A hamlet lord had taken me in

He was an elder lacking kin

His wing was mentorous and protective

The celestial erudition he was about to share



As a boy i'd learned much on my own

Recognizing pre-war signs and dialects

But Lord Elmreckt was a master intellectual

Capable of feats unproven by science



The first step: to understand the fear

To control the reflexes of mental lapse

Following this: the medicinary state

Where expanding the mind is possible by the use of linear projection



And for long months, I listened, practiced and learned

My mind's eye has transcended the scars of the earth

My awareness immense, my instincts now honed

Lord Elmreckt and I were tapping into the unknown



And oh, the sight and the sound!

Like a billion explosions, but black and calm

And this alleged continuum of space and time?

It is not at all like what is said in thr old world's books



"Quiet" he said, "We are travelling at a humungous speed

Down an unchartable quarter of the astral sleet"

It was so intense that I felt death grip me

Toy with me, follow me and then let me go



Apparition: "There is a land far away across the violent sea

9000 solsti have passed since a dying and unearthly race

Tried to cultivate there. It is important that their work is completed.

Not for their sake, but for yours

Amemnon"



What is this... strange four legged creatures hoofing through desert lands

Gigantic triangular structures... bizarre glyphs... and a...

An opening for life of the universal nucleus
