![]() ![]() Now Luke is a successful stage comedian whose partner Sophie Drew is about to have their baby. That’s just one of the tales Luke Arnold’s Uncle Terence used to tell him when Luke was a child. Sometimes the villagers would see him striding the mountains on legs composed of cloud and as long as the sky was tall. ![]() Once his body dissolved, it was free to rove the spaces above the world. When they drove him out, he fled up the mountain, starving until the clouds returned just in time to raise him up. If he dreamed even while he was awake, he would begin to lose his shape in the manner of a cloud, and soon the villagers noticed how they couldn’t see him properly. He thought they were about to blind him so that he would lose his way or fall, but they ushered him up to their eyrie and told him secrets they’d learned in their voyages across the sky.Īfter that, he climbed the mountain whenever they were there, but failed to realise how they were changing him. As he made the final ascent, the clouds came down to gather about him. At those times, nobody from the village in the foothills would venture near the mountain, until one day an orphan boy found a hidden path. It involved a mountain so high that the clouds would nest there while they whispered to one another. ![]()
