Quoted By:
Setebos is deeply intrigued by Mariamne's tale. After a contemplative pause, he murmurs:
- If only we had more word-memories from the wisdom of those elder days. The primitive shamans of my people once believed that you could Possess the consciousness of a Being through their words; though the breath of a tale is lost as soon as it is spoken, the Consciousness of Being would be restored from their words alone, enchained in the stochastic sorcery of a wandering walk, if only enough word-memories could be gathered. The Rite Of Ensoulment, I believe, was recovered in a manner akin to this. Yet you have withheld much in your tale! How did the land of the Sun King and his heirs, his Palace Of Versaye and their decadent, elaborate fashions come to be overthrown?
