Excerpt from (Translated from the original Ant by Rumi Mosquitoswallow)

Caldera has ever been thus:

Creatures of sun

Creatures of moon

Separated by veils of dawn and dusk.

[Only the ants walk both day and night...and are despised for it.]

Fear is an eager rule maker, and these are Fear's rules:

To cross the veil is to be

Unnatural

Aberration

Abomination.

To walk in the wrong half of time is to be worthy of death.

What, then, will happen...

to those animals...

born during the eclispe?
