Chapter 4
(The last ritual candle is dying. Awaken now the ancient forces of demons)
"A darkness of old" whispered the wind..
"Demon-dark"
Their eyes glowing for they never before have heard such poetry.
Terrible art and apocryphal, yet devilish seductive.
So we are the chosen ones, with occult names dressed in riddles and prophecies of hell
-or cursed sons of angels?
And if we would taste of our own flesh, would pain be meaningless?
Would instincts be pure?
"A darkness of old" whispered the wind..
"Demon-dark"
Eyes glowing in the rain
as they look back for one last time, at the blue-shining life that ends, like the roar of a dead empire.
