==Story description==
''The man lowers his hood to reveal a scarred and ruddy face. His eyes twinkle like falling suns. "We've been watching from the flotilla. We all agree your offering was worthy. Worthy to seek the names of the saints with us. If you wanted to learn a truth of the Gate, that is?" He produces a battered flask from his cloak. "I've taken the liberty of bringing the unguent. Should you wish to join us."''

<div>"I anoint your head with chrism and press my thumb to your lips, for you are hungry for sacral flesh." You briefly taste dead skin and salt.

"In the beginning was the word, and the word was made writing. The Lord said go forth and multiply. Sin flourishes in silence, but is washed away by the multiplication of words. Open. Wider, please." Parchment is stuffed into your mouth.

The Jolly Anchorite beams. "Not too hard was it? You have learnt the first name and met our Saint of Inks. Our brethren are just this way."</div>

<div>"We are but humble acolytes of the Saints. They came among us long ago – before we departed for the Skies in our folly. Most abandoned them, but we pray to let them know that not all have forgotten their names." The Jolly Anchorite sighs, gazing out on the mists, "Perhaps they'll even rejoin us, if enough learn their names and recite them here at the Gate."</div>
