Mortals, this manuscript has been prepared for you through a link I have with one of you. The link is occasionally strong and allowed a mortal author to write my words as though he were me, generating my thoughts from his own mind. My name is Artan, and I am a seraph. I exist in an almost indestructible metal body, a form I took when I entered this world, a physical existence from which I have sent dreams and visions to this book's author. Read if you wish, for the full account is told well in his words.
