"Absconditus, Abditus, Arcanum, Mysticus, Misterium, Secretum..."
I have lost count of how many times I have repeated the words as I descend into trance.
I have forgotten the world...
My body...
My name...
...Perfect.
This is where She likes to hide,
and this is where She reveals herself to me.
"Absconditus, Abditus, Arcanum, Mysticus, Misterium, Secretum..."
Tell me your will... I am your Champion am I not? Why have you left me in quiet? I have served you faithfully.
"Absconditus, Abditus, Arcanum, Mysticus, Misterium, Secretum..."
Right. Ego. It must be shed.
You needn't say what hasn't to be spoken.
Your silence IS the answer.
"Absconditus, Abditus, Arcanum, Mysticus, Misterium, Secretum..."
Still my mind is aflame with burning questions
Mistress of Shadows, Queen of Illusion, Goddess of Secrets...
What is thy will?
"Absconditus, Abditus, Arcanum, Mysticus, Misterium, Secretum..."
East. You keep saying East.
We have journeyed East, as you commanded.
Book? What book?
Yes. Yes! Yes! I must forge the book.
"Absconditus, Abditus, Arcanum, Mysticus, Misterium, Secretum..."
There is much to learn. Yes... Yes, I hear you...
A secret enobles it's wielder if they are worthy. If they are not worthy, if they have stolen it, it becomes a curse...
A burden that will destroy it's owner.
The Secret makes alive Knowledge, and makes it Just.
A Secret is POWER...
It is not lightly unmade...
"Absconditus, Abditus, Arcanum, Mysticus, Misterium, Secretum..."
I walk in the shadows as you command.
"Absconditus, Abditus, Arca-"
The rustling of leaves breaks the spell.
"Your presence is felt, intruder..."
I begin to stand...
Fingernails pressing into the skin of my sweaty hands...
Eyes struggling to see in the twilight in the woods...
Was it the wind?
"Reveal yourself to me..."
