“So how come there are so many Sprites?” asked Sprite. “So many copies of me, and yet there was only one Spectre?”
“You’re a character in a children’s book,” replied Yuffie. “Read by millions of parents to their young ones. Your original author’s passed away. Many will remember you. Many will tell their children stories of you. You’ll be remembered for generations. A little piece of your creator will live on, in the millions of Sprites that you’ve met.”
“The book Spectre was in,” sighed Lucy, “never got published.”

Little Fears 
Poor Spectre! I feel for him. I also fear my characters – Dragon, Cleric, my Old Dwarf, and the rest – will meet the same fate.

I know what you mean. We create all these characters, but if they don’t get read, where do they go? Food for thought, or another story!

Looking back, pre-fears, I’ve also got a lot of characters who will meet the same fate.

There are always some characters it’ll happen to, right?

Yes indeed. I’m afraid I’ve killed characters, too!

Eep! Specter is just the memory of a fail!

Well, where do our unpublished characters go when we’re gone?

Maybe Spectre’s author read the draft of the book to someone, or lent it to a friend?

I’m afraid, in Spectres case, the book hasn’t been shared.
