The Man And The Crystal

(Hooded Man)

     "All Knowing Crystal....tell me. Tell me, why is the world so twisted? How come some are brave enough to disrespect or disregard another? Why is it, that most care little to not at all about another?"

-the crystal remains silent-

(Hooded Man)

    "All Knowing Crystal . . . . Why do you not speak? You have answered most if not all my questions in the past, but I ask you these and you say nothing?" Said the hooded figure.

-the crystal remains silent-

(Hooded Man)

   "Crystal.....why must you ignore me? I have done all that you've asked of me since I gained ownership of you, yet you still remain silent? Why, Is it because with what's going on there hardly a level to start fixing it? Is it because it's tainted and corrupted by wrong doings and misdeeds-"

(The Crystal)

  'I remain silent....for I do not have the answers to your questions....i am sorry I'm unable to answer them....you have done me a great service with what you've done thus far....for that I am proud of you, young mage....but these questions....i....i can not answer them for I do not know them.' Said the Crystal, as it glow a strange pink hue.

  "....my apologies All Knowing Crystal....." The man said quietly. "This is new to me, for you've always answered my questions in the past. You have answered my questions now in a way that wouldn't make sense to another. For that, I thank thee." Said the man as he bowed to the strange crystal on his desk.

(The Crystal)

'You are wise beyond your years, young mage....you're heart is pure....caring....yet full of hate of things I can not understand.....Your mind is bright....thoughtful...yet acts done out of spite fill it.....our time together is not finished....for there's much we need to do....' Said the Crystal as it glew pink as it spoke.

(Hooded Man)

"Thank you Crystal, let us continue working together..."
