To all who follow this suffering trail,
 recall these words of one too frail.
He whose hand revealed in darkest light,
 an appointment with eternal night.
Time and Khoronus set forth the rules
 forever unchanged yet changing fools.
The scaled Great One mined the Spheres,
 bringing forth the material fears.
Razud's power grew from each thunderous clap,
 each turning card, each deadly trap.
Diulanna wrapped the deck in thought,
 hoping by heroes it might be sought.
And in the end came Masauwu's kiss,
 the gift of the endless, black abyss.
