Once he came upon a stream and it brought him closer to another world. The sound of the running water reminded him of his awakening on a planet in the far reaches of infinite space—a planet experiencing war and strife. He remembered bringing the winds, creating the waves—huge tidal waves, destroying the coastal cities. So long ago. So long ago. It repulsed Eolia. So he left the stream and never went back. Once he heard a beautiful voice, that of a woman, calling his name. "Eolia," it sang in the distance. "Eolia, where are you?" The voice sounded sad, and it made him sad, but he couldn't find her. He looked through all the fields, and still he couldn't find her.
