Little child, it would have been better if you had stayed in the fire. You have nothing of your mother but her sad human form. You are the son of a blinding but cruel light, and you'll have to live in a world of pale and anguished darkness, of corrupted flesh, of sighs and fevers - everything comes to you from the Radiant. The same light that made you will search the world, implacable, and everywhere it will show sadness, the plague, the misery of the things. The snakes will watch over you.
