The Sun and Two Amber Eyes

Before the great monotheistic religions dominated the world; before mankind discovered Earth was not flat, even less, the center of the universe; before the heavens were taken by big metal birds and the seas crowded with ships; before wars were seen as something trivial, the world was already a difficult place to live in. Life is and has always been fragile. In the beginning, gold was not the main currency. At first, gold was white and crystalline and was called salt. At first, men slept through nights dominated by howling winds and were celebrated in stories, told by the fire, that today might well be called: The Pilgrim Stories In The Days Of Salt.
