Something like that," he answered. "You see, there was a great disaster once, which was blamed on me, and in order to atone for it, I promised to send a kinsman redeemer before anything so devastating happened again, and I believe you are the perfect choice." "What devastating event hasn't been blamed on the past in one form or another?" I said, "But why not just go yourself?" "It is against the rules," Onan told me. "How typical." "Yes, indeed, I sometimes wonder what good it is to be a god if you can't do anything yourself," he said with a sigh. "What do you want me to do there, then?" "I cannot tell you, unfortunately." "Against the rules?" I asked. "Very much so.
