A FRAGMENT FOUND IN THE NEW PAVIS LIBRARY (Date and author unknown)
Argrath and Elusu prepare for a battle:
ELUSU: Wa, Chief. What is the sound of a sword?
ARGRATH: A metallic ping. A whoosh of wind as it swings through the air. A meaty crunch as it slices flesh and bone.
Elusu shakes her head. No.
Later, after the battle, women weep and the wounded scream in pain.
ARGRATH: That is the sound of a sword.
ELUSU: Ain’t it beautiful?
____________________________
Elusu and Argrath are deep in their cups:
ELUSU: Look into the ale, Boss. Watch that bubble, rising. What do you see?
ARGRATH: The World.
ELUSU: Pop. Now it’s gone.
ARGRATH: But look, another rises to take its place.
Elusu chugs the beer then burps loudly.
ELUSU: So die a thousand worlds. (Calls to the barkeep) More beer!
____________________________
Elusu and Argrath walk down a dusty road on a beautiful day.
ELUSU: I am the blow that cannot be parried. I strike you dead, but you’re alone. What am I?
ARGRATH: Suicide.
____________________________
Elusu takes a hit of hazia. Passes the pipe to Argrath.
ELUSU: Imagine perfect Law. Perfect Order. Everything is the same. All is at rest. Nothing changes. As it was before creation. What else do we call this?
ARGRATH: Primal Chaos.
ELUSU: And what then causes creation?
ARGRATH: More Chaos.
ELUSU: Wa! Stop hogging the pipe!
____________________________
Argrath and Elusu ride a boat downstream on the River of Cradles.
ELUSU: What color is the sky?
ARGRATH: Today? Blue.
ELUSU: What color would the sky be if I scooped out your eyes?
ARGRATH: If you put out my eyes, I won’t be able to see it.
ELUSU: But I'll still see it.
ARGARTH: No. Because if you put out my eyes, you’ll be dead.
ELUSU: Wa, if I’m dead and you’re blind, then what color is the sky?
ARGRATH: There is no sky.
____________________________
Elusu and Argrath are at a tavern.
ELUSU: Wa, Chief, what is this gold coin worth?
ARGRATH: Twenty silvers. So… 200 horns of beer?
Elusu and Argrath are lost and dying of thirst in the Wastelands.
ELUSU: Wa, what is this gold coin worth now?
ARGRATH: Nothing.
Nearly dead, Elusu and Argrath reach an oasis. There are several Rhino Riders there.
ELUSU: Now what is that gold coin worth?
ARGRATH: If we’re lucky, both our lives.
Argrath and Elusu loot the dead bodies of the Rhino Riders. Elusu finds another gold coin.
ELUSU: Wa, no wonder. They already had a gold coin. What do you think it’s worth?
ARGRATH: Everything. And nothing.
ELUSU: Right now, I would trade it for a beer.
____________________________
Argrath and Elusu reach a fork in the road.
ELUSU: We're lost. We don’t even have a destination. Which is the correct way?
Argrath continues straight, taking neither road. Elusu follows.
ELUSU: At the end of this road, there'd better be beer.

FHQ With Bitter Heart appears to die because of it or maybe in the process of making it happen.
