Well. . .

 I will tell you one tale from the Tradition at a time.

Not every day. . .    How it goes. . .

 You think they won’t want to read one a day.

Let them. . .     whatever. .               Then they won’t understand anything..

Rarely does anyone understand..

The Star and Death

The sea is especially high today. .   No one knows why. . .

It rises higher and higher every day. .

Soon everyone will drown. . .        And the House with the mountain. . .   Everything. . 

I knew why back then. . .   .  He told me. . .    I don’t see him. . .    only hear his voice sometimes.

It is my father. . .    .      He was killed a long time ago. . .      I was a little girl at that time. . .   I’ve been hearing him ever since. . .     .

He said that the earth will go under the water and no one should be saved. . .         

That’s what These want. .

I don’t have to save myself. . .    Because I have the semen of This in me. .    My father doesn’t know how to tell me this. . .     but I know I have to drown with everyone else. . .    .   Then the future child of This one will die with me. . .    .

If I am saved, then he will be saved, and that cannot be allowed. . .     Otherwise, the semen of These will stay on the earth.

The water had long since flooded the lower levels of the house and some other snakes had appeared there. .      I’ve never seen such snakes before. . .           They are climbing up the stairs. . .      They’re probably afraid of drowning, too. .

Water floods our level as well. .    We are standing on tiptoe. . .     You can still inhale through your nostrils. . .  

There are three of us. . .     All three years old and a little over. It’s like nine years for you. .

This one is on the top level. He took the three youngest girls with him, and locked us and the others in here. .

The smaller ones have already drowned. . .   We are the last. . .

Snakes are swimming around. . .       Rushing back and forth. . .

They can float through the windows to the outside and back.   We can’t – the windows are too narrow.

The biggest snake swam around me for a long time. . .     Then she stopped and looked me straight in the eyes. . .    even deeper. . .   where the soul is, I guess. . . 

She says she loves me and wants to bite me so I won’t suffer. . .    but she shouldn’t do it.

I must die myself, so that the baby in me will die with me. . .

Otherwise it’s all in vain. . .

She just looked at me until I choked. . .    .

                                                                     .  .  .

I am now the Commander-in-Chief of the entire Universe’s fleet. . .    .

These are old memories of a Snake looking into my eyes. . .     and I’m dying. . .

In some of past lifes. .

These?

They survived again. . .    And again we will have to die so that they do not exist.

That’s why our entire fleet was created to find and destroy the Semen of This. . .     and all its carriers. .      .

Well, you know that the carriers are Earthlings. . .    So we are looking among them. . .

Scanning male semen from distant orbits is the last thing that’s been invented. . .

Almost all were destroyed.     .  And I’m dying again. . .

The main thing is to have time before the end of the Big Cycle. . .    Then it’s not for nothing. .

And Death wants to tell me something again. .
