Uncle Kurt reappeared, and for then the Dictionary would not be necessary because I would
never end to read the book of Nimrod: the narration of Uncle Kurt, and the events that
occurred later, prevented me inevitably to do so.

The psychological effect that the letter produced in Uncle Kurt had to be very intense
because, as result of its reading, he demonstrated then a very notable psychical change,
undoudtedly a psychosomatic product of the received impression. With a few words, by the
aspect that my Uncle presented, he seemed to have regressed many years in those ten days, he
was much younger, showed a posivite and communicative character that I didn’t know before. I
suspect, and I don’t believe to be very wrong, that the thirty three years passed in Santa María
had irritated his temperament normally jovial, and caused that aloof and pessimistic
personality that I warned when I arrived to the Ranch. The personality of who don’t trust too
much anymore in the fulfilment of the Gods’commandements and waits resigned the
resolution of the Death. Thirty three are many years to wait in Catamarca, I comprehended that
better than anyone, and I seemed me logic that the change was justified, even that it was
predictably, each time that the letter of Belicena Villca covered his expectatives postponed for
many years. Because it was clear, because the same had confessed, that his instructions for the

post-war, «instructions of the Gods», obeyed him to remain in the same place, and that my
arrival carrying the letter, and the alleged and imminent Druids’ attack, constituted proofs that
such waiting had almost ended.

–In reality, neffe –was the first that Uncle Kurt told me, confirming my presumptions–
is not the letter what have affected me up to an extreme that you can’t imagine, but the
Mystery of Belicena Villca, what was hidden behind her real existence and that now unveils in
front of us. From the letter, neffe, of its content, it is possible to assume a merely intellectual
participation; but of the Mystery that the letter and the death of Belicena set forth, and the
Mystery of the House of Tharsis, it is not possible to stay excluded without remaining out from
the Strategy of the Gods.

The Mystery has reached to us –here Uncle Kurt, decidedly, was included in my
adventure– and we can’t neither we must try to elude it. Now, that the kairos permits, it is
necessary to reach to the end, till the Tyrodal Order, till Nimrod de Rosario, till Noyo of Tharsis
and the Wise Sword, till the Final Battle.

I assented with a gesture, still surprised by the firm and solidary attitude of my Uncle.
He continued, surprising me one more time.

–Look Arturo, I’ve thought in these days more that you can suppose, evaluating the
occurred events and calculating each step that must be realized in the future. Through this
global-strategic analysis, that soon you’ll have the opportunity to know in what consists as I
