For all the years we can remember, Traveler, the stars known as the Pleiades have been seen
as they cross the sky on that day.
But I have seen something, Traveler, I have seen it in my dreams... far, far in the future,
I have seen a day and a year Ome Acatl when the wise men could not see those stars from that
hill.
No, Traveler. Not because the stars themselves were not there. They were there, they crossed
the sky as they always do and always will, until the day comes when those stars themselves
must die.
No, they were there. They were there on that day Ome Acatl. But they could not be seen.
I have heard, in my dreams, the men of that time saying what that year was called in the
tongue of the people of that time. I have heard, in my dreams, the men of that time saying
why the stars could not be seen.
