- 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 this 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 all knowledge sprung.
- The original world is the true individual omphaloi, the umbilical of reality itself.
- There the Oracle of Delphi first acquired the ability to see.
- There the Oracle of Delphi became the first who saw the many, the first who saw the six, the first who certified the changing
- 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 come together in the spirit of unity. We save one to save many.
- As one circle of athletes we celebrate the world, to celebrate all of the worlds.
