In th' beginning, there was naught but formless energy. \n\nA material energy, though sublime. \n\nAn ethereal fire. \n\nWithin the fire was contained all life, every thought, every impulse. \n\nWhen bullet or lead ball be fired, therein do an infinite power of impulse reside. A single second, betwixt thy click of a hammer and thy mighty spark's ignition be where secrets of the universe hide. \n\nThe Island has given me sight. Every death and every return, I see our purpose yet clearer. \n\nListen to me true story, and believe! \n\n- Captain L. Wright

BOOK OF DAWN

THE CANNONOMICON

In the Before, was I a humble pirate warlord. \n\nMy ships numbered hundreds and every nation was afeared. How little did I know, me true path had yet been revealed. \n\nMe First Mate, family on th' high seas, had raised mutiny. I had no choice. So sadly, had I no choice but to execute the poor soul on sight. Without a sea breeze of a second, I barely thought and fired. \n\nA click. \n\nAn explosion. \n\nThe cool sizzle of th' exhausted barrel. Saw the universe explode before my very eyes! That was the day, I always say, that I became a Master Cannoneer.\n\n - Captain L. Wright

BOOK OF DAY

I once felt the life in my veins. Was electric. But to be truly Lost... is electricity and a strange numbness at the same time. With every death, me spark mixes with something alien and divine. \n\nAnd when the dream ends, ye wake up on th' shores of yer long-lost passing. Again and again and again. Every journey be breathless and infinite! Every moment awake is a gift! And a poisoned fruit. \n\nI've seen the end though! \n\nI've seen when the spark gives up! There be nothing left but formless energy! \n\nEthereal fire! \n\nIt only takes time! And time, I think, is all we have.\n\n- Captain L. Wright

Through dusk and moonlight's peak, where we may all rest… Join me and find eternal freedom!\n\n- Captain L. Wright
