Somewhere beyond all that, on an unseeable horizon, was Morrighan and all the people who lived there, going about their lives, unaware. My brothers. Pauline. Berdi. Gwyneth. And more patrols like Walther's who would meet their deaths, as unaware as I had once been. I want to go with you. Where I was going was no place for Natiya. It was hardly a place for me. Mary E. Pearson
About This Quote

This quote is from the book “The Promise of Shadows” by Nancy Kress. Natiya was searching for her family and to find them she would have to go through a portal that was not meant for humans. This portal was not supposed to be open and the people who lived on it were not supposed to be able to see what Natiya was seeing. The phrase, “And more patrols like Walther's who would meet their deaths, as unaware as I once was” refers to us, Natiya and Walther.

We are also unaware of the danger that lies ahead of us because this danger is invisible to us.Walther met his fate just like all of the other patrols but he did not know that he was going to die until it was too late. We are unaware of what lies beyond our reach because we do not know what lies beyond our reach.
