Saben fled before his people, unable to silence the Think that he had filled to capacity. Each mote of dream incarnating a discrete horror playing before his eyes.


He was the first Farseed. The first Unfallen sprouted so far from his world that he had grown away from the Think. The first to be unbound by the ancient thought-tremors that had reverberated from the first of his people to touch one another's minds and thereby seal their intellectual immortality and the direction of all their heirs, till now.


His union with his people's world was revelation. It was revolution. It was revulsion. For the first time in a long time, new ideas passed from mind to mind, unmuddied by doctrine and discourse aged by the million. The long foundations of absolute peace upon which the Unfallen had grown deep roots were permeated by hairline fractures of disbelief, but always they were checked. Checked by an unquestioned ruthlessness that had kept them on an unwaivering path to prosperity. Now these cracks weathered and grew as Saben's alien values ripped through the channels of the Think.


The most ancient minds, stoic and stationary for as long as memory, turned. As they did, they were struck down without mercy as any heathen deserved. The Think had to be protected from such dangerous intrusion. Death to the Unfallen that dared place weight on these new untested thoughts. A fire to their minds! A flaying to their roots! For the peace to be maintained, any cost would be borne.


Saben fled before his people, unable to silence the Think that shouted for its own demise in response to his presence. He was the first Farseed, and as the Dust glowed about his tears, he watched the end of the old world.

I find the premise of new ideas being dangerous to the fold very a potentially very entertaining quest line. Solid idea.

Seems like we both had an idea to write about Unfallen disconnected from the large community


I like your take on it; I never thought that the Unfallen would need to create inquisition of any kind but you convincingly explained how this could happen.


I also appreciate how short your submission is - you get to the point nice and quick without beating around the bush too much. Not an easy thing to do, good job!
