The scribe recorded the words of Sonnabend the prophet. Words
that would be preserved for eternity by the immortal Guardians, a
collection of verses to guide the righteous across the eons.
Not for billions of years, by earth measure, would the words of the
particular verses he now recorded apply. But when the time came,
they would certainly prove true:
Star Child will leave a deathworld
For the System of the Rings;
Where the child will grow to legend
As his life the singer sings.
When the conqueror wants his secret
With the Star Child he'll contend;
As the legend strains all glory
An arm's freedom he'll defend.
As he recorded these particular verses a small shudder rattled the
time around the scribe....
