Sol’nus Voices His Worry

In a meadow of bloom, he asks Gaii’nus why her heart is heavy, and she confesses that animals lack higher purpose. She longs for beings who can love, choose, and dream.

So it came to pass that Sol’nus journeyed to Gaii’nus, finding her nestled in a sunlit meadow, a tapestry of blossoms and creatures surrounding her in a riot of color. Butterflies flitted about, and the laughter of animals filled the air, yet despite this beauty, Gaii’nus radiated a melancholy that dimmed the brilliance of the day. “Oh, sweet sister,” Sol’nus called gently, his golden rays glistening upon her. “It is clear to all beings in this world that thou hast sorrow in thy heart. Pray tell, what in this great world possesses the power to weigh thy heart down?”
  With a smile that was both tender and tinged with sadness, Gaii’nus replied, “Oh, dear brother, great indeed is the world our father has created, but within my heart lies a painful emptiness. The life that Uro’nus has birthed—the animals, the landscapes—they are wondrous, yet they possess not the depth of purpose I long to see. They lead simple existences, devoid of meaning. I wish to gift them something—a spark of awareness, a breath of connection.”
