Summary
Since the end of the Great War, everything has changed. The legendarily decadent opium dens and vodka-sodden speakeasies of Constantinople and Saint Petersburg have given way to the glittering palaces and treacherous underworlds of Dersaadet and Prospess. For many of Her Holiest Imperious Condescension's subjects - however much she insists that the title is only a human formality - the second verse is indeed the same as the first: toil, labor, perhaps success or perhaps failure, and in the end an unsung death. By and large this serves to satisfy most everyone. Didn't the Romans have a saying that went something like "Thou shalt not tamper with a working program?" The song goes on, uninterrupted, as it has for eons - a soporific fugue continuing blithely in the same key as the inexorable flow of time.
For a precious few, though, the key shifts and jolts and sings like nails on a chalkboard. None of them ever really wanted to hear it - who would, after all? - and a few of them would actively resist acknowledging what they heard. The first lesson this would teach them would prove to be the most important of all: our destiny is frequently met in the very paths we take to avoid it.
