18: Something Important
(Aun starts to work on mending his broken frenting rod.)
Aun: So I was always told that I would do great deeds... But I always felt they were holding back on me. Something important didn’t get said.
(Aun peers deeper at the broken section.)
Aun: Ayi, the core is wet! I think it’s your blood. Ugh!
I’m talked out for now. Why don’t you tell me what it was like for you...?
Chax (asleep and snoring) HZZzzzzzZZ...
Aun: Oh. That exciting, eyi?
Chax: ZZhhhzzZZ...
Aun: Well, I guess you need the rest. I’ll be up for a while, myself. Until I fix my frenting rod, I can’t feed.
(Aun continues to work on fixing it.)
Chax (still asleep, but something disturbs him): Zz >snrk< zzZ...
Strange internal voice: “It will fail again. We can do nothing.”
