"We have learned through circumstances both tragic and glorious a profound truth. All things must change. By its very nature the universe rejects monotony. It creates in painstaking detail, over millions of years, complex realities that thrive and die, each with their own laws. Yet in the same broad strokes of creation it may destroy a thousand other worlds to make room for the new. Rarely do we mortals witness these epochal events, though they shape the very fabric of our existence. We see only the echo of that grand change; a shadow of the hand that sweeps away one reality to make way for another. And whether by misfortune or fate, those who do witness world-changing events, who become players in the end of all things, these souls are forever changed. Marked by what they have seen and done."
