Amidst the enigmatic vault of the Adepts, symbolic designs adorn the lids of ancient Pastos, whispering secrets of the arcane. Artists like Frank William Brangwyn and Matthau Buckinger have captured the essence of this mystical brotherhood through their works, including the portrait of St. Theobald and the vividly colored chalk drawing by Abram Jacob Messir. The enigma of the Adepts continues to captivate, as seen in Charles Johnston's "Chrysal, By an Adept," where transformation and the unknown intertwine. Yet, even in the face of such profound mystery, the world outside persists, as evidenced by the clash of ice skaters on the frozen pond - one gracefully gliding, the other falling. And beyond the realm of the Adepts, the tumultuous 100 Years War rages on, with the Battle of Crecy serving as a stark reminder of the contrasting realities that exist, both within and without the veil of the arcane.
