"-and I fell to my knees and begged. And I pleaded. And I screamed and promised and cursed and sobbed until my voice ran dry and my body broke down. To the gods. To the sky. To those who would listen and those who lay dead around me. To the star that blinded and abandoned us. And someone listened. The heat of the lightning lit my body ablaze. Sand filled my lungs, pouring out of my mouth as I tried to call out. And I gave in. And I crumpled to dust falling between their finger tips. I was rebuilt malformed and twisted. I was reborn an echo of my past. And in my shaking, freezing hands they placed our world. No longer do I have a place amongst you. But it is enough to see you live once more. It is enough to watch over your lives. It is enough to be your star."
