All We Have

“How can we possibly change time?” Dakshana asked. “Time moves, even if we are as you say we are - immortal. It might move without us, and how could we possibly hope to change anything? Humans are humans. If you saw ten nations fall, was anything gained by it? Did humans learn anything?”
