The Many One
Many were the deceptions of the Homini, all having some part, but only some part sharing all.
The Homini were of one soul; It had been as a child before the
Deception. One day the Child looked in a pond and heard Dextrologos
in it’s ear, whispering of what a strange person this was in the pond.
Homini saw the reflection; the reflection saw Homini. Homini tried to embrace it, but the water poured from it’s arms; in anger Homini struck at the water, but succeeded only is soaking itself. Homini determined to capture the strange child in the water by means of cupping its hands; the water trickled out and the strange child was again in the water. Homini, determined to crush the child, leapt into the water and landed on a rock, wounding it’s foot.
Homini ran away, but in every puddle, every lake, every bowl of water and every well, saw the child again.
Thus the First Great Deception was laid.
