Master UrSu, the wisest of the Mystics, was wandering when he was sure that he heard

something fairly nearby. The faint sound of the sobs of a child, along with a slight odour of

smoke. UrSu continued to hobble in the direction of the sound, stopping when he noticed

what appeared to be a devastated village, and at his feet, a young Gelfling curled in a ball.

The kindly old master lifted the little one into his arms and said "there there my child, you can

have a home with the UrRu. I'll even introduce you to the others." UrSu said all of this

between tender tears, for he couldn't bear the thought of what could have happened before

he had come. Before UrSu knew it, he had arrived in the valley and was greeted by UrZah

the Ritual Guardian. UrZah looked to see what his master was holding in his arms and said

"Master, what is this? We shouldn't interfere with the Gelflings. They have their own lives to

live." "There are no more Gelflings", answered UrSu, "he is the last. Could you possibly imagine

how that feels?" The Ritual Guardian backed down and let the old master through. Soon

enough, the master was laying down the Gelfling in his den and checked on him. The child had

calmed down to the point where he was no asleep.
