Mooncoin
“In the Flooded Cathedral she is the serene round moon of the swarm: perfectly symmetrical, perfectly calm, mothering everyone within reach whether they asked or not.”
A Moon denizen of The Flooded Cathedral
The living story
The story so far
The discus mother secretes nourishment from her own skin, and her young graze her flanks. Mooncoin has generalized the arrangement: the whole Cathedral grazes, emotionally speaking, on her calm. She settles disputes by being rounder and quieter than the dispute. Her symmetry is famous — artists despair of her, because there is no bad angle and therefore no interesting one, and she finds this very funny in her own still way. Nutfall calls her his sister in roundness; she allows it.
The Mooncoin within
“Mooncoin mothers everyone within reach, whether they asked or not.”
Serene, symmetrical, and quietly funny — the Cathedral's round moon, feeding her young from her own skin like the discus mothers do, settling every dispute by being calmer than it.

A keeper’s whisper: Her patterning went grey once, for a whole season. Only one other soul knows.

The Flooded Cathedral
The várzea: forest that drowns on schedule, the fish swimming through the canopy's reflection. The boto Encantado is the beloved trickster-prince; Pirarucu the aging queen whose armor remembers caiman teeth. They argue endlessly about whether the flood is a blessing or a siege, and both are right.
