#203:Treason
And it came to pass that Gyvann took unto him a wife, Durisa, a Machianite woman of great learning.
And Durisa bore him Golda and Nayna, Hindman and Richan.
And Gyvann was well-pleased.
And it came to pass that Durisa too grew in knowledge of the Cube and for this reason she is known as "prophet" and "holy one".
But she spoke only to the women and said: let not my words be written in the book of Gyvann, but let them be passed from one to the next as a cup of wine is poured from vessel to vessel.
But she said: let this story be my words written in the book, hard by the words of Gyvann for as I am by his side so our words will sit one by the other.
And she said: do not worship Gyvann. For is he not as all other men? Do not his feet stink, does not his hand shake, and will not his time come as that of all men? Rather, she said, worship the Cube, for it neither fades nor dies.
And she said: do not worship me. For am I not as all other women? Does not my eye fail, are not my steps slow and will not my time come as that of all women? Rather, she said, worship the Cube, for it gives birth not to three or four but to worlds.
And Gyvann said: in this matter, her wisdom is greater than my wisdom.
