XXVIII. The Tree of the Hydra
In a place, deep below the lightning-wracked skies, there is a vast cavern.
In the cavern, grows a tree that sings.
The tree is crystal, branching, branching.
In the branches, in the leaves, dance visions, near and far, was and will be.
Beneath the tree, pinned by roots, sleeps the Hydra.
The Hydra, the mad worm, with its head of lashing whips.
Crystal roots grow through its hide.
The Hydra sleeps and dreams, one day to awaken and rise and consume the world.
