Success

For the Prester

Peacocks strut behind the bars [...]. Nightingales pour golden notes[...]. Robins [...], and bluejays [...], and topaz canaries [...], each more mellifluous than the bird before. They sing together [...] as they will sing for the Prester himself in Nidah at their journey's end.


Failure

For the Prester

Eagles enchained. Peacocks leashed. Blackbirds captured to bake into a pie. [...] Perhaps the creatures know their destinies. Perhaps that's why they flap their wings and thrash against the bars. [...] Claws scratching for liberty beyond their reach.
