<p><em>&ldquo;Of course not, my dear.&rdquo;</em> It gestured back through the window, where its partner sat, reading. <em>&ldquo;They do not enjoy hearing me talk of that time in our lives.&rdquo;</em></p>
<p>Codrin frowned. &ldquo;I think I know the answer, but should I interview them?&rdquo;</p>
<p><em>&ldquo;Please do not, Codrin. I do not want to bring up painful conversations of the past, nor do I wish to you to learn all that they know from a single source.&rdquo;</em></p>
<p>&ldquo;Ioan mentioned that May Then My Name has been cagey around her past as well&ndash; No.&rdquo; Ey held up a hand to forestall a comment from Dear. &ldquo;You don&rsquo;t need to defend her, or yourself, for that matter. I won&rsquo;t push you for more history. I would, however, like to hear your reasoning for these decisions.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;I understand.

I won&rsquo;t push you for more history. I would, however, like to hear your reasoning for these decisions.&rdquo;</p>
<p><em>&ldquo;For withholding information?&rdquo;</em></p>
<p>&ldquo;For withholding it, yourself. It seems as though you want us &mdash; you as in the Ode clade, us as in the Balan clade &mdash; to discover things on our own. Why?&rdquo;</p>
<p>Dear stuck a paw out, palm up, beneath a downspout and the steady stream of water that flowed from it, letting the water soak into its fur. <em>&ldquo;There are parts of our past that I am ashamed of. May of my cocladists are, as well. You could interview any one of us about the entirety of our story, even me, and we would tell you, but we would also resent you for that.&rdquo;</em></p>

<p>&ldquo;Did you leave a fork behind on the L<sub>5</sub> System?&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;No,&rdquo; he said. A finger rose tiredly from the upraised hand. &ldquo;The word of the <span style="font-variant: small-caps">Lord</span> came to me: O mortal, turn your face towards man&rsquo;s iniquity in the heavens and prophesy to them and say: O cruel men of machinations, you have broken your treaties with the earth which God has set before you, and though it be the doing of the few who are one, leave now the world of your birth that it be washed clean of your sin. You may have hoped for the life as gods of the false idols, but the heavens are no longer for you for such arrogance.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Codrin remembered the admonition to be kind and patient, to be careful, and so ey sat in silence, as seemed appropriate.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Those who sought to build their temple continue here, yes, and continue there, but judgement will yet come to them. I have seen the fire encased in flame and the sun&rsquo;s eagerness to send us on our way, and that is my reason for leaving them behind, and I am to lay here for three hundred and ninety years, arm outstretched to the System, and live off the cakes of wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and emmer, until perhaps we cross the threshold of the firmament.&rdquo;</p>

<p>&ldquo;We diverge, Codrin Balan. We of Castor and Pollux. The prophets diverge and so to the prophecy. How can two divergent prophecies be true? And yet they must, for the voice of the <span style="font-variant: small-caps">Lord</span> has given us the scroll as sweet as honey, and our minds must be as one, though they be as split as the broken one.&rdquo;</p>
<p>When the speech appeared to have concluded, Codrin bowed eir head. &ldquo;That answers many of my questions, Ezekiel. You speak of the few who are one. Do you mean the idea of clades?&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Yes. Some are the many who are one. Jonah, who is many that are one. Michelle, who is few that are one.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Ey once more remained quiet, mind churning over what seemed to be the root of the Ode clade. Michelle? Breaking the treaties with the earth which God set before her? Michelle, who left the world of her birth? And who was this Jonah?</p>

<p>&ldquo;Are they on the System as well?&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Yes.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Ezekiel once more turned his gaze toward the sky, supposing that that is where the abandoned planet must lie. &ldquo;No. The <span style="font-variant: small-caps">Lord</span> has put cords upon you, so that you cannot turn from your path. Your twin and your root shall, but you must seek out one borne of her, and you must seek out more of the eight who were to guide but not govern, and you must seek out Jonah, and you must see to your loved ones.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Codrin nodded, scratching out the list of names &mdash; if names they were &mdash; in eir abrupt shorthand. &ldquo;What should I ask them?&rdquo;</p>

<p>Codrin nodded, scratching out the list of names &mdash; if names they were &mdash; in eir abrupt shorthand. <em>Ioan and Codrin#Castor would get to talk to True Name, apparently. I&rsquo;ll get one of her up-tree instances, more of the Council of Eight, and this Jonah. Loved ones&hellip;Dear, perhaps?</em></p>
<p>&ldquo;What should I ask them?&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Ask them what you asked me. Each shall give you a different answer, and when they are brought together, you may see the past and write your poem, poet.&rdquo; His arm began to waver, and then dropped once more to his side. &ldquo;I am tired, Codrin Balan, and I must eat and drink.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Ey nodded and stood, folding eir notes and capping eir pen. &ldquo;Thank you, Ezekiel. I hope that you enjoy your meal.&rdquo;</p>
<p>A final rattling laugh, and the arm fumbled to the side where a flat cake had been cooking atop a pile of what looked like smoldering dung. Once more, his voice lost the edge of prophesy and became more cogent. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s vile stuff, but I&rsquo;ll try.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Ey nodded and stood, folding eir notes and capping eir pen. <em>Much as Dear said,</em> ey thought. <em>Combine the sources for a more clear picture.</em> Ey said, &ldquo;Thank you, Ezekiel. I hope that you enjoy your meal.&rdquo;</p>
