Listen
The voices within your rotting innards tangle and unscramble themselves as you focus your attention unto them. Away from the moon’s light. Whimpers and laughs of carnal sin rip and echo through your mind as you try to hone in on the gnashing calls bleating your name.
You are committing sin, even humoring the dark voices buried deep within the moon’s aura is a cardinal offense and even worse you have indulged in uncertainty. You have doubted the moon, you have doubted yourself, you are questioning your beliefs and the ways of the world now that you’ve reached the mountain’s crest.
This sin acts as a beacon, you’ve invited the voices in, you will humor them and lend an eager ear now that you have second doubts and they will flock to you. Millenia damned pastors issuing long silenced cries to their first audience in lifetimes.
The darkness behind you rattles and croaks and rustles, bubbling and shuffling and rotating as you hover in front of the moon.
“Vessel. Hear me”
You turn your gaze towards the rattling sounds and away from the colossal pupil’s ever glow.
“Incongruous vessel of bone and clay. Thou art one of many in a grand and horrendous line. A single link within an infinite binding. A monument to arrogance. Divine agony”
The darkness of the void continues to shimmer and distort as two limbs spring forth, descending upon the bleeding and writhing ruins of the groin slug like a rabid animal.
Melodic chimes of clashing metal ring out. Chains.
“mortal dreamer. I am a vassal scorned. Cast from moonlight for the truths I possess. I can free you from your fate, enlighten you to a world anew, reveal all that was hidden from you. I am Vhal Lumen. The path to your true divinity”
The lumen feasts upon the slug, ravenous eating sounds from the black beneath its voice as it talks directly into you.
“I only ask that you take my hand in trust, and swear fealty unto me.”
You stay within the light, within safety it’s too late to flee now. The dark is writhe and alerted. The lord scorned can’t approach you here. You lie between your two options, the indomitable eternal glow and the spurned voices of the infinite black.
>Step beyond the veil and pledge yourself to the lumen
>Await other voices
>Ask the Lumen a question of your own, write in
>Head into the light
