The beginnings of an explanation
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 75203

Scott awakens, wiping the drool from his chin. Mithir sits by him, smiling.
"Have a buttered scone, Scott," he says, "for I have much to tell you."
Scott does this, and has some tea with honey, as Mithir sips his own. "Your real name is Scott Childers," says Mithir, ignoring Scotts look of surprise, " and you know it. The time for lies and hiding has past. Be yourself, you are worth it. You have been through so much, the time has come for you to take on an adventure where you can make a difference." "Where am I? And how do you know my real name? And who are you?" asks Scott, grabbing another scone. "What quest? What adventure? Do I get paid? Are there chicks?" Mithir laughs, a loud booming hearty cheerful explosion of joy "Oh Scott! You are so damaged, but no fear. In this quest you will find yourself fixed. But all questions will be answered here, with no misdirection. I will answer you..." Mithir gets up, and clasps his hands in front of his chest. "Where are you? You are far from the Tower. Far from its damaging influence. You are outside the realms that you have known, and you are under my protection. No one can follow us here." Mithir smiles again, broadly, showing pristine teeth. "I know your name because I am One of Few. I am the One of Knowledge. More than that I do not know to tell you, but I promise in your journey to come you will learn the full answer, or I shall tell you the rest of it at journeys end." Scott opens his mouth to speak, but Mithir holds up a hand. "Hold on now, my friend, I am still answering your previous questions. Your quest, your adventure... that is best answered at length, and is impossible to answer simply. You see, Scott, this world is called Aegar. It is a world whose elements you would identify with the word 'Fantasy'. It has kingdoms of men and elves, dwarves and ogres, gnomes and giants. It has wizards and sages and kings and emperors. " and finally Mithir sighs. "and it is at its end. This world has reached the point to where it is time for it to transition to Whats Next." "What does that have to do with me?" sputtered scott, cramming another scone in his mouth. "What do you need me for, mr. magic powers man? not that I am not appreciative. I feel like a million bucks, and my thoughts are more clear than... well... in a long time. I just need to know more information." That sounds fair to me...
