TALES

Bruce Wayne’s story ended with the image of a child resting in his father’s arms. Once Bruce finished talking, everyone turned and looked at Captain Nootra. After hearing his story, they could now discern the tenderness of his person so openly portrayed in the Tales. Captain Nootra was revealed not only as the one chosen to uphold Civilization Nootra, but even more as a child who depended on his father’s affections for his happiness. Chris yearned to share that warmth he heard so much about in the past seven hours. He left the arms of Bruce Wayne and rushed into Steven’s, now revealed as the gentlest person in the world.

When Bruce Wayne first introduced the story as Tales of Captain Nootra, his audience mistakenly thought he was going to recount the exploits of this one. Surprisingly, those were the parts he left out. Instead, he narrowed it so that much of it was the father-son relationship and the ingredients that seasoned it. The one thing which kept coming up in the story was the son who was loved by his father making Steven’s life the life of someone who continually said yes to his father’s love. This response made him and Bruce, and those in their circle live a holiness, which was out of this world.
