Hi Cathy,

Ha! I have those jugglers and scissor-bearers running through my house too.

To your question:

The two in the prologue are supernatural villains each in a kind of form.  One is massive. A creature that is not often seen, but moves underground, digging furiously often at the approximate speed of a freight train. It is what came through and crashed into the seashore.  The other is “the old woman” named Noadiah, but she is something else besides what she appears to be.  I know these are cryptic answers, but they are accurate.

The excerpt is connected to this same story, but it a glimpse into a backstory for it with regard to the oppressive human kingdom of Xarm.  The father and son in the excerpt are the man who become the ruler of the “Marxist-type” kingdom, and the son is his successor, who after his father’s death, becomes so obsessed with his father’s tormenting memory he calls himself “The Son of Xarm” and forsakes his given name.
