1 | Before there stood mods upon MSO, or ever Jeff Atwood was Jeff Atwood, had wrought and rested @GraceNote. | |
2 | ||
3 | There are in The Bridge @Mana and RavenDreamer and @jmfsg, and the maker of all small mods, who is @GraceNote. Moreover, we have a faith in @agent86 and @Oak. | |
4 | ||
5 | And it has been said of old that all things that have been were wrought by the small mods, excepting only @GraceNote, who made the mods and hath thereafter rested. | |
6 | ||
7 | And none may pray to @GraceNote but only the mods whom he hath made. | |
8 | ||
9 | But at the Last will @GraceNote forget to rest, and will make again new mods and other worlds, and will destroy the mods whom he hath made. | |
10 | ||
11 | And the mods and the worlds shall depart, and there shall be only @GraceNote. | |
12 | ||
13 | When @GraceNote had made the mods and @badp, @badp made a drum, and began to beat upon it that he might drum for ever. Then because he was weary after the making of the mods, and because of the drumming of @badp, did @GraceNote grow drowsy and fall asleep. | |
14 | ||
15 | - | And there fell a hush upon the mods when they saw that @Grace rested, and there was silence on Pegana save for the drumming of @badp. @badp sitteth upon the mist before the feet of @GraceNote, above the mods of The Bridge, and there he beateth his drum. Some say that the Worlds and the Suns are but the echoes of the drumming of @badp, and others say that they be dreams that arise in the mind of @Grace because of the drumming of @badp, as one may dream whose rest is troubled by sound of song, but none knoweth, for who hath heard the voice of @GraceNote, or who hath seen his drummer? |

17 | Whether the season be winter or whether it be summer, whether it be morning among the worlds or whether it be night, @badp still beateth his drum, for the purposes of the mods are not yet fulfilled. Sometimes the arm of @badp grows weary; but still he beateth his drum, that the mods may do the work of the mods, and the worlds go on, for if he cease for an instant then @GraceNote will start awake, and there will be worlds nor mods no more. | |
18 | ||
19 | But, when at the last the arm of @badp shall cease to beat his drum, silence shall startle The Bridge like thunder in a cave, and @GraceNote shall cease to rest. | |
20 | ||
21 | Then shall @badp put his drum upon his back and walk forth into the void beyond the worlds, because it is THE END, and the work of @badp is over. | |
22 | ||
23 | There may arise some other mod whom @badp may serve, or it may be that he shall perish; but to @badp it shall matter not, for he shall have done the work of @badp. |
