I know it now

I understand the pain

Inside the hearth

The heart will smolder

As a gift

Emrakh rolls over

In the Den

By the fire

You’re safe here

Moon’s scrypt cannot penetrate the window

The long arms of Fog

Profound Fear of God

Dry and warm at last

Read the letters in the brick

Help fetch the water

Mushroom and grain

It all makes you want to stay

But you know you can’t remain

In the den

By the fire

This chapter was originally blank, the pages weathered as if worked over and consulted many times before, but no scrypt shone. Then, for a time, it appeared and was transcribed, only before vanishing again. When, or for what, will it return?
