The stranger came out of the sea like a water ghost, barefoot and wearing the scars of his journey. He walked as if drunk through the haze of mist that clung like spidersilk to Seiiki.

And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven,
having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand
a great chain. He seized the dragon, that ancient
serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him
for a thousand years.
He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed
it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations
any more until the thousand years were ended.
—Revelation 20.1–3
