And one is red, fiery, at the base of her spine, where a tail might grow. I touch them and know them because I watch her like a man in a field stares up at the stars, and I love her constellation because it contains her story and our story, and I wonder which mole is the beginning and which is the end.”

Unfit presently for the mythical realm,
Just an insane birdie, living in a sane world.”

Everyone here knows people who were mundanes. Why should we isolate people who are brave enough to try to become like us -who want to help people? Why should we treat them as if they're less than us, until they prove their worthiness or die? I won't do it.”

“Mundil,” Adella repeated, remembering. “That was their name for the World, right?”
“Yes,” Jago replied. “It means World, but it also means Sea. To the Andolinians, they are one and the same.”
“And which calamity ruined this Temple?” Armand wondered.
Jago, in response, walked over to one of the large stone archways and reached up to clear a vine that clung to its surface. He pulled and tore it down to reveal three deep grooves that had been slashed through the rock, like claw marks from some huge beast. He turned again to face them. “It came from the water.”
“Mundo en Peligro (El Soneto)
El mundo está en peligro y la seguridad está fuera de la ventana.
Si ahora no somos humanos, ¡cuál es el punto de nosotros!
La humanidad está en crisis y la ansiedad se está volviendo loca.
Si ahora no somos responsables, ¡qué sentido tenemos!
Los barrios están llorando de miedo y desesperación.
Si ahora no echamos una mano, ¿qué sentido tenemos?
Las comunidades luchan por la incertidumbre paralizante.
Si ahora no rompemos la estrechez, ¡qué sentido tenemos!
Las naciones están jadeando para mantener la salud y la cordura.
Si ahora no nos apresuramos a rescatar, ¿qué sentido tenemos?
La naturaleza se está rebelando para reclamar su reino.
Si ahora no hacemos las paces con ella, ¡qué sentido tenemos!
Ahora no es el momento de teorizar y criticar.
Olvidando la argumentación, debemos mantenernos como una sola persona inflexible.”
