: This one has its roots on Earth. Told in many different places, in many different ways, but always with the same main elements. Some places they call it Christmas, other places they call it Easter.

: When Joshua was little, Ar was fighting a big war, and the Areans didn't have time or inclination or manpower to rule Joshua's village in usual iron handed way. So he grew up relatively free. He gathered wisdom over time, and we spoke wisdom to his people.

: As they usually do, the Areans won their war, and then was the time for their soldiers to spread out into the conquered territories, and start living off the fat of the land again. Taking the bounty of the land from the people who worked it.

: All his life, the resources of Joshua's village had been enough to sustain his people, with a little left over. But now, with the greedy Arians skimming off the top, Joshua's people could barely survive on what was left to them.

: Two things, at totally cross purposes, happened as a result. Every day, more and more, the people began to look at Joshua as a Leader, who would lead them in revolting against these hated foreigners from Ar. But Joshua also learned, as he learned more of Ar, that such a thing would be genocide. The forces of Ar could sweep through these villages and wipe out every man, woman and child. The people were brave enough to fight Ar, they just didn't have a vulo's chance in a sleen pit.

: I care what people think. I'm disappointed that things didn't go better with the Tuchuks, or in GPort. But I don't let it change anything. And I guess, I don't let, what... other people think, change how I feel anymore. If that makes sense/
