:: LUCAIONCATAR :: THE SONG OF LUCAION :: PART THREE ::
Lucaion sails into the Underworld Garden, and the myriad spirits of that realm watch as he sails past them. They task him to undress, stumble into the dark caves, to forget his whole life and then die. Imprisoned in the Underworld, Lucaion's enchantments and skills fall away. Ferzoncuai sings to each planet in turn, asking for their help in rescuing Lucaion from the Underworld – just as he helped them by fulfilling their task, so they must now come together to help him complete the mission set by Atlai in the first part.
Derufin vows to find the name of the one without name, while Mirosai vows to make the spirits of the Underworld shed tears for Lucaion. Mataruia sings to distract the spirits, while Tzihuia bathes the Underworld in a blinding light. Aionsai vows to listen to the cares of the Underworld spirits, while Cuaifin forges a place for the spirits to be reborn back into the Fernal Cosmos. Finally Menesai grants her vulva as the place of rebirth. In this way, the seven Beings wake up Ayia, the Queer of the Underworld. He asks who is causing all this to be done, and Lucaion awakes, answering Ayia that it is he, Lucaion, who is doing all this. Lucaion and Ayia lay together for eight nights, before Lucaion departs the Underworld with Ayia's blessing.
Eight thousand eyes saw the Fisher Lucaion, Eight thousand voices raised in unmusical chant, Lucaion saw no tricks, felt no sorrow, Ferzoncuai called upon Derufin:
Derufin in the Heart of Ebion whispered a leaf: Ferzoncuai called upon Mirosai:
Mirosai of the Ocean Garden whispered a leaf: Ferzoncuai called upon Mataruia:
Mataruia of the Fernalia lands whispered a leaf: Ferzoncuai called upon Tzihuia:
Tzihuia of the Heaventrack whispered a leaf: Ferzoncuai called upon Aionsai:
Aionsai of the Manxio lands whispered a leaf: Ferzoncuai called upon Cuaifin:
Cuaifin of the Furthest East whispered a leaf: Ferzoncuai called upon Menesai:
Menesai of the Furthest West whispered a leaf: At this, the Great Being of the Underworld, The Light-Bearer Beings spoke lightfold leaves, Lucaion opened his arms to love Ayia, Lucaion, the Fisher of the Stars, Lucaion, the Underworld Wanderer Ayia saw the Fisher Lucaion, |
