Alef/Introduction

"My name is Alef Bustoke. Formerly a Resident of Cliffside, The City and the Country. Now I live as a Citizen of Sweetwater, a Resident of Firmament. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

"But... what if I fail?" "Everyone fails sometimes Alef. Its what you do after failing that counts." "What you do... after you fail? What if there's nothing to be done?" "Theres always something that can be done after a fail sweets, You can learn just as much from failing as succeeding." "I dont understand." "Never Give up Alef, Learn from failure, stand up, and always press on." "Ah... Ok Dad." Alef and Richard Bustoke, About Failure.

"Alef." "Yes Master?" "I have been alive a very long time my student, and I've seen many a thing in these long long years. Strange things, wondrous things, terrible things..." "Yes Master." "Alef, We are the children of our Creators, We were given Promise as a sign of our potential, our chance to become our own people. But we remain the children of our Creators. And in the texts of our Fathers many things beyond our kin have been written. Beings and creatures older then even our Fathers." "Older then our Creators! How could that be?" "Hahaha, Our universe is vast, we are but a small part of it. Our time in the observatory should remind you of that. One thing our Creator's agreed upon though, is when such a being or creature is encountered, if you cannot reason with it, it is best to steer well clear of them, unless one can bring point-blank annihilation upon them quickly and totally. Do you understand Alef?" "... no master... im sorry." "Ohhahah, let us hope Alef that you never have to learn what I mean then!" Master Bleu, Dragon Family Elder, and Alef. on Beings older then the Creator's, on a cold winter night.
