    Summary

    ― Fuckwit that I am, how could I pretend I've wised up to a goddamn thing since the age of twenty? Only viced up, more like.

    The few who persevered from among the flocks in all the world amounted to a mere thirty souls. Beyond the valley where selfhood meets its end, each bird there dipped its bill into a mirror-pool – wherein dwelleth The Image Divine – and drank in the jewel-like essence of their long sought after sovereign.

    Those with the eyes to see and the ears to hear will receive such treasure as this, freely and without minerous toil. But woe betide whoever should close off their minds from truth and cling to worldly things!
    Whatever revelatory potential the Fortieth may have realised was obscured in the confounding crests that its glass-coated wingbeats stirred incessantly upon the waters. Reveling instead in power without restraint, the shuravi kite glutted every wit on the clashing of white sun with the blue-black shades recessed and reflected in its red heart.
