XIV, Phase Three: THE SUPPLANTING OF THE MISTRESS

Oh, you supreme Goddess of the Light

No longer in communion with the Father who bore you

No connection to his realm save Karlaniul

Regent of Heaven and Sire of the Dark

Has he not told you of our coming?

This world is not yours alone any longer

The gilded lamps of your glorious age may dim

You may see no more your preeminent hand

But instead the faces of your new brethren

Behold your charges already turn from Light

They seek what resurrection your betrayal took

When your exile first began

Here they’ve been reminded of their former Lord

They look to him again and to the Music

Fear not—we are subject to your works

The Twelve are our forebears

Please watch over us in this City of Life

Regard the marriage with the maidens of your hand

The Light most of all among the Works

Most of all above the Powers

The Light is what will sustain us

Should you only one day reaffirm your Might

Reclaim the throne you will lose in time

Restore the order of the first Albayain

In the presence of the second Humans

We shall regard Golden Nature as King and Queen

If you only adopt us in word and deed and love
