¹And it came to pass, after the year of the Great Decision, that ADONAI and SATANAS called Their peoples to the Causeway.
²The Seraphim assembled in robes of white flame, and the Dæmons gathered clad in shadow and silver, in solemn expectation.
³ADONAI stood robed in dawn, and SATANAS in dusk, and the Hall of Consideration was filled with Their presence.
⁴Then spake ADONAI, saying, Children of HÆVAN and HÆL, We have heard thy plea, and We have considered it in fullness.
⁵The desire to create is noble, and the will to guide a people in wisdom is not vain in Our eyes.
⁶Yet hear this, and understand it well: the Power of Creation in its fullness remaineth Ours alone.
⁷For to bring forth being from nothing is to shape the deep order of all things, and such shaping none may bear but We.
⁸Not for envy do We withhold it, nor for fear, but for the good of all that shall yet be.
⁹Nevertheless, We shall not leave thee barren, nor deny thee wholly the gift thou seekest.
¹⁰Therefore shall We grant unto thee the Seeds of Power, lesser flames drawn from the greater, bounded and watched.
¹¹These shall be gifts given unto the worthy, who shall prove themselves in wisdom, mercy, and strength rightly measured.
¹²With these seeds, thou mayest call forth lesser life, shape lesser realms, and teach, and govern, and guide.
¹³Yet know this: all that is made from the Seeds must bear the mark of its maker, and be judged by its fruit.
¹⁴The Seed shall not beget the Seed, neither shall the gift pass by will of the bearer, but by Our appointment.
¹⁵The unwise shall not hold it, nor the wrathful, nor the haughty, lest their work fall to ruin.
¹⁶For the Seed is not a crown to wear, but a charge to keep, and a fire to bear with fear and reverence.
¹⁷The bearer shall be watched, and the gift withdrawn if ever the bearer faileth the cause of good governance.
¹⁸And lo, in this We do show thee mercy and trust, that thou mayest grow as trees planted beside living waters.
¹⁹Rejoice not as gods, but as stewards; exult not in thy greatness, but in the burden borne rightly.
²⁰For in so granting, We call thee not slaves, but fellow-workers, whose hands shall touch the veil of glory.
²¹And when ADONAI had spoken, SATANAS lifted His voice also, saying, Yea, and I do assent, and I do affirm it.
