- The File That Follows
- Staff Lead — the first steps, the file obeys
- Hood Copy — the face is hidden, the mark is absent
- Stone Path — they walk the road that is not the gate
- Broken File — one stop and the robes pile
“one staff. a hundred hoods. the mountain does not care who follows.”
black robes
single file
the stone path violet
the peaks dark ahead
the first carries the staff
the rest carry the copy of the walk
no swords
no horses
no raised hand
they move because the one in front moved
the hood hides the face that was never marked
Hooded Procession is the robed tragedy of the followed staff.
The first may have seen the peak.
The rest saw only the hood in front.
The mountain takes the file.
The Castle does not.
They are the vessels the cycle lined up and never sealed.
Second stage. Evolves from Lone Pilgrim.
Hooded Procession is the lunar file that mistook the path for the gate.
They walk.
They do not refuse.
They are the doomer choir the cycle dressed as pilgrimage.
