The wanderer
Posted: Sun Aug 03, 2003 6:25 am
Sess'sth wanders through the empty town looking for someone. He does not know exactly who, but he wants to find that person. He wanders about the tavern, the library. He finds no one. He wanders about the shop, and finds no one. He wanders outside town into the wilderness and finds no one. He sighs and looks for a tree to cut to make some firewood.
Sess'sth lights a fire, in the remains of the forest, and concentrates on it. He moves the fire with his hands. As he does this he remembers his home, his old life before he arrived here. He remembers the Lizard villages under the sea. The tasty fish that lived all around him. He remembers his old friends. He remembers his family..... barely.
"What killeds them?" he asked himself. "Why suddenly die?" He waits for answers but finds none. He sighs and says "I guess I shoulds not know. I will nots bother the fates by asking too many questions."
Sess'sth thinks for a while then stands up. He looks around at the giant desert that is slowly growing. The ocean that is slowly decreasing. The dead trees. The corpses of the ones who could not make the heat. The castle where Darlok lives. Sess'sth continues to look around and listens for any sign of life but finds none. He stands there listening.... and waiting.... for her.
