the first thing i remember as I opened my eyes was the clear golden sky. its immensity, though truly freeing, was beyond even my comprehension.

the image of falling from the heavens, like a message sent through some alien syntax, flashed in my mind knocking me back and forth as I waited patiently for my subconscious to end its flirting with that vivid dream.

the earth looked beautiful from up there.

As i laid there in the sand, captured by the warm rays of the sun, I hear noises in the background that draw my attention. I tilt my head to see two girls, both having similar tie-dyed colored pants and the multi colored dreadlocks, laughing and chatting about how beautiful the celebration was and about the stories of love, peace and happiness that were told by the Elders of a utopia.

Eternal Elysium.

I gather my thoughts as the chill of the morning breeze forcefully sweeps me awake, her kisses are cold, reminding me that my journey to those gates of slumber had passed. As I try to get up i realized that i held something in my hand. I look down to see that it is a book, the weight of it pressing against my palm didn't strike me at first, but i soon knew the actual value of its contents.

"Through The Palace Of Shadows" is a book about two astronauts, out on a routine maintenance check , their conversation , before and after, a malfunction in the locking mechanism throws them helplessly into space. it accounts the conversation they had, while still within communication range, until the oxygen ran out of their suits.

Not instantly knowing why i had it with me I flip through the pages, to my amazement, finding the “space dives” – acid stamps - that i had attained from Xeraph still intact. now i knew why I had it with me.

I look to the heavens and smile.

”praise the gods”.

bright. blue. morning love.

Perfection.

I've done dives before, but they were especially hard to get so this was special.

Xeraph had said that these were stronger than the previous, the previous blots I had were the “white owls”, ones I had done

As i stepped into the palace, these blots were called “iron monkeys” for their exceptionally fast come on, i knew, it was going to be a great day.
