“Blah blah light.”
“Blah blah light.”
“Blah blah light.”
It doesn’t seem to say anything else. However the Warrior of Light is transfixed by it, the crystalline likeness offset by the dark wood upon which it is mounted.
“Neat, huh?”
Bartz stands a bit behind the Warrior and nods. Then he holds up his hands, making a box.
“Though I think I might move it. It’s not level.”
“But why does it talk?”
“Why not?” Bartz shrugs.
As if taking the suggestion the head speaks again. “Blah blah light.”
“I don’t even sound like that,” the Warrior says.
“But your manikin sounds like you, and so it sounds like this.”
He gives up. The Warrior walks away. “…light help the others.”
There are at least a dozen empty plaques on the wall.
“Blah blah light.”
