TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE

There have been a lot of riftfarers arriving lately. It seems like there have been more arriving than usual. So many different kinds of people from different kinds of worlds with stories to tell and experiences to give.

A little game has appeared on the shellphone network in hopes of getting to know just a little more about these otherworlders. You might find it on your shellphone as you’re scrolling through one day.

Tell the world two truths and one lie about yourself. And let others try and decipher which of the three is your lie. If they can guess right, perhaps you’ve been able to make a new acquaintance. Or in the least learn more about someone from another walk of life.

We call them akashic. They have been an increasing plague of late, before we realized it was the mining of the Mothercrystals causing such instability, and then greed proved a greater motivator than benevolence.

Greed.

Yet again, I fail to understand. Mayhap my mind can grasp it, just barely. But my soul can't.

Then you may well be one of the best of us, Erichthonios.

I believe I would prefer you remain unable to grasp it, for greed has led to some of the worst atrocities in history.

[Atrocities. A weight settles heavily in his chest.]

I don't understand. I don't understand, but... I'm glad you aren't like that.

You're very kind, Dion.

They are but words printed, and yet I can feel your dismay at such truths because I have known it.

I mean only to help how I am able. I know no other way to be.

[beshackled]

And I would ask you to be no other way.

I am truly grateful to have met you. Thank you for indulging my questions. I can only hope that I have been of some small help to you in turn.

[haveaflare]

I have precious few friends, Erichthonios. You do me great honor to allow my counting you among them.

[beshackled]

I could say the same of you, Dion.

Thank you, for being my friend.

[haveaflare]

You are quite welcome, Erichthonios.
