Thank you. What I was asking for was a reference in the text describing this flood which makes it clear it was a local, rather than global, event - not examples of similar language employed elsewhere in the book in a hyperbolic sense. I don't care what Caesar said; he wasn't there at the flood nor was he describing it. Clearly the flood narrative in context is quite unambiguous on the point of its being worldwide and can't in all conscience be interpreted otherwise.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
