As we give of ourselves to the Lion,
The Lion gives of himself unto us.
We swear these vows, clad in sunlight eternal,
So that we may never again forget our covenant.
The worn nib of a quill scratched sapphire ink into artisan parchment - the Keeper’s eyes worn and weary, the only light to aid her radiating from the candlestick she kept by her bedside. Until suddenly, there was precious little space left to work with - she blinked, scanning the space before her a few times as if she’d missed something. It was only after long moments did she realize it; She’d missed nothing at all. After half a century, she had run out of parchment. There was naught left to scribe.
Her work was done. The Great Work was finished, at long last.
A few dry chuckles left dry and chapped lips, her head shaken in disbelief. Unsteady, she made her way to her bed at long last, collapsing into pillows of geese feathers and a mattress of velveteen wool. Her assistants would handle the appropriate distribution - but for now?
For now, The Keeper would rest.
