I Lost My Arguments, With the Gods

I lost my arguments, with the gods and sage man Apolinar, decided to leave, whose humbleness should be immortalized, as it deserves, by those who have been touched by him. Though, he never asked for an epitaph, to be engraved, in his beloved islands, yet I, being disobedient and predictable, I changed his thought, with help from his charmed rice wine that I shouted in despair--- “O children of Apolinar, let it be known to y’all, that the sage man decided to leave; neither be dismayed nor be saddened, instead, rise on your feet and go--- sail from island to island, spread his legacy. He was a good citizen of the islands. And, the best thing of all, he was my dearest father... and I cherished him, more than the gods!”
