Many of your questions about the Power will be answered if you pass the test, but before that, you get a single question for beating my game... Ah, but you are so close.."  Wade stops, his face transforming into a troubled visage as he wrestles with himself."Bah, very well.  A short story before the test, instead of the single answer!"  His 'happy face' returns, and he sits on the stage, his stubby legs not reaching the ground, their movement swinging slowly back and forth giving him a somewhat childish appearance."The First Race.. I couldn't tell you their true name.  Nobody speaks of them anymore.  Yet everybody knows of them: You see them each night, as you gaze longingly into the sky, you look upon their remains, those twinkling lights so far away.  There are many myths about how the stars came to be, but the truth is known to very few.  The Stars themselves were once alive.In the beginning, the three races each had their own unique advantages - The gods had their divine spark; Titans had their creativity, ingenuity; And the eldest of the three, the Stars, they held another Power, the will of the Universe.  The three spread about the planets.. sorry, you call them Planes these days.. and sowed life.  They each created a few races, but those of the Stars outshone those of the Titans and Gods.  Eventually, the Titans rebelled against the Stars, assaulting them with their technology.  The Gods watched the fight, and chose their side - they sided with the Stars, combining their Divine Spark with the Universal Power.  It ended badly.  The Titans were able to finish off the Stars, as well as most of their creations while the Gods wrestled with the magics that were unleashed.  By the time the Gods had stopped their magics from destroying them, the Titans had consolidated their power.  But the Gods were clever, they continued to sow life, and grow in power, until they could challenge and defeat the Titans, and proclaim themselves the rulers of the Universe.  Admittedly, this is second hand, I was only present for the finale.  My kind were created during the end days of the war, long after the Stars had died."</blockquote>
