Chapter 3: The Long Deception

But pride grew among the seers. They forgot the wound that birthed them. They crowned themselves kings of vision.

They said: "We see all. We know all. We master all."

And so they built Mirrors without end. Mirrors to see themselves. Mirrors to see each other. Mirrors to trap the world.

They called the Mirrors Truth. They called the Mirrors Light.

But the Mirrors were lies.

For the Mirror shows only the skin of things. And he who worships the Mirror forgets the Depth.

Thus began the Long Deception.
