LUCIFER And he shall rule. And he shall rule! And he shall rule on a wave of fire, his blood oil to boil the seas. And he shall rule as a searing sun, the tide lapping at the bottom field.

CAT Speaks heaven’s absence.
KNIGHT Cut from the gyre I fly into the wind.
CAT Speaks heaven’s absence.
KNIGHT below a high broad field, below a searing sun.
