Initiation
The Society of the Sky Worm
“Before the Great Undulation, all were equal. Now, we must find your place in the segments.”
Seek Thy Level
Segment I
When the sky turns a bruised purple, what is your first instinct?
To look up and wait for the undulation.
Segment II
The Sky Worm drops a single, translucent scale.
I eat it to internalize the sky.
Decree of the Segments
Sky-Seeker
“Your neck is permanently craned upward. The ground is a half-forgotten dream. You hear the whistling of the Great One’s breath in every gale.”
Join the Procession
I report it to the authorities.
Decree of the Segments
Earthworm
“You are still tethered to the heavy soil. You feel the vibration of the Great One above, but your eyes remain filled with dirt. There is much digging yet to do.”
Return to the Soil
To seek shelter in a basement.
Decree of the Segments
Earthworm
“The darkness of the cellar is all you know. You hide from the majesty of the sky, choosing the safety of the crust over the glory of the atmosphere.”
Return to the Soil
The Sky Worm Sees All
