How can it be so? You wouldn’t believe it if you’d not seen it with your own eyes. There’s no way I’d ever have thought it possible. These creatures, they’re not quite the same, although there’s no reason why they can’t be. It was a while ago, now, when their type first arrived.

Dissida
The golden eyes pierced his soul, what little there was of it. He could see what the beast was seeing and he wasn’t impressed, either.
