- Chapter 18: The Oath
(translation by Retzglaran)
- On every world which celebrates the Multiversal Olympiad, the agonothetai recite the following oath at the opening ceremonies:
- Of course, in some worlds this is a public ceremony - in others, a secret ceremony.
- You must learn that oath, and teach it to your own agonothetai.
- All of the parallel worlds are equally real.
- But one is the original world, the world from which history was born, the world from which is the source of all assembled knowledge.
- The original world is the true unique omphaloi, the umbilical of reality itself.
- There the Oracle of Delphi first acquired vision.
- There the Oracle of Delphi brought about the first who saw the many, the first who saw the six, the first who certified the bloodtype. (sangigon, lit. "blood condition")
- We will protect the one true omphaloi against the change, by means of the glory of our sport, and the honor of our teams.
- We convene in the spirit of unity. We rescued the one to save the many.
- As one circle of athletes we celebrate the world, for the celebration of all the worlds.
