[He knows why, of course. But there's something else that's been percolating in his mind for a while. He puts an uncooked fillet onto the pan and soon the sound of sizzling fills the air.]
I was told this star is the first of all worlds. Mayhap ours inherited some similarities from this one? Or mayhap 'tis simply the same idea developed under different circumstances.
[He can think of an instance of that occurring immediately.]
For example, there exists a myth of a bird of fire whose everlasting flames would heal all they protect. But in the Far East, a continent distant to my homeland, there exists a very similar myth of an immortal bird of fire. They have rather different origins, yet the stories converged upon the very same ideas.
[And he does, of course, wonder if the essence of the creature living in Pandemonium had ended up being inherited by either, both, or neither after the Sundering.]
