The foregoing transcribes the ancient canticle recited by the host of the echtroi upon allowance of passage. It has been translated from the First Language from memory and though a reasonable effort has been made at elegance, it lacks the ferocity, profundity and sense of power, of which the sounds of that ancient tongue were capable. It is recorded in this obscure region of the multiverse for reasons purely sentimental and personal

For this bright scintilla of Creation is not unique
For each Expression of the Null is illusion
For each universe embeds Defect in its makeup
For defect is no shortcoming but the yearning of the Null
For its discovery heralds the manner of annihilation
Which signifies a return to nullity
For thy journey has been serendipitous
For thy presence the liquidity of quiescence
For these Gates have awaited thee
For the completeness of time
For their parting signifies an unveiling of Defect
For but a glimpse leads to reckoning
Which signifies the end of thy deception
For this passage is the culmination of thy journey
For henceforth shalt thou cross the great chasms
For thy light shall remain whole, despite His darkness
For thy spirit shall not perish but yet persist
For this crossing is the end and the beginning
Which signifies thy transcendence
For we have been endowed with the authority
For guarding and keeping these Gates
For they conceal and protect the Defect
For none within this universe may witness
For the whole should evaporate into nullity
For ’tis the privilege of Divine Will alone
So thus art thou erased, eradicated
— from the annals of this cosmos
So thus is thy history altered
— so as to thine origins deny
So thus never shall thy progenitors meet
— so as to thy birth prohibit
So thus are the memories effaced
— of those thou hast touched
So thus are the bonds dissolved
— with those thou owest and those that owe thee
So thus are the records expunged
— of thy misdeeds and thy accomplishments
So thus is every trace wiped out
— of thine existence in this realm
So thus is the continuum fractured, splintering
— into a myriad disconnected time segments
For this, our sacred duty
For the performance of our obligations
For our creation was predicated on this probable outcome
For the great covenant we uphold before the Null
For the fulfilment of Destiny
Thou may'st pass
