->''On the fifth day, he found a corpse.''\\
''Its skull, spine, and arms poked out of the sand, stripped clean of flesh. The bones were dilapidated, cracked open where some scavengers had gotten at the marrow. Whatever clothes or supplies the person had carried were gone. Who knew how long the man had been dead?''\\
''No, not a man.''\\
''Not a woman either.''\\
''Even if it still wore flesh, the body would've been smaller than his own.''\\
''A child.''\\
''He buried the bones. Then he said a prayer for the soul of the departed, that it would find water and shade, and that it would be remembered truly. The prayer was a ritual everyone from the City of Lies had memorized, one every child spoke a hundred times before their [[TongueTrauma cutting]].''\\
''The next day, he found two more corpses. He buried them and prayed for them as well, though he felt uncertainty as he did so.''\\
''Where were the corpses coming from?''\\
''And why were they all so small?''

->'''Christine Chapel''': "They're probably hiding somewhere safe and sound. It would be ''horrible'' if they were killed. They must be safe."
->'''Janice Rand''': "Maybe the reason they haven't been found is because they've been buried under the rubble!"

->There were large red flowers growing along the edges of the walls defining the rooftop patio - a gift from one of his [[ChildMage magic children]], right before she died. "[[LickedByTheDog To help you breathe]]," she said kindly, before she breathed her last. Her lips were pale, her eyes were the color of milk, her hair had fallen out months before. He usually did not learn the names of his magic children - or anyone, really. People die so quickly when they are not enhanced, and only the [[ImmortalitySeeker Minister]] is [[LongevityTreatment enhanced]]. He has [[BanOnMagic seen to that]]. But [[PoweredByAForsakenChild the magic children, they die quicker]]. Best not to know them.
->This one, though. This one he knew. Not her name, of course, just the ''fact'' of her - that inscrutable bit of the Self that cannot be drawn or recorded or named. And after all these years, he mourned her. [[VillainousBSOD A raw, painful, immediate feeling of loss]].
