“Life here beyond the Path of Death, beyond the Border Bridge, life here in Belovodye flowed in a special way. This land from the Ancient Tales, about which gray-haired Bayans and cheerful buffoons speak at auctions and in settlements, lived in its time. Here in the land of the White Waters, the true Abode of the Wise, lying far in the North from the beaten path, it seems that even the sun rose somehow differently. From the Beginning of Time, the Prophetic Elders, the Many-Wise Magi lived in this land, to this day inspired by the Prophetic Gods themselves. The Not-Alive lived in Revealed and the Not-Dead in Navi, that is why time here flowed along the Blade between Revealed and Nav. The Palaces of Belovodye were filled with knowledgeable people, called at their appointed time by the Prophetic Gods, but that period is not the same as the period of death, which for all Living Things in Reality has been determined from eternity. Belovodye was the Abode of the Un-Dead and time seemed to stand still here. Beyond the Ural Stone at the Limit of the Earth, beyond which the lands of the White Waters begin, began the kingdom of the wise men, preserved and protected by prowling animals, pecking birds, dense forests, quicksand, fast rivers, clean winds, tenacious branches, strong roots. Beyond the Ural Stone at the Limit of the Spirit, beyond which Belovodye opens, the kingdom of witches and witches began, hidden by dark ignorance, fainting blindness, false deceit, and vicious delusion. Those in the know knew that all the Wisdom that was and is on the land of Svetorussia pours out from this land. But it is in vain for those who have not found wisdom in their native land to wait for it from Belovodye. There is nothing great without something small. And even the greatest journey begins with a small step, and even the greatest fire is ignited by a small spark from a chair. And the Knowers knew that they stood on the border of Belovodye at the Bridge of the Edge, terrible wolfhounds and did not allow that Wisdom into Rus'. Because Rus' has turned away from the Perfect Ones who live there, and it will be so until those who have seen the light are found in Holy Rus', those who will find the way to Belovodye and bring the Perfect Ones “Forgive” from their lands and call them back to their hearths. And the Knowers also said that a gray cat, a servant of the Golden Goddess herself, rules over those wolfhounds, and she comes out to him from the White Island and inquires whether the people have come to their senses, whether they have returned to the bosom of the Prophetic Gods...”
