The littlest sound, it is. Like a tinkle of a bell. + +My name was given for the laughter which never ceases. Can you +hear it? It is the music that flows across our ship and stirs the +hearts of my sisters. + +You cannot see the Jinn unless they wish it. The hidden folk may +seem like men or they may seem like the animals of their true +face. The dog snout and yellow teeth are no more fearsome than any +other mask they show. + +When we were young and lived in mud and grass, their cathedrals +were the stones of the mountain. When our cities rewrote the land, +theirs floated across the sky. When we put our first step onto +another world, they were guiding the stars. How could a face +convey more fear in our hearts? + +The Shedim are made of smoke and fire and their world is the same. +They see us as we see the beasts, for surely to them we must seem +God's lesser creation.

We are nothing, and yet... + +The laughter flows from deep in my chest and it shakes my whole +body. Some nights my eyes water and I cannot see, but the tears +are not of sadness. + +Millennia! And only now, our small group will do what generations +never imagined. They are the hidden folk, the Jinn, the Shedim, +the Utukku. They are the vampyr and the demons. They have haunted +our stories since fire drew us together. They torment us from the +invisible places where we cannot see. + +And that is what's so funny. They gave us the idea, you see. And +now they are the ones that do not see. When we come--when Hawwa +speaks the word--I will not stop my laughter until each of them +understands. I will see recognition in those canine eyes. Then, +and only then, will the joke finally end. + +Oh my sisters, I could tell you my story like the others have +done. I could tell you of my journeys and of my husband, now six +years in the dirt. I could tell you of children who followed. +I could give you the stories of pain and suffering and let you +share the anguish and outrage that plagued my soul, but no. + +Share my laughter instead. It is not bitter. It hides no malice. +It is pure chaos in the way that bridges pain and joy as only +laughter can. Hawwa will speak the word soon, and... you'll see! + +Hah! You'll all see! + +Watch their faces, sisters, when it happens. My spirit will be +there with each of you in the smiles that will bless your lips.
