        "fishers of people"? What a weird hobby! How do they do it? Can they
travel temporally, or between parallel universes? Do they do it by
technological means or by magic? And finally, where is Tsorelai Mundya? on
another planet? another universe? Are these two many questions? :)

        If it's so, he's gonna be very disappointed, because I don't know how he
could find again his people. Don't forget that he is totally amnesic (he
has even difficulties sometimes to remember some words in Moten). BTW, do
the Teonim usually abduct young people? |Sela was only 8 when he was found.
