Quote by Rui Figueiredo

“Crinket, feeling the collective energy around him, was moved to tears. The weight of responsibility, the fear of the unknown, everything seemed to fade away, replaced by a newfound confidence. He realized that while he might be the chosen one, this quest was not his alone. Every Gurgleye, in spirit, was with him.”

“If you ask my mother whether she ever considered the ramifications of having a mixed child under apartheid, she will say no.
