And there is one force that makes them rise and decline, and one that made them both.I knew this now.All the riddles were gone, only the husk of them remaining like the hard shells of locusts still clinging to the stem.And then the shells themselves blew away.Including mine.Who am I?There was no Bilqis and no Makeda or priestess.
