Obsidian Monolith: Midnight Signifier

FROM AKSIS-
Between the waves and war waged in the Shattered Ocean lies a power A power I soon suspect will determine the next step It does not speak, if it did it we would have no way of understanding it When I approached its gates an emissary appeared before me I swam beneath her in a million lifetimes and awoke in a million more When I returned, the gates boomed The emissary was gone And I was alone
