[prologue]
Her ellipticcurves in the grey dusk shape the statue of a majestic shadow-figure. Her gold eyes scalp the open hillside, the moon waning above, her coat glistening
reflections, wisping at the edge of every regal strand pressed firmly against her
hardened huntress back. Her ears tune to the night, the quiet itself her guide. Her
gracious steps carry her floating down towards the valley, her presence alone
marshalling the land. She follows those familiar tracks, the scented trail a knowledge
passed down by blood, to be held, she is a keeper of this secret way. The ground isbeaten down with drought, those still pebbles in the dry clay outlined by moonlight, and
she comes to rest at a waterhole nearby that is sour and warm, her scorched tongue
welcoming each gorge and she senses the emptiness of the land. She scans the open
land as she drinks, dipping her paw into the pond to stir a fish but nothing lies under
these dark waters. The white moon lifts barren into the sky. She lifts her head back to
the hills, where the scent of fire and danger looms, the smoke and haze hanging low on
the purple sky. She senses an ant and soon she is tracking a colony of workers and
comes upon a large pit in the ground. She bats at the earth, laps her tongue along the
dry mud and rolls in the dust to scratch her back. The wind bears many alien noises and
soon only one strong fluting can be heard above all, and with each strike of the wind she
comes to understand something deeper and greater about this life though she can no
longer comprehend her enlightened senses. She sees a form in the distance, something
she has never seen before but comes to revere immediately. The thing stands erect on
two legs and makes its way with a god-like assurance along the empty plane, this, her
new master, the object of her love.

Celladore
No ordinary effort stops the wheel.In sleep it spins without resistance, passively, falling deeper, lacking more the will to
activate any change.
Years, centuries.
Millennium.Time shaping matter, shaping world, shaping men.
Nothing holds still.In my dreams it is raining and always there is fog, a glistening haze fizzing upon cracks
of white lightning. I stand on the sky, on cloud and smoke and vapour designing and twisting
the world beneath, imperceptibly shaping and hypnotizing.The world, Kaia.
Its been too long KauraMy world, my name.Everything has changedKaia is mine...You are mineYou will see
..You will be let go and see for yourselfVisions, torment, strange dreams. Smoke, a pale haze. The need for strength grows.There is another form to take.That noble form.Man.A shape held in hiding. Know the years of your cowardice. Let them go. Make an
amazing effort. Stop the wheel. Take a step, a step to change. Become a man.
A man with will.
A man with freedom.
A man with love.

A man with a heart.A hearta beat..life!Sudden.Breathe in a breath and exhale.
Awaken my eyes to a sting, a vacuous void, a cavern my home for the last centuries,
empty, a distant water trickle, a bell hum of ringing ponds and puddles. A body electrified with
muscles, blood, coursing warmth and I shiver, shaking bones.Veins, pathways, bones, structure. The complex man. Learn to walk again. Move a leg,
stiff, fall to the cold rocky ground, breathe still, register pain, feel the blood leave me, wounds,fresh, ripped flesh.Speak to myself, console.
I am alone.I am here. I am now.I am.Get up.I do.I fall again. Agony. My mind screams anguish. Poison blood flows through me. I lie still
and watch a grey film encase the darkness, shaping imagery, its thoughts. Flexing the stiff,
crippled joints of my body, trying to get up, my mind swirls with questions, darkness.
Life, is this really it? Why have I returned?You are here to be my witnessGet up, fall.This is your rhythm. Adapt to it, rise, descend. The ground is there to catch you.I move on, steps vibrant and bursting through the grand empty space, shattering the
silence of the cavern. Sound reverberates, haze engulfs, a direction is taken, old paths,
memories.
I am the disciple of my own senses, awe of this life, guide my next step, help me find my
way out.Wretched, I spit. The effects of my dreams, my body aged. I remain deep in thoughts

that bare no useful conclusions, only extending my imaginations and uncertainties. Amazed,gazing at still darkness knowing that even the blackest worlds move like everything else and
shadows take over my mind.A platform to a great moment seems to unfold in the timbre and shifts of the sounds of
my steps, my patter. Light somewhere taking effect out there in a crack in the solitude of this
fallen world, this cave I lived in as a mushroom for the last centuries, raining down, yes out
there, a fountain beam, a thin light from a broken piece in the ceiling above, or what could it
be? Is this imagined?
I move towards it, my eyes seeped with the images the light lays upon them, the first
light upon my eyes in a thousand years.
I see.I see myself.Who is this here, this man of bones laden to skin and of no will and constant surprise?
You are unequipped for this world. Let me show you. You made a mistake to leave the world
and betrayed us all, turned man on himself. Have a look, just, one by one, each well defined
particle welcomes your sight and your understanding, your witness. Take account. See the
shapes form, distinct, men, crowds, places, cities. Wars. History. Violence and great power. The
men you taught, your warriors, the Maneche, watch them fall. Did you expect them to follow a
dead man? Time passes, man survives. Do you survive Kaura? Or do you lay down and die?Hear the words of history.See the sights.Bear the consequences.Stop a section of time and become a part of it.Listen
Understand.You are not a part of these events.A world apart, observe, a crowd made from light forms gathers around a man who
speaks, proclaims, bestows the path of their future. He speaks, they cheer, celebrate, look at
each other, and his words fill the air, and mans history is about to change, and this is the
moment and all will make it known that this was the day.
Dances, laughter, songs. Mans greatness is praised.

bursts away and I fall back onto the hard rocky ground hearing an echo, Celladore,Celladore, and all goes black.

Symphony Winds
Winds in symphony chorusplay soundly and with smooth precision intunes of the forest nearby his window. The young boy, Alistair, listens. It sounds much
like the winds of Andorra, his old home, but here in Magaree he knows to think
otherwise and he listens a little more closely.
"A true conductor creates the wind song by isolating certain sounds in nature,"
he was taught. "Then he finds a way to get everyone else to hear his song. These are thewinds of Kaia."
Chaos, uncertain melody, sudden and halting crescendos. The roughest winds,
cold dark night and nature in its true form. These were the winds he was told about,
upon which each night he builds a song searching always for that one eluding note that
would make his songs complete but all threads fall apart, and every night the multitude
of sounds remain mixed and poorly arranged, and he loses himself in simple sounds and
thoughts, in the neat hum of the belling metal frame of the hut in which he sleeps
alone.
Out the window is the crisp air and the promise of spring, a cloudless sky and the
great void beyond stirring the depths of his imagination and anything he thinks ispossible. It makes him uneasy, darker than usual. He watches the haze slink above the
tree-line, stretching up to the star-speckled sky and swirling into shapes that soothe his
eye and make him feel numb.
Songs fall apart, notes become meaningless.
Anything he can give means nothing, anything he was ever given, life, love,
becomes worthless.
That is the tone of his one true song and always he cannot help but become lost
in the skys endless wonders. They say he is alone and he is. They say all is darkness and
-

it is true. They say many things that a young boy is not prepared to know and one likehim left alone in this strange place, the boy, Alistair, struggles to keep his mind from
those places and turns his ears to a wall of frogs in a nearby swamp, no more thoughts
of death, no more thoughts of her and what he saw. Lock them away in a song you will
never listen to.
Outside a creature prowls in the tall weeds. A moment glorious and always for
this animal, and the boy listens to this raw spirit, instinct bound and not confused by any
freedom of choice or emotions, and he turns his heart away from the music and from
that complex infinity of untouched sound waiting for him to shape into something
meaningful for there is nothing with meaning anymore except what is to come next and
if he will live through it again or die like she did.

The CavesThe boy meets me in my dreams. Together we sit and stare
and observe.
He asks if I am real and of him I ask the same. He speaks nothing more except
that word, Celladore, and I ask him his name and he gives me a look of incredible fear
and says nothing.
I wake up calling out to him.
Boy!
Sudden, the shock of pain hits and I let out a strange bellow that echoes in the
height of the cavern, and falls back down upon me as a dark and eerie laughter not my
own. All has returned to its former state, the darkness and the only source of light that
single strung beam cutting into the black like a portal to the sky.
Trickling rings of light burn into my eyes. I breathe to the rhythm of my blood, a
pulsing cadence, slow, steady death, my mind darkened, though my chest heaves and I
am alive. Beyond the light the darkness is patched with haze that swirls in tight winding
spirals, freezing in place when I observe, conscious of me, reacting to my presence and
judgments.
...Yes I am me... it says.I am mesmerized, stiff, surging with pain. Thin legs, bony knees to carry me back
to my feet. How could this be? Did my mind turn so dark over those thousand years?
The once pristine body I held deteriorated in form, in shape, my spirit wanders these
caves somewhere and it must be found.
I rise.
Facing the stifling darkness I position my feet to hold balance, unable to see, a
hollow wind coursing around giving off the impression of echoing storms within the vast
cavern. My senses guide me step by step, somehow recalling the way. Each step I feel
-

20/60
more alive, though always one step away from death, my nimble body holding thiswithering spirit. I move along the slick rocks tempted to do something I am not prepared
to do, not strong enough yet to try, but always the possibility of using my creatureform
looms, though I know I would never achieve any form and surely disappear in the
depths of time.
I return to myself, my breaths, timing out the rhythms of these and the rest of
the cave. Lifeless, I almost hold my breath completely. In the dark I move, what life I
bring to it I cannot measure, nothing feels real, nothing is certain except the most
certain thing, and I know what has happened cannot be, and that I should not be here.
...you should have died long ago man.... you think I wanted you to miss this?....
I wedge through pillars of rock, cutting blades that graze my skin. I follow this
path squeezing through what could be an alley between walls, and I start to smell sulfur,
I feel the heat, and then the orange glow out there, and I know I am going the right way.
The lava brings heat to the alley, pouring into my bones and my skin, my heart. The
deep beginnings of this volcanic labyrinth, moving through the ancient lava tube and
entering into the primary cave, and deep below a smelting lake of fire. Watching it
churn and roll down there, the rumble around me and trembling earth, vibration shakes
me to life and the sights fill my eyes with new awe.
Moving through with caution, the cauldron`s edge inviting a slip or easy fall, the
rock unsteady and falling free. I could fall free, die, where does this will to live comefrom? Why do I go on when I know what is to come? The ground sways and rocks,
cracking, hot violence below in the cauldron, I exit the primary room through a small
tunnel, heat on my back, sweat on my forehead, into the cooling darkness. I heave forth
a breath and cough, the sulfurous air making my head light, and the haze dancing
around in hypnotic sways makes me feel like I am constantly spinning.
I reach up for a rock and prepare to climb, unsure, how high can it be. This looks a
little different. I cannot say if this was the way I entered in a thousand years ago, my
mind so far from the moment then, for it was here I came to rest and die, I never
-
7/30/2019 The Swiss Orange Project Book 1: Celladore
21/60
thought I would leave. Then again, I never thought I would succeed in winning the war.A thousand years since, even those memories remain fixed and clear in my mind.
The great evil, the things I did. Was it worth it? Something tells me no, the haze, what it
has planned for me, what is it? I am frail, weak, I look back at myself. This is how I was
when I entered here, forlorn, removed. All others basking in victory, the world was free,
evil had been vanquished. But if they knew what I did to destroy it.
...they learned soon enough....
I lift my head and see the haze playing out the images of a time long past, but I
already know this has happened, and it is why I cannot move, and the stiff flex of my
arms remains too limber to lift my body, and I weep, for I am alone in this world, and
what I have done cannot be forgiven.
...don't think I'd let you die in here old fool...
I continue breathing. Does it matter? My heart seems to beat separately from
me. All I sense is sorrow, pain. Death, looming over me, just come now.
A bomb blast from the depths below. Shaking around me. Loose stalactites fall
from above landing into the glowing pit. I turn back and stand on the edge of the
cauldron, watching them sink, watching the rock melt into a new substance, and the fall
makes so much sense, this is the only way out, and if I should die I will and if I should fly,
I shall escape this place.
...but never escape....It will be.
I jump.
Wind along my neck, heat bursting onto my toes. The sight of a fiery death, the
pain will soon be over. I close my eyes and think of falling, and who I was becomes
meaningless for it will all be swept away. I think of the winds blowing my ashes away. I
think of the earth churning my body into something new.
Something new.
A new form, a new shape. Yes this is it, this is the way, the way I`ve forgotten,
-
7/30/2019 The Swiss Orange Project Book 1: Celladore
22/60
and this is why there is hope and this is why I am still here.Death shall not take me, not yet. Flee death, live, grow wings and fly away,
before the splash into the deadly lake of fire. I fall away from this shape of a man and
into something that can transport me to the surface, and its wings appear just before
we hit the lava and with a panicked swoop I lift myself upward, a wing burning, perhaps
on fire, but this alarm is what I need to fuel the creature, and powerful gusts of my
wings lift me spiraling and out of the hot glow, into the darkness, and up above a small
point of light, and rising I see the shadow of a small boy clinging to the wall, climbing,
rising upwards with me, and the smoke dances beneath me, around me, beside me,
speaking to me words of warning, and laughing, telling me it knows me all too well.

The MonsterThe boy, Alistair, is shocked from his dreams. He looks
out his window upon a single star, an ancient relic of light that has counted down the
last night hours for eons, times that existed before him and even any creature. As it
burns away into the glowing purple sky he finally accepts what is coming, what has
already been. The history of his existence will soon be pondered by someone like him
one day, in a spray of light from millions of ages away. This is what he thinks suddenly
and it captures him in an emotion he cannot contain, a fear he has been rejecting since
he heard Nevin crawl out the window, out of his bed in misshapen creatureform, like a
child called by the night to some demonic resting place. The fear wells and burns. Dread
settles. His brother would have killed by now. By now the child had eaten.
Nevin.
Alistair lets the name float in his mind.
The sunrise turns the sky pink. He takes one last look at the nameless star that
has kept him company this night, he thinks of eternity and tries to comprehend the
distances. He casts all of his fear into the star, knowing it will one day arrive at that far
off place in consequence, and he waits for the sky to turn red before he gets to his feet.
On the cold planks he stands facing the door, which has blown open as it alwaysdoes in the roaring winds of morning. The cold, toneless moan. No cries, never a sound
from the village beyond the hill as the child would attack quietly returning at dawn with
the bodies of the dead sometimes wrapped under his arms like trophies, always smiling
and his eyes black like coals.
There were nine deaths and more by now, indiscriminate in style, all pieces
equally savoured and all meats and ages. Night the only consistent detail followed by
whatever ravenous beast was feeding on the souls and bodies of the town, and now its
spirit as the people began to fear the nights, their dreams, the darkness, until the
-
7/30/2019 The Swiss Orange Project Book 1: Celladore
25/60
existence of such evil became known across the village, an entity itself, hatred andsorrow directed at the unknown, and all the while Alistair would listen to the villagers
speak of this one, sitting in a tree or picking up loose words on the wind as they would
describe sightings of this beast and discuss its origins, most blaming the government and
technologics for letting loose on them a monster created in their labs, still others
believing the beast had come forth from the mystical forests surrounding the town.
No, none of these things. Alistair would listen with his head down, his eyes
closed. It was Nevin. It was his brother.
He spoke nothing to the child of these events, though the child would speak
often to him of his dreams, violence, blood filled accounts that he could describe in
certain detail but not comprehend. Of faces, of cries and smells. Some faces familiar,
other children he knew, of a voice he would hear in his dark dreams that would narrate
all to him in great detail, a voice that sometimes sounded like their mother's.
"But she's dead right?" the child would ask his older brother.
"Yes," Alistair would say and look away from the child telling him not to listen to
that voice and to just say "Celladore" every time it would come into his head and the
child would agree solemnly and say he would try.
"Celladore."
Alistair lips the word to himself, feeling the softness of his tongue roll along his
teeth, taking its meaning in the present. The things it used to tell him are gone, their oldinstructions left in different times to a different person. The silent anticipation of what's
to come creates a void in his mind that begins to fill with thoughts, burning questions
better left unanswered or unknowable themselves. He wills away these things, thinking
instead about how cold his feet are, then about the smell of the pine emanating from
the walls, the wind and the air, the stirring of dust at his legs from the rumbling wind.
Thoughts that might be his stir about his mind. He rejects them, the chaos, the
fear waiting to pounce on him. Just give in boy, there is nothing you can do. Footsteps in
the grass, the crunch of feet upon the dry spring ground, the drag of something in the
-

26/60
dirt. It could be anything. Try to imagine what is coming to you boy. The shape feartakes, and any indication he gives only empowers the beast, and instead of the monster
he thinks of the child inside, Nevin, and of the darkness overtaken him, and no longer
why this is, only how to pull him free once again. A craze of birds awoken in the fields
cries out and then is cut short, gobbled quiet. A ferocious gnawing, growl, sick bliss from
outside the metal hut, and Alistair looks at the doorway waiting for the creature's shape
to take form in the door frame. He reminds himself he has done this before. He reminds
himself, Celladore, and he keeps focused.
The wind batters in collisions, a putrid smell fills his nostril, his own sickness
contained in his stomach, spinning now with insects or butterflies, his legs without
feeling. A shadow forms in the doorway, an arbitrary form of darkness moving about as
if existing in some other realm beyond material and matter, the soul of all evil captured
in this foul elongated form. The stench, a blaring reek of death and blood. He can hear
chewing and clacking of jaw. He can hear whistling breaths. He can feel everything.
The wind rattles against the bolts of the open door, making the hut moan and
ring in a combination of notes that create a million different songs and the sky beyond
the open frame has taken on an orange hue as this little piece of Kaia revolves to accept
the morning sunlight.
Alistair looks on. His body vibrates, though he does not move and it is only the
spin of his blood that makes him feel like he shakes, the beat of his heart that themonster stares at through the doorway. Alistair puts his hand upon his own chest.
"This is mine," he says, looking out the door, the beast sitting in the grass, its
elongated limbs holding onto something, fabric stained red, skin, bone. There it sits,
waiting, waiting for you boy. To break, to fall apart. Deep seated in holes dug into the
depths of hell its eyes upon you, waiting to strike. You are the only one it lets see and it
is for a purpose. Look at the haze now having fallen from the sky, surrounding the beast,
and the child within consumed by this shape, nightmare, you know nothing else but
fear, and it looks on with joy. Whisper that word to yourself boy, "Celladore," and what
-

good does it do? Many will die. Many have died, and now it is your turn.Rising from the grass the monster steps forward into the pink haze of morning,
dewdrops clinging to its tumour coloured skin, grey and tightly wound to the bone,
except its stomach, which hangs heavy, dripping with slime. It steps like a ghost,
hypnagogic and surreal. Every detail of its shape is proclaimed in the rising sun and
captured in the frame of the doorway where it stands, too large to enter the hut but
without the most grotesque of manipulations of its neck, twisting it, no bones holding
this thing together, only its hunger.
Alistair looks into its eyes, locked deep into its skull, face sunken, ringed with
shadows, smoke seeping from its mouth, blood, the skin on its neck exposed and
cleaved, muscle tangled and hardened, broken through, torn and built as if through
violent thrashing, perhaps a resistance to its own movements.
Nevin, are you there? Alistair looks deeply into the monster's eyes and asks
again. A spark rises on the marble black surface. Nevin. A cloud of darkness swirls
around those eyes, pursuing the spark that rises and disappears in no perceptible
pattern.
The monsters eyes fall into its head further, deep into its brains, the sockets
emptying and its mouth cranks open, the arm of a corpse still in its teeth. It tilts its head
and bears its spindling rows of teeth and advances with its arms pressed forward trailing
the haze, enslaved by the strophe of its rhythms.The dreamlike composition of every form in this quietest part of day tests the
reality beset before Alistairs senses. The haze thickens the air, bending light and sound,
all projections of the world and creature intensified the vibration of existence spinning
wildly out of control except in the small space in which Alistair now occupies for he has
become the center of the universe.
The monster advances lush and dispomanic, grasping, the very muscles holding
its arms together stretching and snapping under pale white skin. The haze spins and
pirouettes painting sentences and images onto the air, details left to each passing
-

moment, morphing in transience to provide new gloom and piercing terror. Alistair restshis stare upon the eyes of the monster, wherein contained the shapes of its evils pursue
the spark of the mind it has invaded. He tracks the scintilla lights that flare like
supernovas in glorious bursts and are consumed by darkness no sooner than they
appear, a spark moving about in a rhythm incomprehensible to calculation or prediction,
a signature precise and cryptographic to the mindless monster incapable of discerning
such a key, a language acquired through the eternal bond of blood, brotherhood.
Alistair begins with a whisper.
"Celladore," he says in a voice soft, unshakeable.
The monster hesitates, its fingers recoiling in apprehension as if being recalled to
a world outside of its own craving. The eyes flash with chains of lightning sparks that
make the monster wail out in a bilious grunt. Its long shadow eats over the boy and he
states the word again firmly.
"Celladore," Alistair says, lifting his head high to the monster standing above him
and it grabs him by the waist, letting off a stench of breath, a final monition, and digs its
nails into his side, pain he does not feel, for his focus is still on the monster's eyes.
"Celladore," he says, peering, penetrating the darkness. He calls out for Nevin.
Alistair's feet leave the ground, being lifted, his side pouring warm blood, trickling, a
scent that pierces through all others.
"Celladore," Alistair says, lifting his hands and placing them on the snout of thebeast, pushing against its open jaw, and with one touch all of the monster's falseness is
revealed, and Alistair is dropped to the ground and the monster lets off a stomach
churning cry and falls to its knees, ripping at its eyes, tearing away its own flesh until all
that's left is a skull with black ooze falling from its sockets.
The room burns with ashen grey smoke, the monster melts away, its tongue
falling from its mouth and onto the floor, its teeth bursting apart into a dispersing grey
smoke that retreats through the door and collects with the rest of it out there hanging
in the sky, tainting the variegated lambency of the risen sun with a twisting fog.

"Celladore," Alistair chants in a lowly voice, his lips barely parting.Particles of smoke glisten, miasmic film scattering into droplets, individual
specimens each typical and bose, of no power or effect and animating the air in speck
kindles that lie still like dust untouched, left to hang in a formless curtain.
Alistair lies and watches the monster's eyes flame, its flesh burn from its bones
and boiling, and still it pursues him, reaching out its arm until the bones and muscles are
broken free and it falls to the ground on fire, and the monster falls down and Alistair
watches the fire eat away at it until nothing is left except the ashen body of the little
child within, Nevin, and he coughs and turns to his side, his eyes wide, looking back at
Alistair, and his black eyes sink in, and Alistair looks back upon him saying "Celladore"
until they both fall asleep.

Welcome to Meke Cove
Up in the clouds. Surging through vapour and the light electricity of thehigher planes of Kaia. I burst high and penetrate the last stand of her reach, and up in
the ethereal darkness between here and the great void beyond I have risen.
From these heights I peer down on a world below that looks similar to what I
remember, cratered hills and volcano heads boiling silently in raising pillars of smoke
that ascend and dissipate into a thick film. The mountains at my back lead to the land of
Meke, a land separated by chains of volcanoes and ridges.
I am on constant alarm, the creaturebody I inhabit driven with an intense fear. I
should not be here, this is too high, there is something wrong with this air. Many
messages, my human mind transforming simple sensations into words and descriptions,
upon which I must decide, and constantly catching each decision to dare not fall into the
grasp of this body's instinct, for that would be the end.
Descending, flattening my wings and turning into the clouds, the smog, the taste
of it upon my beak sticking and I feel infected. I press through the fog quickly, diving into
a tight shape that compresses against the air, and I am pulled to the earth. In the last
clouds of smoke I get a broken glance at what occurs below and what I see is not
something this beast can discern, and it registers slowly, in bits and pieces that a natureas direct as a creature's can fathom, though this constant fear becomes nameable, and
this is it, this is the world you wanted me to see.
Describe to you the things I see. They do not move like creatures, nor is their purpose
so noble and true. They gleam like silver against the sun, and their blades are sharp like
diamonds. They cut through everything, all that remains, and this is what I see, the
falling, the green land being pillaged for its life, its goodness. Not good enough for man,
the natural form was never so, and this is what I feel, take control, look at it and know

The Manache has failed. The harmony is broken....It never was and you never had a chance....
They are all dead.
...Yes...
Who killed them?
...They killed themselves...
How can this be?
...You left them old man... You left the world when it still needed you...
...Welcome to my world...
...Brace yourself...
For wha--?
I slam into the earth with magnetic force, the pain and sudden shock breaking
bones and cracked, the skull of the creature. I land, dust swirling around me, ash upon
my feathers. I lay in the trembling earth looking skyward. Billow mist upon the likely day
sky, up above a white sun barely breaking through, dormant and far away. I breathe
quick breaths, and turn my mind from this body and this pain, and think to the most
familiar things, and the shapes I know best, what they are is always easy to find, for this
is who I am, a man, and my name is Kaura.
With a burst my shape emerges, bones exploding into place, sinew encased,
glossed with skin. Legs lifting me high. A chest giving birth to a larger heart and the firstbreaths of air to enter me absorb into my newly formed lungs. I breathe out, a skull fully
formed, eyes seeing, filling with tears. My ears are enraged with a psychotic shrill
violence. The land shakes, the ground wails.
I turn.
Elephantine jumbo. Prodigious mountain of steel looming above me, dotted with
red little eyes that glow electric. It whirs. It lifts arms of spinning blades.
I run.
Fields of them! I narrowly pass through the cutting arms of steel and the falling

trees. Rumbling, the earth guides me with a rhythm to follow or die. Passing through,the sounds swirling in my head, the ring and tumble. The soles of my feet surge with
pain and my knees fill with liquid. I jump off the path and into a black pool of ashen
earth, and I sit, observing the finely tuned process, the perfect mechanics, the purpose
is clear, take all of it. I crawl backwards, to a higher vantage point and watch the earth
being shaped into a new form, one much like I had dreamt and I lift myself from the
black dirt and look onward and before I become afraid I turn away and move towards
the beach and the ocean beyond.
I move through paths lead by heaps of broiled wood, blackened death. My mind
withdraws into memories, distant images of what was once a lush forest full of life. The
fantasy holds me captive with its beauty, its energy. I look up at the sun which in all
realms of my memory has always looked the same. A timeless thing, endless in its power
to conquer time, death, the keeper of our time, mine. The choice is not my own.
Black oozing earth, the rolling ground beneath my feet. I sense all anguish, and
absorb it, and it turns quickly to anger, fear. Casting away thoughts, cursing to myself.
Unsteady steps along a barren hillside. From the earth itself shoots great beams of light,
vivid passionate colours, lambent, intense and entranced with radiance. I peer into the
light and down and into wells of churning fire and electricity, friction and waves, and the
hair on my neck rises and my skin tingles. I move away, suddenly conscious of a great
magnetism taking place beneath the ground.Structures rise on the horizon. Large steel boxes gleaming with light, electrified.
No men or creature, only metal, gears turning and harmonized march, eloquent and
cold. Every sententious detail extended definitive power, attention, the creatures of
these things have mastered the world in a way I could never have conceived but
immediately understand.
I will receive you world, I will try to comprehend.
Signs printed in language I cannot understand, lines drawn straight and narrow,
beautifully written, the language seems like a new version of one used in Andorra, the

world's center and greatest place, and they are everywhere, giving off stern warnings,but only pieces remain, "edge", "off", "no!". Carved into the earth beacons of electric
light line certain areas and invite my sight, I turn my eyes, I break my attention, every
second there is a division of my being into a small portion, ever insignificant. A voice
echoes around the hills, seeming to come from the sky, a deep coarse command in a
new language, "leave!", "danger!", "welcome to Meke Cove!". My eyes to the earth I
walk, each careful step, towards the cove, towards the beach, towards all of my
questions.
My feet pass along the dry earth and up and down the rise and fall of the bending
hills. I look up. Columns of streaking light blazing high into the sky. Not even their size
amazes me, not even the shock of such an existence of wonder made by man's hands.
Creation, the beauty of it transforms in me into an ominous dread. I feel like I am in
another world and then I remember, I am.
Natural wonders, are these? Yes they are. Manmade, and man is nature. I look as
I march into the light, to this city, this mega capital.
More signs, welcoming me. Meke Cove it is. I am whipped and turned by the
sensation of living things, all around me suddenly, condensed in this ball of light,
"Welcome to the City". I lift my head to the sky, transfigured into crystal incandescence,
and false stars are laid upon the surface, lustrous and radiant, aflame, blazing and
polished. The city blushes with brilliance, structures laid upon each other, one by one upto the clouds and beyond. The tallest sits near the shore beckoning admiration, yet they
all do, and the most beautiful is placed in the center, ornamental, crystal ice boulder
shaped like an egg, and the letters TAS are impressed upon every surface eminently.
I look on in awe, climbing the side of a steep incline, the stretching landscape
around me lit up and all the signs read, "Fall! 2000 Leaps!"
This is the cliff's edge.
A city out there, alive, and here I sit on the curving line of death waiting for it to
converge into a form I can welcome. Is this it? Is this what I am here to see? Impressive

shapes and beautifully dancing light? I am a great warrior and I have conquered worse,but the power I had then is gone, given up to this dream world. My imagination goes
wild, my thoughts spin and my focus is weak. What a world, what a place to be.
I move to the edge and look down. Trees speckling below like little ants, the same
as the people and mechanical, fixed, cursory monotony, ever beautiful, ever captivating,
beguiling, somnolent, and drawn forward in a sleepwalk I step off the cliff's edge and
fall.
Pocketed in a funnel of air, I look up at the widening star sprinkled sky and
imagine flying but it does not happen, no wings burst, no change of form, I stay the
same, weak, lost in fantasy and I smile dumbly, plummeting.
Electric voices call out to me from the cliff walls.
Hold now intruder!
Falling he is in quadrant seven!
"Still too high to say its quadrant seven, could be six, better even eight! Voices
screaming from hidden places.
"Secure em all then six, seven, eight!
Go quick, speed on this man is picking up!
Indistinct, mechanized.
Hes in five! Hes in five! a voice yells.
Getting on it, got it, got it!Contact countdown ten, nine, eight...
Is this death?
"...five...four..three... pre-contact..."
"Take it forty-one..."
Uncertainty always to embrace, even at the sign of every welcome, nothing is
certain.

DevinetteThe boy, Alistair, gazes upon Nevin's charcoal coloured body, his chest
lifting slowly, rhythmic.
I am restful, calm and silent.
Alistair's eyes stay fixed. This could still be a dream, but recalling he never dreams
he suddenly springs up in horror.
Distressed he looks out the window. The sun lifted above the tree line, still
morning, still time before the village awakens. He jumps to his feet and takes Nevin into
his arms. Beneath the child, a tiny imprint clear of ash and Alistair looks at it wondering
something, but unsure how it could mean anything he turns away and puts Nevin's
sleeping body in the corner, lifting a blanket over him, chanting softly, "Celladore," and
questioning what to do next.
Tendons left in a trail along the doorway, out on the pathway. He collects the skin
and twisted severed meats. The metal hut rings as a soft wind blows, a probing gust, a
haze passing through. The small structure holds together by strings of rope the boy tied
together himself with the help of a man whose name is Essex, the only person he had
spoken to in these dark months alone in the derelict camp, the refuge of the world.
Magaree, hidden away, accessible only by hidden tunnels and a magical forest, thedevinette, and it is there he must go to hide these pieces, away from the search parties,
the noses, the crazed loved ones of those taken by the newest massacre.
He looks in at Nevin who lays asleep, sediment-covered.
The dead meat in his hands, remains, no haunt of the form or identity it once
completed. He places it in his tunic, tying a knot in his shirt to contain the bloodied
meat, and he faces the incredible day that has formed and with swiftness moves down
the pathway and into the morning air.
Into a field of amaranths he walks, matins singing from the trees the songs of

waking, the songs of beautiful morning. Beyond the hills he can see a glistening lightglazing softly over the roofs of the village below, and all is well in Magaree for the time
being. Amaranths give way to other weeds and flowers growing wildly in the brush.
Bushes block the path and make him go a winding way that he marks in his memory.
Shadows multiply, beyond him standing the ageless ailanthuses with branches like
sentinels chasing away the sky, merging into the great void beyond and perhaps the
stars beyond, and the shadows entrench him and he enters the forbidden forest of
devinette.
Take the paths you are offered. Do not look up, do not listen to the whispers.
There is no wind within the trees, within the tangle.
Alistair enters the forest with a solemn face. His eyes are not dazzled by the
glowing roots of tupelos and the abies, pinacae, all the woods alive, and for a moment it
comes to silence as he enters in, the newest being, and a new balance takes form and
invites him to be initiated into its wonders.
Devinette, devinette.
He makes no guesses, no uncertainty twists him into its arms. He keeps focused,
his senses empty, he does not look back, he does not keep his eyes fixed on any
creature or plant even though they all move for him and welcome him in to their
conversations and strange words, and they speak to him but he does not respond.
He stops before a tree and digs into the earth. Soft in his hand it is warm likeliving flesh and full of insects, spiders, within his palm entire worlds of life. A tree speaks
to him and tells him he knows his pain and that he can make it right. If only the boy
would stay with them.
Alistair takes the meat from his tunic. Lumps of flesh he presses into the earth
and covers, and the trees ask him of the meaning of this sacrifice and he does not
answer. They ask if he wants to leave and he still says nothing. He walks away, he blends
into the mystery, silent, charged with the energy of a million eyes blazing into him,
incinerating and kindling his blood. They are becoming hungry, you have stayed too

long, the trees say he has given himself away, he should never have come here.He starts to run.
Duck and dodge, branches, arms, teeth. Prestige of many wonders and sights
crashing into him. He is vivid, his eyes surge and he has never been so afraid. The scent
of fear, blood, the sights of his deepest terrors. He stops and lets each present itself. He
opens his eyes to every mystery. Reveal yourself, creature, plant, unknowable terror, I
will know you, I will become your master. The eyes of a lycanthrope hit the earth when
he looks into them, the marmosets yell and hide when Alistair turns his gaze upon them.
Vatheks crumble at the sight of the boy before them, all stunned and their popping jaws
crack and the weendigos yelp and climb the trees.
All hidden, alarmed, a foreign presence with them.
Alistair walks quietly along, the soil moving beneath him, the roots of trees tickle
his soles and guide him away, telling him never to return and to never utter a word
about what he saw and he is ushered towards the light of an opening in the trees where
a gorgon stands feasting on the body of some prey, and it stops to watch him with eyes
white and face covered in bowel and blood and it smiles and bears its teeth, an
abhorrent rumble coursing from its throat, and it turns away from the foul carcass at its
feet and runs at the boy and jumps and dives towards him and the boy holds up his
hands, prepared to die.
A root from beneath the earth snaps at the creature, capturing it, and it holds ithigh for the boy to see, and the gorgon chokes up blood and spits wildly, writhing, and
calling out the forest becomes filled with chaos and every illusion of his soul faces him,
every reality, and his feet feel trapped by the weight of his legs, and he starts to sink
into the earth, his mind surrendered to the unknown, all the same, everything and
nothing at all, every potential, details and wholes, horrors and beauties. Darkness,
effervescence, places where neither exist and only a pure and unchallenged light lives.
And his body glows, his eyes go white. His blood turns weightless and clear, his
body unclouded and brilliant, exposed, all of his own hidden secrets become known. He

becomes a body of pulsing beams, shimmering, he lifts himself from the earth and risesabove and faces, the gorgon and hears its thrashing cries, squirm and struggle. The boy
no longer, the phantasm of light, Alistair, a soft golden trail of splendour at his back as
he floats through, ethereal, out of the trees, and a lucent skin lifts the shadow of
mystery from the space he occupies.
Out of devinette, and without any riddle left unanswered, he moves forward,
unhindered, creatures following out of the darkness and as far as the scattered trees
allow them. Alistair floats along a path of gillies, wandwibbow bushes of piercing orange
and blue. The quiet houses take form on the horizon. Peace upon each wet glister of air
and the haze waiting in the clouds for the moment to turn. He passes through the
village, through the yards and backs of houses, he passes along, an unnoticed streak of
light.
Quiet and still, for just these final moments, noiseless the morning paradise of
waking dreams and of perfection, a day anew, and all possible dread awaiting the
people of the town, and a scream penetrates the silence, the hush, and calm turns to
commotion, cries and hollers, bawling bellows and screech. Alistair leaves the village
and goes towards the hills and he sheds the light of his soul and his body goes dark and
his skin rises to the surface and his blood turns red and mortal.
His feet touch the grass. He walks down the hill and enters the hut where Nevin
rests on the floor and Alistair stands above him and watches his face, comparingdarkness, and seeing into his dreams Alistair falls down beside his brother and lets a
saccharine sleep fall over him, and he feels the child move next to him and press his face
against his chest and they sleep entangled, together, dreaming of life, of their mother,
of the way things were, and nothing is sweeter than falling away into such fantasy and
for a while everything is all right.

Steneker and Mayden
Stone cutting pulse. My muscles seized and bones rattled. Draggedalong the hall. I drift. Sleep comes and goes. Moving, the lights above me simmer.
Clank, voice.
Dream, awaken. Wake up wailing to the pain inside me, growing.
Knocked on the head by something hard.
Stammer.
Hear their laughter, see heads, too many of them gathered around me, watching
me, speaking in tongues.
Red light bathes the air.Crimson, pulsing every now and again. The moment stands still. Is anything
certain?
Metal gears grind, screech. I hug myself on the floor.
Stale air, electrically charged, every dim rise and fall of glow captured by my
ancient eyes. Dead, still, I lie there observing, listening to others cry out beyond the
walls, or are these the voices within I carry onward into my dreams?
devilish laughter
is it so
or grinding the gears?
happiness has left here

In my sleep always laughter and layered dreams and words and things thatno longer exist.
My home, my place. My place here on this earth, Fourchu, the isles, calling
out to me in long lost dreams, or images, playing out here in this eternity, when
the minutes pass slowly and I can no longer account for the motion of my
thoughts or my destiny.
Days, hours, minutes. Passed, the time I witness is fractured andmoves at different speeds, some moving quickly, some dragging on in endless loops of
imagination. I am moved from place to place by men who torture me along the way,
laughing cruelly and speaking of oranges and fruits and accusing me of dark purposes.
To no avail I defend myself and where I lift my hands to block they hit harder and tie my
arms around my back and punch me until I spit up blood.
Lifted alongside them, forced to walk. They hit me with sticks and force me to
walk a straight line and quote my name and upon several attempts to render any other
response than what I give them I am hit one final time in the face and falling they all
gather around me and kick at me and gouge their boots into my joints and break me up
as much as they feel is necessary.
Dull peace, rest here, but pain is much too real to keep a man sleeping.A white room made of pearls, flicker glance, a white glowing air. Smooth surfaces,
round and serene. I am calm here.
Accepting all of it, my thoughts, my pains. This is the place where it is all made
clear, and I am on display for someone and they watch outside there, speaking to me all
along, searching within the depths of my mind.

This is a room made of glass. Though I have never seen something so magical, thereality is clear and simple. Let it go, the awe means nothing, the shape.
There are two people outside looking upon you and they know that you have
finally woken up.
They mean to question you.
This is simple.
War games, the ones you know best.
I struggle with my arms. Clamped to a chair I fight and lift with all of my power. I
call upon the ancients to help me. I dig deep for all of my might.
Nothing happens.
I fall forward and try again.
A piece of wall reveals itself. Heaved forward, I watch two shadows form upon a
milky screen, dust, dramatic formation of them upon the glazing scene. Reflections, lines
blurring and worlds melded, memories holding in balance this incubate new world,
strung together only by comparisons to the distant past.
Two people enter with steps determined and properly timed, and the dance has
begun, and they can see I am ready for questioning. A woman, a man, and already they
put forth a performance, arguing, she offering to be calm and gentle, he threatening me
and lifting his hand, striking me, lifting me up by the throat calling me "oranger".
I spit in his face. He digs his thumbs into my ears.A shrill hiss enters my mind. A voice, hers, the woman's.
Calm, it says. He is doing his job and I am doing mine, and the man shakes my
head and pounds me against my chair, my head rings, he strikes again and the woman
seems to float freely into my mind, taking in whatever thoughts or images she finds
there, not my own consciousness but now hers to dwell in and she absorbs everything.
I fall forward in my chair, blood falling from my face. I look up at her eyes. Grey,
sterling whirl, finest silver. Beauty, she stands elegant and tall with a medallion strapped
loosely around her neck like the old oracles of the mountains. Beside the man, he a
-
7/30/2019 The Swiss Orange Project Book 1: Celladore
45/60
brute of general form, large, built to kill, his face emotionless and made of stone. A blowto the gut. He tells me to sit straight.
"No questions I must follow," the woman says in a calm voice.
The man stops and looks back at her.
"Follow your questions, make him talk."
She comes beside me, standing above me. A face drawn inward like a sequence
into a body that glows warmth and light, her intense spectacle makes me want to tell
her anything and I do.
"My name is Kaura," I say.
She stops me. She puts her hands on my lips. She looks deep into my eyes.
"Better look here," she says to the man at her back. She looks at me. "My name is
Steneker," she says, her dialect changing, matching mine and she smiles. She looks at
her back. "That man is Mayden." She peers deep into me. "Do not be surprised I speak
like you, do not be alarmed if the sound of my voice changes and I begin to sound like
you, I am trying to prove you are innocent so we can set you free. I do not want
anything bad to happen to you. This man with me, this Mayden, he is a bad man. He will
cut your skin off if you do not talk. That is what he does, it's what he is known for, you
probably know, you have probably heard, you have heard it from Jachimon himself have
you not? If you are an oranger you just better tell me so we can do the right thing and
you won't have to go through that. Okay? No? Nothing here for me you say. You bettergive it away old man. No one just appears on the mountains and climbs down a
government wall. Are you telling me you are a lost soul who woke up in a cave? An
ancient warrior? A maneche? This will not fly old man, this will not fly at all. I have to let
you go. Sorry, I have done the best I can," she says to the man at her back and turns
away and leaves.
The man advances, peering into me with crazed eyes. He presses something in his wrist
upon a steel bracelet that electrifies and gives off a strange noise. The walls seem to
move in, changing colours, now swirls and sudden images appearing in severe colours

and quickly moving, sped to a pace beyond reason, and violent snarls and suddensmears of blood and stain and feces and disgusting porn and all upon the sheets of my
eyes that he gouges open and makes me count with him as he slices away skin from my
arms and of the smooth parts of my shoulder joint he collects a piece of bone for
himself that he says he will keep with the rest of them and he taunts me and tells me he
knows I will never speak and that I am a liar, and this makes him angry and he throws his
knives aside and punches me in the head and spits and speaks wrath and I barely
understand his last words, and I float and life floats and I drift away to another dream
and perhaps something I can finally fathom and accept without the greatest pain.
