“It is a blessing to have a daughter, who may well become a mother. But the secret truth of why sons were once so highly valued has long been lost. It is a lethal secret that women once competed to produce a special form of man. They had methods which, if successful, would produce a rare child of peculiar nature.

For you see it was long understood that one in a billion men… could become pregnant… and give birth to a child in the world of sources. No one dares speak of this matter today. But long ago, this was considered the sign of divinity: a man who gave birth to a child in eternity… and this, not rights or titles, was the source of the ‘ruler’… or ‘the one who measures’… from here, we must cease to speak, for the truths ‘are too lethal to unleash upon so benighted an aeon.'”
