HIDDEN CITIES
Four
Recurrent invasions racked the city of Theodora in the
centuries of its history; no sooner was one enemy routed than
another gained strength and threatened the survival of the
inhabitants. When the sky was cleared of condors, they had to
face the propagation of serpents; the spiders’ extermination
allowed the flies to multiply into a black swarm; the victory
over the termites left the city at the mercy of the woodworms.
One by one the species incompatible to the city had to
succumb and were extinguished. By dint of ripping away
scales and carapaces, tearing off elytra and feathers, the people
gave Theodora the exclusive image of human city that still
distinguishes it.
