We escape the gnashing dragon jaws of Eclipse Season only to plummet headlong through Excarnation Gates, Pluto conjunctions, retrogrades and dimly lit labyrinths. We talk our way through ferality, scavenging, sniffing the terrain, dispelling pestilence, solstices, celestial threshold guardians, saturnalias, purifications, shedding identities, echidnas, donning veils and embracing darkness.
