The Firebird Nested in Darkness  

(Start from the Beginning)

Long Ago in the future, when time was a wheel and not nailed down by priests and crucified for the entertainment of Kings, a story prospered that told all of life how to live for as long as possible. The story contained gods and monsters, heroes and villains, storytellers and all of the readers and listeners who ever read or heard the story. The story was the universe to those who knew it, the guide to those who walked it, and the way out of the Ten Thousand Years of Darkness. Do you know the story of the Firebird in the Darkness?
