Chapter 1: Clean-cut jade binded by red
Stunned the eyes of their clumsy kin
Differences of which will never be bereft
Craft upon a simple pedestal; gleaming
As it falls; breaking
Shattering their image of perfection
Veins fragmented into all but nothing
Leaving but a faint connection
A pity;
Exploration
Explorat ion It is forgotten
Shelved upon mere pieces of history
Like characters left unwritten
Font Design by
Chong Li Ann Jr2Z(4) Roots left to rot; a past she couldn’t foresee
Alas foretold by renewed red
Pieced together through tales and time
To uncover what lies ahead
Past gems of similar hues but different kinds
To tell, or to be left behind
