Kalpa Imperial
“The storyteller said: Between the dynasty of the Oróbeles, called the Dark Princes, and that of the Three Hundred Kings, of whom there were in fact only twelve if you count the child who reigned for a single day, the imperial throne was held by a nameless usurper. He came from the south, was drawn into the palace by the tides of war, and never came out again. Some people say he’s still there, which is not impossible, as you’ll see. The tale of his life and works is banal, sorry, and inconclusiv...e. Have any of you ever gone near the imperial palace? Have you seen the towers, the immeasurable terraces, the black walls, the fountains? No, nor have I, and even now it’s very hard to do so. That’s why this story belongs to other people. I’m the one they give presents to and butter up to get me to tell about old, forgotten things. But this time, though it probably won’t work, I’m going to try—why not?—to say nothing.What the Archivist said: I live my life, gentlemen, in folio.MoreLess
