This is perhaps the shortest of the three Chronicles,but it contains prophecy and visions,and our kind are not generally given to superstitious mutterings and proclomations.It seems that,of the Antideluvians,only Saulot had the gift of prophecy.It is possible that Zillah,Caine's wife,also had this gift.
I have often commented that the things which affected the Antideluvians' thoughts also continue ro affect our thoughts today.Surely these prophecies of Gehenna,thin blood,Lupines,and the like have begun to cause "self-fulfillment" of these prophecies.Becuase their worries are passed down from Generation to Generation,a ripple of paranoia and fear continues to reverbrate through the Cainites,and through them,the Canaille. |
