“Would they love you if you were as ugly as they are now? You’re lucky your ugliness lives apart from you.”

“What do you mean?” Alais asked, but secretly she was already aware of it and shuddered inwardly. The memory of something burning and mutilated being separated from her by the fall pierced her brain with pain. It had happened! And it had not been a dream! And even if it had been, her dreams had never lied to her. In heaven in general, it was difficult to separate dream from reality. There, eternity passed like a dream. Grim reality began on earth. And dreams of magic invaded it with golden spells.

“We must show mortals what magic is!”

“Why?” A voice grows wary.

“Their lives are empty without it.”

“Mortals will not appreciate you, nor understand you.”

“But I’ll take my chances anyway.”

“And you will run into their knives.”

“I don’t think so, I’m still immortal. They are.”

“They will put you in a cage for your skill.”

“They are weak, I am strong. Only I have the power to rule them.”
