Even when mortal history fails us, it is the Book of the Seven Books that guides us through the impossible roads of future precedent, our responsibilities to the spirits of our ancestors and the ghosts of our descendants. It is the true story of mankind, our history in a single volume.
Through it we know that by the will of Christ, the Sun's son, we shall be remade.
"The path you walk fails the gods, the name you speak is not his name." [LZ 1:1]
In the face of such history, how am I to write? All I have are my imaginary stories of imaginary peoples. And after the abandonment, in our storm age, I have not the wisdom of the ancient revs, nor the morality of the ancients sages. What I write is not instructive in the least. Who I am to put this work against the creation of God and precedent?

"The fearful are caught as often as the bold. Faith alone defends. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable." -Helen Keller

Perhaps it would be instructive to quest in the trail of another for a while.
