Chapter 18: The Legend of Kopesh-Ra

Word travels quickly through the Dream City about the victory over Lo- Sàfah. Kopesh-Ra’s name becomes synonymous with hero. The malevolent force that has kept the denizens of the Dream City from altering their course and looking outside has been vanquished.

Kopesh-Ra is treated to the greatest of pleasures. The Dream City is at his disposal. Parties from dusk to dawn keep him telling and retelling the story of his encounters with Lo-Sàfah, the very personification of evil for their society. Although unbelievable, Kopesh-Ra inspires great hope and confidence in many of the people of the Dream City.
Inside the Dream City, the Solution is apparent; there is no sense of desolation or despair. There are few, if any, real problems. There is peace, justice, equality, and freedom. And most of all, there is not a constant ring in his mind of the Πβ signal. It is a place for which Kopesh-Ra has yearned during his prior life as Samuel. Samuel… the word now rings strange and hollow to Kopesh-Ra.

As the legend of Kopesh-Ra circulates through the private parties and the public meeting places of Dream City, the people start to speculate about the outside world. It is soon theorized that Kopesh-Ra’s coming means the end of their utopian Dream City. Without Lo- Sàfah there is no meaning for the Gates, no reason to avoid the Path. The Balance has been upset. The Day Star is fading.

Kopesh-Ra is now hero and anti-hero for having released the Dream City from its natural bounds, unleashing an unknown variable into the equation for which the Solution has been so precisely calculated. The future is no longer calculable. Anything can happen in a world without boundaries.

To discuss their situation and Kopesh-Ra’s place within it, the Dream Master summons him to the Palace at the summit of The Spire in the center of the Dream City. The Spire nearly touches the zenith of the great Dome that covers the Dream City. At the peak of the spire is a glowing red light, symbolizing the unity and peacefulness of its people.
