Of Carnage and a Gathering of the Wolves |
| Somewhere in the lightless, labyrinthine depths of the Darkenhold forest… |
| Voice of the Night: Who are you, wanderer? |
| Wandering Spirit: I can’t remember… |
| Voice of the Night: The wolves are gathering, |
| the stars are shifting… |
| come, join us in the hunt. |
| The Sylvan Oracle: What arboreal augury be this? |
| Has the Realm Verdant at last seen the countenance of the scourge born of |
| prophecy? |
| What is thy scheme, Zyl-Zyn-Horhuz? |
| Voice of the Night: Who are you, wanderer? |
| Wandering Spirit: I have the scent… |
| Voice of the Night: Gaze into the mists… |
| feel the earth thawing beneath your feet. |
| Come, bring down the prey. |
| The Sylvan Oracle: The wolves are gathering, |
| The stars are shifting, |
| This spectre at the feast, |
| This nectar of the vine. |
| Voice of the Night: Look at the power you possess… |
| See the might which you wield! |
| You know who you are, do you not? |
| Wandering Spirit: Yes, I am the scythe in the field at summer, |
| I am the thunder that awakens the earth, |
| I am that which gives the night air its chill. |
| Voice of the Night: Who are you, wanderer? |
| Wandering Spirit: I am far beyond the ken of men… |
| my gaze shall make the night tremble! |
| The Sylvan Oracle: So dour a mien, let all night’s fulgors flame. |
| Behold, the ghost of a king as yet unborn! |
| He is the scourge, the thanatos, the cleansing fire, the purifying storm… |
| he is the cataclysm given corporeal form! |
| Be wary that your progeny does not consume thee, |
| Zyl-Zyn-Horhuz… the Voice of the Night! |
| Voice of the Night: Who are you, my son? |
| Wandering Spirit: Father… I am annihilation incarnate! |
