Rosa, um, would Someone be Iluvatar? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]. (To be honest, I'm wondering what the secret evil is, actually...probably shouldn't get the real world into this thread, though...)

This sort of thing is always like asking "What if you were in occupied France?" or something along those lines. I hope I'd fight the evil out of sheer altruism and take the saving of people I'd never meet as sufficient reward, and of course it would be. To be honest though, I can easily see myself trying to duck out of harm's way as long as the evil wasn't (a) coming after me or people I knew personally or (b) trying to conscript me (trying to forcibly enrol me to be Chief Assistant to the Mouth of Sauron, something like that where I'd be actively helping perpetrate its deeds). Then I would fight it - probably by sabotage. It would be difficult to find the resolve though, and it would take a lot of faith just to avoid despairing, if it were anything like the evils I'm thinking of...
