"You are not the first," the Elder told us. "This universe is far from young, as
well. When first it emerged, it was
flush and hot with the juices of potential, ripe to bursting. It has stretched and fallen many times since
then. What is left to you, the Children
of the Latter Age, is but the bare and dry bones of that which was. The flesh is gone, swallowed up by the
passing eons. You will never know it..."
It sighed, its eyes reflecting the dim glow of a thousand million
faded stars. "Oh, it was delicious
beyond knowing."
