"The abyssal period. You know, the heartbeat of Ashimeer... ah. That's my problem. I am not on Ashimeer anymore.
"Well... no." N'Fehn frowns. "So, I don't exactly know if I have time to explain in detail right now, but Ashimeer, my planet, is dying. It is too close to the sun and is slowly getting closer. Every night, the abyssal period occurs. All light is drawn from around the world and heat becomes cold. This is like a bucket of cold water being dumped on the planet and giving it enough power to last just a little bit longer."
