\u201cThere are many universes and many Earths parallel to each other. Worlds
\nlike yours, where people\u2019s souls live inside their bodies, and worlds
\nlike mine, where they walk beside us, as animal spirits we call daemons.\u00a0
\n<\/p>\n
So many worlds. But connecting them all is Dust. Dust was here before
\nthe witches of the air, the Gyptians of the water, and the bears of the
\nice. In my world, scholars invented an alethiometer – a golden compass –
\n and it showed them all that was hidden. But the ruling power, fearing
\nany truth but their own, destroyed these devices and forbade the very
\nmention of Dust. One compass remains, however, and only one who can read
\n it.\u201d\u2014Serafina Pekkala\/ The Golden Compass<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
