MY EYES SWAM WITH TEARS
“Do not take my chald from me.” I faced him, my back against the laced tent flap, my hands
clenched behind me.
“Crells do not wear chalds,” Chayin said flatly. “It lessens their beauty, their usefulness, their humility.
It slows their adjustment. Remove it.”
I put my hands to my chald, running the strands through my fingers. I found the juncture, took the tiny
key from its housing, and fitted the key in the lock. The ends parted. I took my eighteen-strand chald in
my palms and looked at it.
I saw the silver chain with white interwoven, that of Well Astria. I saw the six brass mixed, of my
schooling, and the Well-Keepress’ chain, of white gold set with fire gems. That one had been mine when
I was born. The others I had spent three hundred and two years acquiring. What is a Silistran without
chaldra?
I would kill him.

Replication
The dayglass, alone, posited upon the black square of controlling Will on the board of
catalysts.
As events are conceived by. all-pervading Will and brought into time by the Weathers, so are
they given spatial reality by Replication.
Replication gives instruction and molds the world in its image.
Replication has no foes, nor can a thousand • armies stand against it. There is no obstructing
the time of Replication, when the crux wind blows across the earth and all things assume their
true nature.
