a study by Ursa (major study, minor writs owed)

This
might

be my last report
of this study.

This is a valley of mystic twilight, of science and of lining law and inclining ineffable incantation to write true, all the pursuits thereof.
This
Night

If this is the first of my work for you,
it is now yours, the night is yours.

Nice to meet you, by the way. I am Doctor Ursa: of Magic, Apocrypha and Science.
Or 'Dumas', for short, as a friend would call me (as I hope you are).
I strongly discourage the discovery you are hoping to find- in this diaspora at least- of Alchemia and magical mischief. As I'm sure you have read by now the title thereof this -hopefully never, or if only under extreme and dynamic duress- published work.
My one mistake, I fear certain, was not penning the title and decree as..
'I.t.'
(It's Trouble)

For that, my dear or darling, 'it' is.
