| - And so I became the agent of the destroyer. Faced with the utter contempt of my people and enraged by one abuse too many, I accepted the gift that he offered. I expected some bright heavenly display to mark my fall into his clutches, but I got none. What I did get was healed. The wounds that had been so cruelly dealt to me vanished in a moment and I found myself standing there alone, as if I was uninjured. My robe had been repaired, too, replaced with a deep crimson purple robe with golden trim. 'Finally,' I could not help but thinking, 'I am dressed and treated as I deserved to be treated. I only ever wanted to give my life in service, yet always I was turned away in contempt. Now I will turn my revenge on those who rejected me. For I have given my service to the the true lord....'

I was distracted by my rage, nearly tripping over the Moglo-habilis that had set up a picnic at the edge of the field. "When I am done...." I said to the creature with contempt, "this will be a vast desert and you will have no place to sit and eat." I did not know from whence the words came, but suddenly they felt right. The creature uttered some kind of bleat in the language of all moglinkind and I was suddenly infuriated by this too. "Cannot even speak a proper language," I sneered at the thing, and kicked him, which only caused him to bleat again. Infuriated anew, I grabbed my staff and finally began my work. The poor creature did not stand a chance. By the time I was done, it was little more than a puddle with chunks floating in it. "Good, Xilar...." the voice crooned. "Now we are ready to really begin...."
