*sigh* Not this again. How often do those who do understand Xande's gift have to explain? The gift wasn't about mortality at all. Xande's life as a human was the greatest gift, and Noah loved Xande the most.

Why? Because with their gifts, Doga and Unei were doomed to work for the rest of their lives. Yes, they had greater power, but only had it for their job and duty. Xande was different. His gift of life as a human would allow him to find friends, a wife, have a family, have children, through which his legacy would live on. Yes, he would die as a human, but he could have children, love and hapiness. Doga and Unei could not.

How, exactly, does this suck? Am I the only one who actually understands why Doga and Unei said life as a human was the greatest gift?
