Sword: the Wise Sword of the House of Tharsis.
                      Dogs: the dogs daivas.
                      Fowls: the Virgin of Agartha, and every Kâlibur Lady, whose Infinite Blackness devour
               the light of the Souls.
                      Beasts:  the  Berserkr and the  Ulfhednar, i.e., the Bear-Men and the  Werewolves, of
               Stone Frya.

                      And of nothing served them in this opportunity, the «remedies» proposed by Bera: the
               Peace of the Gold: the Illusion of the Rage; the Illusion of the Earth; and the Illusion of Heaven.
                      We had won the struggle against the Demons, but never again, until today, I saw Uncle
               Kurt again.



               Chapter XVI


                      Then occurred the phenomenon that I have decided to exposse apart, due to I didn’t find
               a  convincent  explanation  for  it  yet.  As  I  said,  I  was  still  looking  at  Heaven,  towards  the
               Southern Cross and thinking in the things that I mentioned, trying to dominate the nostalgia
               for the departure of Uncle Kurt, trying to overcome the nervious depression.
                      The hit was violent, overwhelming, in the center of the skull, some centimeters above
               the place where Uncle Kurt applied me  his accurate  kickback. I felt fulminated to the floor,
               seeing stars which were not prescisely product of an alchemistic process, but conscious that
               something  had  fallen  from  Heaven  upon  my  head,  something  of  small  size  and
               considerable weight. I incorporated, still astonished, and began to search around with the aid
               of lantern. I didn’t delay to find the projectile, cause of the bump which painful effects lasted
               many days and which scar I conserve: as is easy to imagine, it was a stone.
                      But shuch was a stone artistically carved, and resulted evident that belonged to a major
               set, from which fractured. Was the hand of a child of Stone, mutilated at the height of
               the wrist which expressed the Bala Mudra, the Inner Salute of the House of Tharsis:
               the  index  and  thumb  fingers  were  stretched  forming  the  straight  angle;  and  the
               middle ring and pinkie finger, were flexed over the palm of the hand.
                      When I found the hand of stone, I remembered instantaneously the Thirty-third Day of
               the Letter of Belciena Villca, and then I verified rereading such paragraph once and again: in
               that day Belicena narrated the extermination of her Lieneage realized by Bera and Birsha, at
               transmuting the not Initiated members of the House of Tharsis, as the ones of the family, in
               bitumen of Judea. Was then when the Noyo, Noyo de Tharsis, arrived to the church of the
               Virgin of the Grotto, in Turdes, to rescue the image of the widespread pillage of Lugo de Braga.
               And  was  at  fulfilling  this  mission  when  he  verified  that  to  the  Child  of  Stone  had  been
               amputated the hand that expressed the Vrune Bala. But such disappearance occurred in
               the XIII century, seven hundred years before: when at least it seemed adventurous, to
               not  say  absurd,  to  relate  this  fact  with  it.  And  nevertheless,  against  all  the  logical
