Until his encounter with a mysterious old man that he knew only as Anon, Vash Rance had been as a derelict ship, drifting upon a sea of strange occurrences. He had lived as a mental wanderer, a dreamer, and although calling himself a poet, he had sailed from one experience to another without thinking they held meta-meaning. Then Anon had compelled him to look deeper into his life; and in contemplating the “why me?” of his having been witness to certain events, Vash had seen that a poet´s gift is not that he feels more, but that much more befalls him to feel.
