|
Before him in an aura of light appeared a being not of human breed. |
|
Pale as death, with eyes as dark as those of midnight ravens. |
|
In visions he now saw the ancient one.......enraged. |
|
The being spoke in a tongue unknown to him. |
|
But its aura was veiled in pride. |
|
Days of wisdom were to come to him and his tribe. |
|
Those not lured to weakness.........by light. [Voice of the old one:] "Moonlight bright embrace thee. Forever she caresses thee. Free you eternally. Fear not children so true at heart, Our powers shall protect thee." |
|
Buried deep within the heart lie secrets of a distant past. |
|
The darkness in the old one's eyes was not like that of man. |
|
Within them burned a hope. |
|
What was hidden? |
|
What wisdom did he hold? |
|
A challenge for those of heathen blood.........lords and kings. |
|
Only pride remained as darkness fell on soil from which he came. |
|
As the old one moved closer he could feel the presence of his soul, |
|
As that of nature itself. |
|
The flames in his eyes revealed a secret.........of what was to be. [Voice of the old one:] "There must and shall be blood. Pain until the last drop. As night itself will sweep the ground that I place my feet free of purity ever after. Until the night once again sends its breed. |
