(A retrospect on the Dark Lord's ninth forbidden Journey) |
|
((THE TYRANT KING:) "I look into myself to ask the Fates for answers but even the Voices of my Soul remain silent. Still sleeping I murmur the Ritual Words of the time-lost Invocation : ARA'SHA NIMU KO'SHA ! The third Dream-Gate opens and I fall onward through the Crystal Ball...") |
|
(The apostate on the Voyage to the center of Cythraul) |
|
"Weird Dreams, dark Visions, black Spells ensorcell me ! |
|
Sword tight (in my trembling hands), grim mission, come forth those Voices sing..." |
|
(THE WITCH:) |
|
"The Secrets once forbidden are gifts to be unveiled ! |
|
Beware (my son) ! For Hell's Damnation waits if you should ever fail !" |
|
(The Sojourner is trapped in the Delirium of the Fall) |
|
(THE TYRANT KING:) |
|
"A royal Balefire (I see the Valkries taking my dead body to the Hall of Kings) ! |
|
A King's soul, haunted, doomed ! |
|
A Warrior's death pyre ! A mortal earthbound tomb" |
|
"I follow to the Ancient Call, DARK FORCES ! |
|
I'm falling through the Crystal Ball, DARK FORCES ! |
|
I've come to face my Sacred Fate, DARK FORCES ! |
|
(I beg thee) DARK FORCES, lead me to the Brimstone Gate !!!" |
|
"Death-Ring ! Black Magic ! Your Wielder I shall be ! |
|
Doom-Sword ! Dark Terror ! Your Steel my Victory ! |
|
Wrath-Sceptre ! Wand of Spells ! Sign of a God-King's Reign |
|
I fear not Death nor Hell nor Fire !!! I shall not fail !!!" |
|
("I enter to the Stygian Pyramids. Realm of the descendants of a race even older than the Old Gods themselves !") |
|
"Shield blessed by Sorcery, anointed by her Spells |
|
I'm drawn into the Black Abyss of fiery Hell !" |
|
("I am reborn in Bloodshed to wreak Havoc, Death and Hate |
|
Upon the lost souls doomed, where endless Pain awaits !") |
|
"I call thee... DARK FORCES ! DARK FORCES ! (Priests of the Serpent-Race !) |
|
DARK FORCES ! (Sorcerers of Time ! Disciples of the Worm !) |
|
DARK FORCES ! DARK FORCES ! |
|
LEAD ME TO THE BRIMSTONE GATE !!!" |
|
(Before the Council of the Serpent. The Dreamer stands alone, facing the Trial of the Elder Gods.) |
|
(THE ELDER GODS:) |
|
"Behold these Treasures ! We know your Soul is pure. |
|
Take them and use them to rule this World once more !" |
|
(The Neophyte on the way back to the second Dream-Gate) |
|
(THE TYRANT KING:) |
|
"Thus spake the Elders ! |
|
The Gods of Metal, Steel and Iron and Glory |
|
(I am) Reborn to reign as King !" |
|
"DARK FORCES LEAD ME TO THE BRIMSTONE GATE ! |
|
DARK FORCES LEAD ME THROUGH THE BRIMSTONE GATE !!!" |
|
("Passing the third gate, I return to the crimson world.") |
|
"...And to a world of Slaughter I awake !" |
