Hence, the calendar wheels continued its inexorable march and Night Eagle quickly learned the art of fishing, weaving nets and sail in small coastal vessels. His learning ability was surprising, seemed he already knew and just remembered.
Marine Snake and Night Eagle became great friends, shared work and entertainment alike. Marine Snake felt a great admiration and respect for his friend, who was slightly older than him. For its part Night Eagle had found in Marine Snake, more than a friend, a family and a foundation in which to settle, as his inability to remember his previous life was complete.
Despite while everything was developing harmoniously, in those hot nights, when all the people slept, Night Eagle remained awake in his hammock, fighting against the fog wall which prevented him to see its past. As an obsession stalked him, preventing him from fully enjoying everything he was living in this wonderful place and people, nice and simple, which had received him fraternally with solidarity, adding him without distinction, as one more, of the everyday life of the people.
One evening, when anguish seemed it would explode the chest of Night Eagle and the fog wall smothered, Night Eagle began to repeat a verse that mysteriously came from the depths of his guts. As an avenue of feelings, it opened a gap in the pressing fog. One by one, the words were coming out and as a balm, eased his sore heart.
"In vain I was born,
in vain I came out
from the house of the earthly God,
I am needy!
I wish I had not really came out,
that actually I would have not come to Earth.
