“Sabes muy bien que soy orgullosa... ¡Ah! ¡El orgullo es mi desgracia, lo confieso! ¿Me ha robado la mariscala de Fervaques tu corazón? ¿Ha hecho por ti todos los sacrificios que hice yo, arrastrada por mi fatal amor?”

“What? Are there two of them?” she asked. “Are we being invaded?” I laughed, but it was an understandable question given what she had just learned. “No, there is only one GERI. It’s something else.

― C.A. Knutsen, Tom and G.E.R.I.

“No one knows the origins of the universe. Gone was the knowledge of creation; lost to faded memories and the advance of time. History became legend, legend became myth. It is said the gods, flawless emperors of all, opened their hearts and gave life to hundreds of worlds. That love nurtured and evolved into utopian grandeur. Humanity prospered, every day reaching new heights. But all was not well. The gods were unhappy. War loomed ever on the near horizon. Realizing their plight, the king of the gods gave birth to three sons; would be kings to rule.”
