Summary:We do not breach the void, his mother said, when he was a boy and new to such things.
We do not breach the void, the Elders said, when he was an adolescent, weak though he thought himself strong.
We do not breach the void, his father said, when he had reached the flush of manhood, stout and brave and unafraid.
But Erik cares not for their words. He has spent a lifetime staring into the void, into the startlingly blue eyes of the boy on the other side.
We do not breach the void, the songs say, but Erik doesn't listen.
