[ He sighs, letting his head hang. With everything in retrospect, he's no longer angry. More...resigned. There's nothing to do but to accept his loss, accept the world as he knew it can no longer be, and move on to whatever his next life may be. ]
Fandaniel had created a familiar - an entelechy he named Meteion - whose singular trait was her ability to harness dynamis. Dynamis is a-- a force not unlike aether, except it is swayed by the depth of one's emotions. He sent out numerous replicas of her beyond the firmament, bid them survey distant stars and ask their inhabitants what they lived for. It so happened that on the day Hythlodaeus and I visited our soon-to-be Fandaniel, Meteion's sisters had compiled their answers.
[ A slight pause here. He takes a breath. ]
Every star beside our own lay dead. Every single one had chosen to end themselves rather than continue living - if they weren't already desolate upon arrival.
