About the book: year / Life is a hunt. A true beast will never die unless killed. It is very difficult to finish off an old beast, and even more so an ancient one, whose killing will elevate you, without the Gift. Almost impossible. And the Gift is only in the Abyss. In fact, the holes in it are the beginning of the Path. The one who steps into the Abyss takes the first step. The one who steps back with victory is the second and decisive one. I did them both.
