From: "Jumping Spider" <spiderjumping> To: <spiderjumping> Subject: ZETRIA ATRIAN AND THE DRAGON'S SHELL Date: 09 October 2007 CMProtocol@@JStart: Ready VJRUBCJAC<< ORUNUXJM<< ZETRIA ATRIAN AND THE DRAGON'S SHELL Waves washed over the clam's burrow, swirling sand around, concealing the lowly creature from her view. But the waves also exposed something in the sand. Zetria walked over and picked it up, letting the ocean wash away the silt. The object was an old turtle shell. "Now what interest could you have in an old thing like me?" the shell asked her. "I've just learned something from a clam, so why not a shell?" Zetria asked. "A [person]'s viewpoint," the shell replied. "Well, if you'd like, I'll tell you about myself. I was once the shell of a turtle. A supremely enlightened creature, he lived for a thousand years and then advanced in form, becoming a dragon. As dragons have no need of shells, he left me behind and made his way to the Ocean Palace to present himself to the king of all dragons." "You missed out on seeing that," Zetria said. "Perhaps, but why should I care?" the shell replied. "I am a shell, and that is all I will ever be. I served my purpose and was discarded. Now I have not a care in the world, letting myself be tossed about by the sea, becoming one with the elements. Perhaps the waves will render me to powder. Perhaps a craftsman will carve me into a work of art. Perhaps you will wear me on your head. I have no way of knowing, I'm just a shell." "I don't think I'll wear you on my head," Zetria replied, "But I would like to take you along to remind me of your words." "That sounds like something only a [person] would do," the shell said. "If you really think I'm that useful, maybe I should share with you something I learned from the dragon." Zetria turned the shell over and discovered it divided into nine sections, three by three, each inscribed with a mystical number. "Amazing," Zetria said, tracing the symbols. "Thank you." "Don't bother thanking me," the shell replied. "I'm just a shell." "Of course," Zetria said. Then she placed the shell in her sack and began to walk.
