Time is a Heck of a Thing

Their teacher's lesson grew quite philosophical at the end as she spoke of the impossibility of knowing how long had passed or what these creatures had called themselves. She did understand how that much time could make the knowledge and history of things fade away without someone ready to pass that information along, but it was probably the first time that the reality of mortality had really occurred to her like this. At first she didn't really know how they were supposed to learn from creatures that were long gone, but as Talyssa spoke about the remnants they would all leave behind she thought that she began to understand. Maybe it was their job to live in a way now that their impact on the world would live on after they were gone. She hummed thoughtfully and quietly thanked Talyssa for the lecture before slipping away to head back toward the Hallows with a lot of new thoughts to work through.
