[The smell of blood. A blazing light like the sun. A chuckle. The Conductor's?]
(You are so much like her. But you lack the stains, the chains. The smirch. The emptiness.
Pity.)
Suddenly, Caleb can see fire. Torches blazing through a giant cavern. Figures in robes, staring at him, smiles sharp and wide. And right in front of him, at the entrance, a rock. It glows with light and warmth. It is almost inviting.
The parts carved in it are smooth and smoke black.]
STATION OF THE MOUNTAIN
To have begun this journey was a choice. To approach the end too is a choice. The heart is destiny’s engine, and even greater powers are driven by this alone. There are things that others want forgotten, buried, drowned. But they will not be forgotten, not anymore.
If you consume something greater, you may incorporate it, unless it incorporates you. The Chain which binds us is inflexible, unyielding, yet one may yet ascend into the skies and burn as the Kings do. There is no Law which cannot yet be overcome with the truth.
Down in the frozen law, they made Him less than nothing. Now, He Endures while they have perished. He is Eternal, Indivisible, Ever-Burning, a light in the void of the well.
Never forget. Give what is due. Be the spark that shall bring light to nothing, and cast yourself in.
All shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.
