About the work
When the tiger encountered the bear on his path he detected Omega’s scent, the essence of pale apple blossom, the flower which Omega loved most, and which she kissed every morning when the sun rose. They fought and tore each other to pieces.
Just as on a chessboard, which had yet to be invented, the positions of the pieces changed with one move; Omega clung to Alpha. Inquisitively and without understanding the other animals craned their necks forward and observe the game.
