They follow. Across the blasted plain he comes; his speed is irrelevant. Sometimes he flies faster than the hated southwind, the breath of the poison land, that kills the babe in the cradle. Sometimes he is slow as the strange infections of the north, that slay with ten years of increasing agony. It matters little to them; they follow. They follow, bearing their burden. They are three; they are stone. Their burden is stone. They bring you all you ever asked for, all you ever wanted. They will not be denied; he will lead them to you unerringly, unswervingly. Through darkling woods he comes; they follow. He rests in shining glades; they wait. He is his own counsel. He listens only to you, and no one else can sway him. You cannot sway him, for he knows of your inner needs and knows that your words are only the product of your fears. Embrace him. He sees your soul. He knows what you need. Those who follow bring what you need. Their burden is stone. They follow. heckler -- "...the ceaseless stroking of my ego is something that all creatures, living and dead, should obviously devote their existences to." -- Scowling Jim Cowling, the Merchant of Menace
