Suilad mellyn! Ore nomo Elluindil.
If you're here to learn about alchemy, you came to the wrong place. But if Tsume, Toboye, Hige and Kiba mean anything to you, then you've found a special place, especially if you understand the italic text!
Doshte?
Why are some tales memorable and others are not? Why do some tales hold our thoughts for days, weeks (years) after? I showed some of the comments on YouTube to my friend and mentor of many years, Melda Laure, and he was touched.
"Good heavens! It's a bloody dagor nirnaith! *" he said
"Yes, it looks like everybody cried."
"It's about time they cried about something! As if Haiti and Baghdad weren't enough!"
"Sensei! You said no politics."
Alright, admit it, you cried for three days after episode 28 and 30. Then you watched it all over again! Oh yeah. We all cried, but how many actually understood what the storytellers told us?
I thought so.
And yet you come back again and again to watch it. Why? Because there is a deep underlying truth here from which your waking mind hides. But more importantly, there is a hidden message of incredible hope which should have left you burning with such a fiery joy that it might just dry up all those tears (well most of them) and maybe even leave you laughing yourself silly like Toboe.
"Do you really intend to tell them everything? No one will believe you."
"Sensei, what is left to tell? They might as well know the truth. Besides it's a story."
"It's a minefield. Dont come whining to me later."
Apologies to the Windowmaker for having to modify your work to fit our story. We cant leave out the runt!
