QUOTE : There were three voices, weaving together, telling a tale of stonemasons.<br /><br />One stonemason was kind, and he created creatures who could care for the sick, the very young, and the very old.<br /><br />One stonemason was strong, and she created creatures who could build homes, plow fields, and dig graves.<br /><br />One stonemason was clever, and she created creatures who could study the stars, measure the mountains, and solve the mysteries of life and death and immortality.<br /><br />Each one claimed that their creations added more to the world and were more important than the others, and so they fell to arguing, and then challenged one another to battle, with their stone creatures as soldiers. But when it came time to meet on the field, the creatures refused to fight.<br /><br />Fighting would hurt the sick.<br /><br />Fighting would destroy the homes.<br /><br />Fighting would bring only death.
