First published July 1988
Type Novel

In the aquatic world of the Farkis, blacks Ouqdars await the moment of giving birth by fission to the perfect double who will be their only offspring. But then an unprecedented event happens : under the tutelage of his master Ranys, who loves her passionately, Damballah gives birth to a white clone! Fleeing before the oracle of the goddess Khimer, the excluded will have to travel and to question themselves. Damballah will gradually discover the strange truth about the origins of Ouqdars ; they were in the distant past, before the victory of Khimer upon the Chaos, sexual beings with white skin and no scales ... But who is really Khimer and how makes she her oracles? And why is it impossible to leave Farkas?
