'Bout then was when a young lad of 9 was leaving his house for his morning tea, dry cleaning, and video game marathon.

Curiosly, there seemed to be a kingly air about this young vagabond, and his destiny is a tale unlike any other.

Dutifully the young lad pondered his plans as he finished his tea and decided that dry cleaning being the most unsavory of his tasks, began to walk to town clothing in hand.

"Eh, what's this?" screeched a harpy as the young lad passed by her tree.

"Finias, Finias Marangue" replied the boy as he stopped beneath the tree.

Gladly the Harpy accepted the proffered ciggarette and they sat and smoked and talked of days of yore.

"How come they stopped showing episodes of Batman Beyond anyway?" The harpy asked Finias.

I don't really know, perhaps we should call the correct broadcasting clearing house.

"Just hold on a second--you honestly think that the people who pulled Batman Beyond would give us a straight answer if we called them?"

"K... that IS a valid enough point, but... HEY! What the hey is THAT?" demanded the lad pointing at the horizon.
