The Soothsayer's Sons — Nicholas S. Casale

“The stone mason's secrets will be her undoing, for the egg she hatched from was not of the martyr. A man who starves crows will shatter a glass of wine, starting a fire. The idolaters have many rocks, and soon they will squabble over every pebble. Thousands of whet stones used to answer a simple question of who owns a chair and the dirt upon which it sleeps. Two thirds of a family will stand on one side of the line, the other third on the other. Dirt and rocks will clatter against steel, even the questioning brethren will join the fray. Once the idolaters have broken themselves the moon will step in, reign over the dust, alongside the warrior born in ashes. Until then, we must do what we can to keep the faith alive.”
