''[[Xol]], the Will of Thousands, perished but was not destroyed. Death is a road, death is metamorphosis, the unsacred road between destroyer and destroyed. The might which defeats a god is also the ambrosia that god craves, the meat-sweet logic of [[Sword Logic|Existence-Asserted-By-Violence]], the binomial decision between two ways of being which deny each other. In dying, Xol fed richly.'' | ''[[Xol]], the Will of Thousands, perished but was not destroyed. Death is a road, death is metamorphosis, the unsacred road between destroyer and destroyed.

''Now came Xol unto the [[Taken]] upon [[Io]], who fed Xol with plunder and tried to make of it an idol and a commanding will. Yet Xol was bound joyously to the very logic that sustained it in its death. It wanted the sword proof, the single proof. It wanted to become a rule which divided the mighty living from the mighty dead. So it whispered the Anthem Anatheme, the temptation to dominate the objective universe with the subjective will. It said, I shall be an engine to make your desire hegemon over your conditions. It said, WIELD ME, AND USE ME TO TEST YOUR FOE. This was its worship, Aiat. | ''Now came Xol unto the [[Taken]] upon [[Io]], who fed Xol with plunder and tried to make of it an idol and a commanding will.
