SHIVA: It is a beautiful to be here in the heaven of imagination,
but it is even more beautiful to walk the earth as a mortal.
And to never know which day will be your last, or what the
final testament of your existence might be. What great significance
this lends to even the smallest and most inconsequential of
events and encounters. For in the context of life and death,
all things grow more precious.
POSEIDON: Mankind lives outside the temple - on the street,
in the fields, any place where there is a stage from which
no one can be excluded, where the unknown can come and go
freely, bringing order and peace with one hand while spreading
chaos and danger with the other. |

TRIADONDIA: So, in fact, the lowly corners of life are not
so lowly at all, and the profane is more sacred than at first
glance it might appear to be.
SHIVA: Yes, exactly so.
TRIADONDIA: And so then, the most perfect place for man is
ironically enough that place where perfection is impossible,
and where only the acceptance of limitations brings wisdom?
SHIVA: Struggle along, so it is said, wake up everyday and
one day you’ll be dead.
POSEIDON: Amen to that old boy. |

TRIADONDIA: So, then I had best plan on returning to the
surface of the sea and back to the world.
SHIVA: Sounds good to me. Sound good to you, Father of the
Oceans?
POSEIDON: Sounds good to me.
SNORKELDRAGON: (Boldly speaking up) Sound goods to
me too!
TRIADONDIA: And to me, as well. |

SHIVA: Then we are all in agreement, Triadondia will return
to the world. He will gather what he has learned here and
put it to some good use there, and we will all help.
TRIADONDIA: And in this way, something new will take place
in the world.
SHIVA: Exactly, it is up to you now. I am afraid the old bearded
one and I are far past being of much good at inventing anything
new and different.
SNORKELDRAGON: But what about me? I did not even exist before
a short time ago. I am not some old world god, all tired and
nostalgic. I am me, and I am ready for anything! |

TRIADONDIA: (Snapping to attention) Then come with
me. How shall I get back to the surface of the sea? How shall
I climb back up that beam of light which brought me here?
You shall be my stead. Upon your back, I shall rise to the
surface, and in that way, I shall return to the world of men.
SNORKELDRAGON: What will happen to me once we reach the surface?
TRIADONDIA: I don’t know. You will be free I suppose
– free to take any form you choose.
SNORKELDRAGON: Well, I uh, I uh… I guess that’s
not so bad.
POSEIDON: Not bad at all for something that was microscopic
fish food only a short time ago. |
