Jorin Ertihan steps upon the stage. A hush falls upon the audience. "Long the journey, harsh the road That leads me to the Akalak abode Here in River's Fall I rest As failed have I to pass the test An actor without goal or stage A bird within his gilded cage Long have I sought companions true Thus brings me here tonight, to you." Jorin bows, and leaves the scene. Sound, then silence. The play is over. |
