Subject: Story-time in the Center!

"In a place far, far away, a place that mortals would call ancient, there was a vastly powerful being. He was getting bored, and so decided to visit another planet. This planet, still very young, was at war. As the being looked down upon it, something caught his eye. A girl, a mortal girl, was dying; yet she continued to fight to protect her fallen companion. The powerful being was interested in this, although he did not feel pity or sorrow, and just as she was about to be killed, he sent a lightning bolt down and destroyed her enemies. The girl collapsed, only having a few more moments to live, and managed to whisper thank you before she died. Her comrade, a young man, vowed vengeance on those whom she had fought. A month later, it was he who was at death's door. He was not going to die, however, until they won the war. He knew it. Moments later, a messenger rushed into the room, crying out We won! We won! The enemy is defeated! The young man smiled at the news, and then gave up his soul to the gods above."

The story ended, the Daceno lay back down. There were murmurs of approval going around the group, and they included my friend's and mine. My friend, who was commonly called Claws, said to me, "How cool. Though it was somewhat sad." I agreed, saying, "Yeah, I wish it were longer."
