversation she had with Marethari.
The Keeper wanted me to destroy the fragment that I kept. She said our ancestors meant for it to be forgotten. But it's a Keeper's place to remember, even the dangerous things.
I dunno. If someone could maybe understand what I meant better than how I phrased it I'd be happy, but as of now I'll award you this one. Subject to change though if I'm able to phrase it better, but for now you get one point.
Don't get the impression I like Marethari or think she is intelligent. But not liking her does not mean I have to side with Merrill either. I am always perplexed when people feel it's one or the other.
By "one or the other" do you mean "Merrill or Marethari"? Because that's exactly what it is. By saying the mirror is dangerous, you're agreeing with Marethari. By saying "the mirror isn't dangerous" you're agreeing with Merrill.
Besides, I find it more logical that the demon was subtly playing Marethari by using her pride as both a Keeper and mother-figure against her.
Hell she spent 7 years at the base of a mountain where the demon was housed and didn't bother to move her clan away, and she and Merrill were both able to hear it whispering to them in the short story.
My original point was that spirits are in fact very unpredictable and diverse and whenever someone says they are sure a spirit is going to do this or that I reflexively roll my eyes. I think it is entirely plausible that Audacity could use some subtle method to influence Merrill that she is not expecting and people who say this is out of the question entirely because they know all there is to know about the subject are not likely to change my mind.
See above.
