The Unfated Wanderers Canto 9
The Equerry Tablet
Sorrow strides the land.
Horrors colossal.
Hope’s life has perished.
Whither shall we pray?
Put your laments to
The Realm Supernal.
Behold Equerry!
Powerful servant
Face of the True Gods.
Prayer caravan
Travel the path to
The Gate of Sunrise
Wherein shall we find
The untrodden path
The gate none may know?
The Gate of Sunrise
Is at once in all
Places, yet is shut.
With proper objects
At Pristine Table
The gate will open.
It is no mere vision
If elemental
Spheres are included.
Set upon corners
Of table pristine
Spheres of element.
Runes of Path shall be
Sculpted of near clay.
Witness the symbols.
Spear Wolf Blood Smoke Moon
Sun Bear Fire Blood Smoke
Wolf Spear Moon Sun Bear
Trace the Runes of Path
With the Servant’s Crop.
Ritual complete.
Then the Equerry
Breach Gate of Sunrise
Appear in full form.
Respect holy guest
Be assured that words
With servant are like
Words spoken with the
True Gods themselves.
Respect holy guest!
