One Thousand and One Nights with a Giant

What enormous mountains! My name is Thorne Sterling, a young idler from a small town. That day, I saw a god and was forced to become the leader of a secret cult, embarking on a grand journey. What does “greatness” mean? Greatness itself is beyond words. There are great people and great things, high above us. Some kneel in worship, while others dismiss them. I belong to the latter group. The sun above Saint Velia will still fall, even if countless people hold it aloft. Great things, too, will ultimately decay. Fate is a tide. When it rises high enough, you can see the finish line. Many think I'm someone standing atop the tide, but I firmly believe I'm the one who raised it.
