And there is the Great Black and, strewn across it, small and surrounded and vulnerable and brave, there is the Great White.ĬOMMUTER: Oh. Do you see? That is called the immense board of lights. He’s a warrior who fights for the Great White (creation, existence, light) against the Great Black (destruction, nothingness, darkness).Īs Kapela and the commuter lie dying under a starry sky, they have the following exchange: But basically, there’s a teleportation accident in which an average commuter finds himself fused with a gigantic space-traveling horse creature named Kapela.
