"The Lady who Knows Everything\n\nAn old tale tells of a lady who wanders Earth.\nThe Lady who Knows Everything.\nA beautiful lady who has found every answer,\nAll meaning,\nAll purpose,\nAnd all that was ever sought.\n\nAnd here I am,\n\n\n a feather\n\n\nLost adrift the sky, victim of the currents of the wind.\n\nDay after day, I search.\nI search with little hope, knowing legends don't exist.\nBut when all else has failed me,\nWhen all others have turned away,\nThe legend is all that remains - the last dim star glimmering in the twilit sky.\n\nUntil one day, the wind ceases to blow.\nI fall.\nAnd I fall and fall, and fall even more.\nGentle as a feather.\nA dry quill, expressionless.\n\nBut a hand catches me between the thumb and forefinger.\nThe hand of a beautiful lady.\nI look at her eyes and find no end to her gaze.\n\nThe Lady who Knows Everything knows what I am thinking.\nBefore I can speak, she responds in a hollow voice.\n\"I have found every answer, all of which amount to nothing.\nThere is no meaning.\nThere is no purpose.\nAnd we seek only the impossible.\nI am not your legend.\nYour legend does not exist.\"\n\nAnd with a breath, she blows me back afloat, and I pick up a gust of wind.",
