I am indeed familiar, however, while that was merely a metaphor for simplified understanding, it was not an exact one. Creation magic has immutable laws, ones that vary from the laws of machines. Which is both a merit and a flaw for the art, but should one do it properly, with a clear mind and clear intent, their creation will doubtlessly follow the will of the creator without question. This has ever been tested and proven without fail. Viewed thus, He has already been bound by the laws of Creation.
[A clear mind and clear intent. Something that might be easy, if they're creating something not in the middle of a crisis, with their people and planet dying. It's almost like their creation might have a huge flaw in it because they did so under an immeasurable amount of stress and fear!]
However, we are much the same in terms of independent thought. Amaurot greatly encouraged such, without judgment. Much and more did we accomplish, did we learn, because of unrestrained thoughts and opinions. That we might cultivate and engender the minds of our people. Had we not, then I doubt not our annihilation would have been guaranteed.
Now, as for the topic of Hydaelyn. It would seem to me you might have a misunderstanding of events, and that may very well be my fault. While it is true that Zodiark required sacrifice to do as was needed, such is the exchange of Creation. That is not His fault, nor His desire. In order to stop oblivion from taking us, we needed to create him, and to do so required a vast amount of aether. A quantity that could only be found through the sacrifice of our souls.
This allowed Him to rewrite the laws of reality so that we would survive. However, I confess, it was not perfect. Our star had suffered irreparably from the Final Days. The lands were blighted, the winds ceased to blow, our waters poisoned, and countless species were lost. Thus, we needed Him a second time, and so another half would willingly offer themselves so that the land could regain life anew. That we sorrowful few that remained might cultivate the land, make it bursting with life once more.
The bloodshed did not come till after Hydaelyn committed The Sundering. Therefore, Her actions and those of her followers are directly to blame for what is necessary to repair my reality, to restore my people. To suggest that She is the one trying to prevent further damage, when it was She who created such damage in the first place is utterly absurd. So, yes. I do indeed blame Her for what She has done. If there was any other path to tread, we would. I have searched for eons of another way—none exists. It is not by Lord Zodiark's design that this must needs be done, but it is merely a byproduct of restoring the life She had destroyed.
Each shard we rejoin to The Source gets us closer to restoring reality as it should be. While this may cost lives in so doing, it is ultimately for the greater good. Our reality cannot continue as it is, and should true annihilation return, mortals are not capable of fending it off. Under their stewardship, existence as we know it is doomed, and I cannot allow our tragedy to come to pass again.
He is the only one capable of preventing such a catastrophe from ever occurring again.
