Ajax thought deeply for quite some time. He could not shake the feeling that something was amiss.

"What say you?" The Star Child asked.

Ajax looked at the Star Child carefully. Somehow, he could not shake the feeling that something was off. However, he just could not quite fully pinpoint what it was.

"I know that this is a lot to take in." The Star Child began to say. "And, I hate to pressure you. However, time is not on our side."

Ajax continued to ponder on what was happening. Then, he had an epiphany.

"I highly doubt what you say is true."

"What?!" The Star Child replied.

"First, you said that we are in the land of Hypnos. Therefore, if that is the case, I am asleep and this is all but a dream. Now, if this is not a dream and indeed I am in the land of Hypnos, there is no evidence to prove that you are who you say you are. And if you are who you say you are, why all the back handling? Why did you have to pretend to be me? Why did you not ask directly for my help? What is your end game?

"Indeed, you are very perceptive. I guess, there is no sense of hiding anything from you."

"I am primordial being from the world of Adamah. I became a pure energy after the elders destroyed by gorputz fisikoa cast me away into this forlorn land of Hypnos."

"Why?" Ajax asked.

"Because those fools believed in the prophesy that I came into being to be the end of Adamah."

Ajax grasped.

"But, that is not true. I came into being sent by the heaven to bring utopia to the world of Adamah. However, those elders feared the true power I carry and murdered me and cast me away in this forsaken land."

The Star Child cried in anger.
