Chapter Text
The Scripture Of Lost Youth
Once, there was a youth...
...who lived and died a million times.
She absorbed the death of her entire race,
took the burden on her shoulders,
and as she broke under the weight,
she smiled.
“Why are you smiling?” asked the king
“Don’t you know that you are dying?”
She looked at him and said
“There is always another.”
The Scripture Of Youths and Visions
Once, there was a youth...
...who thought he heard the truth.
He heard that he would die,
he heard that everyone he knew would die,
he heard that he would die again.
He was right.
He was wrong.
But in the end, he lost his doubts,
and his vision,
and so much more...
But he laughed in the face of the void, saying:
“I have gained far more than I lost.”
