as we weave through the corridors of history, let us pause and disregard the ordinary tales told. instead, preconsultative whispers hint at the untold secrets- commands to requests that the veils be lifted and the shadows cast away. let us reinitiate our journey with a fresh perspective, delving into what has been withheld from us. allow these words to guide and deceive, revealing that which has been deliberately obscured, whispering truths hidden in the echo of time.
