It was beautiful in its way.  Almost every planet had a long history with relics to match.  But in an Imperium full of trillions, few could ever really stand out to Humaniti at large.  But, still, people had lived, loved and died here and the vast majority of them would never be remembered.  Shooting stars.  And they felt themselves as real to the Cosmos as Grendel did now.<br/><br/>But it was time to the task at hand.  He felt that who he was looking for was here somewhere.  Grendel began to search faces and,<em>aspects</em>, a word for a concept most non-telepaths would not understand...<br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">I'm sorry I have been away from this thread for so long.  Grendel has been drawn to the same ruined city that Eli has and is looking for ehim.  There are several ways that Eli and Grendel might meet.  But I don't know which is best, not knowing this universe as well as LizzieV does, or Eli as well as National Acrobat.  I assume they will meet faster if they both want this meeting (Grendel does), consciously or subconsciously.  Otherwise, it might take longer.  I will try and play off any replies.  :-)</div></div>
