[QUOTE="Kobold Stew, post: 6730157, member: 23484"] "Hm. Indeed." Spec clears his throat, and scratches his nose as he thinks. "Indeed." "The rope's an image, and an imperfect one, of course: depending on your thoughts, it might represent a day's travel, a planned career, or one's whole life. The ends aren't important -- it's the nestling together of strands, brought together from at times disparate places, or sources." He squints at Guran, and wonders if he makes sense. "But I think the larger truth is that there aren't any real forks in the road. We follow a path, we make choices, but we always end up at a destination. And that destination is always a way point. The choices we make may seem very real to us in the moment -- we may celebrate them or regret them afterwards -- but whenever we look back, it's still the single journey that we have made, going straight back to our starting point. And there's still a single journey ahead." Spec smiles as a light seems to go off metaphorically in Guran's head. And actually in his hand. A perfect symbol of understanding that there has been some real communication. None of the others have even heard of Fharlanghn, and Spec is beginning to wonder where his journey has taken him -- it seems to be much further than he had previously suspected. [/QUOTE]
