my whole life is mine, but whoever says so will deprive me,
for it is infinite.
Amun grinned, pleased to see Clem so excited. ”I have that effect on people, swift.” Winking at the boy, the potter’s smile stayed in place even as Clem’s own happiness disappeared. ”And what was it they wanted?”
As Amun tilted his head, he gave the boy a considering look. ”I’m not saying he’s not a stupid, wimpy, sucky person who deserves your scorn. I’m saying it’s important to get the whole story before we make judgments.” The grin gained a wicked edge. ”Besides, there aren’t enough of us Ascended to fight amongst ourselves. Gotta fight the whole world first.”
Letting out a chuckle at Clem’s words, the potter nodded. ”Total bullshit, swift.” He nodded again at the boy’s question. Then, however, Amun’s eyes narrowed. ”It’s pronounced sed. Es ey ai dee, sed.” Reaching out, he snagged a journal and a writing implement, tilting the page so that Clem could see. ”Ey ai is a tricky one, though.” The potter wrote down the two letters, then circled them. ”Can be pronounced like eh, as in said, ey, as in raid, or aaah as in plaid. Probably a couple other sounds too.” For each word, he wrote it down, then drew a line connecting it to the letters in the circle. All this is assuming Common has a similar alphabet to English, of course.

by being moved I exert my empire,
making the dreams of night real
