โYou smell of fire and sun... the energy you give off reminds me of home. Back before it became dust and sand, and before it was reborn, that is... What are you?โ
โWhat am I?โ He wanted to retort quickly, pushing the burden of the question back on whatever approached him. He couldnโt begin to comment on the otherโs spirit, let alone put it as the other did. The poignant nature of it all was lost on him as he took a defensive posture, โI am just a man, sharing a mortal body with... something else.โ
He frowned. How best to explain it without dogma? Perhaps that wasnโt possible. Perhaps he owed no explanation. He spoke on regardless, โSomething greater than me, older than all of us. It is life, unconcerned with any opinion. Perhaps you stand here because of it, or in spite of it. What would you say to that?โ
