The Guardian


Tao: You see, some men have worthwhile quests. They wouldn’t travel all this way to satisfy some rats.
Dar: Tao, they’re not rats. Besides, the Downs are the only place where the silken nutmeat grows.
Tao: Just my luck.
Dar: It’s all about the gifts of nature and enjoying a good journey.
Tao: Let me guess. The journey yields aching feet.


Manjusa: This could have been me. It should have been me.
Dar: Every man has his time. When it should be you, it will be you.


Dar: What are you? Are you a goddess?
Guardian: Nothing so hard to understand. More like a midwife.


Guardian: Those men are not holy men. They must leave the mountain.
Dar: I don’t understand.
Guardian: Some places must not be explored.


Dar: A man who fears death has already died many times.


Ancient One: I know, I know. You have this childlike love for sound. No, it’s not...it’s music because that makes mortals feel better.


Ancient One: You think I’ve become different. I can’t be different. I’m the original. Whatever I become is still me. You see, when you become wiser you’ll realize it’s a healthy form of metamorphosis. Caterpillar turns into butterfly. Ancient One becomes more merciful.


Manjusa: Ramah’s promised us answers.
Tao: Be very wary of a man who makes promises.


Guardian: The urge for life is strong. You had to let go to become who you are. Letting go is always the path forward.
Dar: Are you from the Ancestors?
Guardian: No, but some say I’m as old as the hills, and they’d be right.


Guardian: If you mean no harm, get out of harm’s way.


Ancient One: If a gift is not accepted, it is returned to the bestower.
Students challenge teachers. It’s inevitable, possible even good. Possibly even necessary, but so predictable.


Ramah: He who holds the gate is the gate.


Ancient One: For some odd reason, even to an elevated being as my self, there is nothing quite so sad as loosing the one you love.


Tao: I know the world isn’t fair, and I would never ask for myself, but he returned the liquid rock. He has done everything to save the gate of life and death. And this creature, it’s a part of him, and if it dies part of Dar’s life is gone.
Dar: Tao...
Tao: No, no, you see...you see... I know him. I know what he’s thinking. I know him well. He lost his mother.
Guardian: I remember.
Tao: And he went back to that loss. He went back to Valhalla to live it again.
Guardian: He’s done even more than that.
Tao: Then just this once, must death be final? for all the lives taken here and for all that he has done to safeguard the stone, isn’t one life owed?
Guardian: This is a holy man.


Tao: You owe me. Big time. How do you like that?
Dar: Seems grateful to me.
