"I swear to you, God’s truth, that the little voice entering my head from very, very far away helped me to guess. The little voice knew that my body couldn’t reveal everything about me to me. God’s truth, the little voice understood that my body was ambivalent about me. I swear to you that my body without scars is a strange body. Wrestlers, warriors have scars. I swear to you, God’s truth, that the body of a wrestler without scars is not a normal body. That means that my body can’t tell my story. It also means that my body, and it’s the little voice from very, very far away that says so, is the body of a dëmm. The body of a devourer of souls has a good chance of being free of scars."
