This is the last place; this is the first place. This is a place without feature; this is a place of infinite detail. It is empty here; it is overflowing. This is the gate to a new world; it is the door that leaves all the old worlds behind.
In equal measure, hope and fear. And one more thing: truth. Hope and fear will grow if the truth recedes. As the truth grows both the hope and the fear diminish.
This is a place of continual light; this is a place of perpetual darkness. There are no shadows here; yet nothing is fully illuminated. Nothing moves; nothing is permanent. This is the end; this is the beginning.
Welcome, and farewell.
