This place is terrifying. The waters are so shallow. I fear that I shall drown beneath them. The koi are so peaceful, and I fear that I shall eat them. How can I defend myself? Perhaps I will tell a story.
The grass dies with every step I take- what have I d_ne?

Could it be the influence of a chimæra?

Perhaps I am a chimæra.

If you were, you could correctly name your three poisons.

Can a bull correctly name its horns?
...very well, I will try- my poisons are knowledge, curiosity and ambition.
Knowledge spills from my mouth and eats its way into the ears of those who listen. It destroys beautiful mysteries by revealing them to be facts.
Curiosity runs in my veins. It burns, causing me to search far and wide, hither and thither, to rip and tear and slice at this beautiful world in order to release more knowledge with which to disfigure it further.
Ambition named me and drove me into Trathira, where I sought the false idols of fame and recognition. I presented my feeble works and was applauded by hundreds of faceless strangers. Always, always I roam the physical plane, seeking any refuge that will take me and embrace my curiosity and knowledge. Ambition has denied me contentment many times and I have often sought to inflict it upon others, but I rarely succeed.
These are my poisons- am I a chimæra? Or something worse?

I remember the pond. Now it is in me forever.
