6. Where shall we begin?
"You begin where you are, in your home village of Null, the first village of the Zem tribe. At the end of the Harvest Festival, the Holy Seer conducts the First Rite of Adulthood in the sacred longhouse for all who are eligible. He takes the ashes from the bonfire and traces circles around the eyes of each who undertakes the ritual. Then he covers his own face with ashes and dons the Eye Bracelet [gold eyeglass frames]. He chants. Then he instructs. Before he sends you off on your Quest, he parts a curtain of seashells revealing a tall cabinet. From it he distributes cubes of translucent orange, advising you to hold them by the stick that protrudes from each one. Then he licks it, commanding you to do the same. From that moment on, you have been inducted into the First Mystery of Maturity and initiated as a Contender for Adult Status in the tribe of Zem. May your Quest be fructuous."
—Fernettica, Chief of the Zem in Null
