The Quest of Kadji

Prologue

ZAO, Olymbris, Thoorana, Zephrondus, and great Guizund …

These are the five worlds that circle

The star Kylix in the constellation of the Unicorn.

And now of Guizund would I speak.

No eye but mine has seen her whispering plains,

Her ebon cliffs, her dragon-guarded shores.

But I have voyaged thither in my dreams,

And watched the Red Hawk ride to the World’s Edge,

And from my voyaging, bring back this tale …

Song of Worlds,

from

CHRONICLES OF KYLIX, the Fifth Book.
