These are the words of Mother Mephala and are binding upon all of her children, do not forget her again ...

And in a moment of sublime trust she leaps over the side and lands upon the surface. She walks over to them and the zephyrs give her the words to the song as she and the lead join their voices, and the Dream Magic shares this moment with all of the Worlds ...
