Mark as…

Ash took a quiet sip of his drink as he stared up at the stage, his gaze looking millions of miles away, years apart in any direction. "You know Rob, we used to have a story in Sommer. A parable if you will. I don't remember the whole thing word for word, but the gist is about an nasty hunter who moves to the woods. He's a rather unpleasant fellow; kills for fun, tortures the animals, tosses his trash all around the beautiful landscape, even dams up a river. This hunter hasn't a care in the world, loving his life of wanton and abandon. One day, when the hunter was particularly liquored, he stepped outside his cabin for a smoke." Ash paused as he picked up his pipe again, tilting it towards Rob as though it were a prop.

"Now this hunter, he had no care for these lands, never did anything to look after them, never bothered to use the wisdom of those who knew how to live off the land. When he finishes off his cigarette, he tosses it into the grass, and goes back inside to go to sleep. His dreams are restless, uncomfortable. He keeps waking up during the night, feeling hot and sweaty. This continues until finally, he wakes from his sleep feeling an almost burning sensation on his skin. He almost thought it was a fever, until he noticed the cracks of light shining through his cabin walls, and the thick smell of smoke. Before he knows it, there's a huge crash! His roof collapses in, he can now see that his home in engulfed in flames! Well the hunter, he's truly panicking now, so he rushes to the door, bursts through it... And immediately stops in place. The whole forest is engulfed in fire. Everything around his is searing hot, burning him just from being close. He has nowhere to go, nowhere to run. The hunter is about to run back into the cabin, but now the whole cabin has collapsed behind him. The hunter stands there maybe another minute or two, and then he too is engulfed in flames."

Ash looked uncomfortably up to the stage again as he thumbed the glass in his hand. "When you disrespect the forest, the forest will find a way to turn against you, and to devour you. Even the tiniest blades of grass can fuel the most unstoppable forces. If I'm being honest with you Rob... I've always seen myself as a blade of grass in this story, waiting to devour the wicked in a sea of flames." He looked back to the Ulfirian for a moment, his gaze steely, but pained. "I'm sure you know as well as I do... The universe has a few too many terrible people in it."
