An Observation made within Sam Spratt's "IX. The Monument Game" - Within this Book are bound the “Masks of Luci, a Collection.”

Within this Work, this World, four points intersect -- (i) Above: the Sublime shrouded by the rent veil; (ii) Ahead: the song of the Cypher; (iii) Below: the Ruins of our fathers’ flaws, and (iv) Behind: a field of scattered Runes, sown like seeds.

The Sublime and the Cypher.

The Ruins and the Runes.

Amid it all, in the mists and in the mystery, we stand. We stand upon the Axis, awed.

We, the fortunate.

We, the brittle and the brief.
