+The immortal faithfuls of the Aeon of Abundance,\\
+Or the storms dancing between the chessmaster's fingertips?
+The pawn slay the birds,\\
+The horses trample the wolves.\\
+The chariot smash the trees,\\
+And the queen severs the head of pestilence.

+The Xianzhou lays forth the ocean's tribute,\\
+Which the monarch grants to her loyal Gladius.\\
+And upon that knight's sorrow-marked visage,\\
+Appears a smile — precious and rare.

+The raging waves of war from the Aeon of Destruction,\\
+Or the sharp blades of the empress that has never tasted defeat?
+Even in the face of the power that swallows the stars,\\
+Neither monarch nor subject faltered.\\
+They would prove their golden blood,\\
+Outshines the lifeblood of the gods themselves.

+The monarch's Coreflame supplants the flames of annihilation,\\
+Soldiers drink deep of the golden blood of The Blemished One.\\
+She has slain the wellspring of tragedy,\\
+Once again usurping destiny's crown.

+The light of the esteemed gods beyond the sky,\\
+Or the Coreflame lighting up the world in the Imperator's heart?
+The fury of the stars surges headlong,\\
+Boiling at the edge of the galactic empire.\\
+Mighty factions thrust into her realm,\\

+The master of the infinite cosmos lifts the edict high,\\
+Declaring to her boundless, ceaseless realm —

+Chuckling, the Imperator tosses her final pawn.\\
+Her previous delusions withering away during the game\\
+She wiped off the formations that were purely imaginary,\\
+And caught a glimpse of rust blooming upon the throne.
+On the night before the monarch faced fate,\\
+She left behind a grand dream of conquering the stars.\\
+In time, she shall become but a humble pawn,\\
+So that this grand illusion retains a sliver of truth —
