This blue city hides under its cloak a hidden hand that holds like stone a blade envenomed by the eight-limbed Paralt— the sting brings death in the span of grief that marks a final breath— so this hand defies sorcery’s web and trembles the gossamer strand of a spider’s deadly threat. This hand beneath the blue city’s cloak drives home Power’s gentle balance. THE CONSPIRACY BLIND GALLAN (B.1078)
