User:The Only Warrior/Nyarlathotep Reborn
Little is known of Nyarlathotep Reborn, it is known that at one time he was a member of the Guild of Shadows, and that he no longer resides withen the mortal realm, apart from that all that could be recovered is an excerpt from the book "Necronomicon Ex Morti", aquired from the library of Prince Mehtu the Wise.
"And at the last from inner Elona came The strange dark one to whom the fellahs bowed; Silent and lean and cryptically proud, And wrapped in fabrics red as sunset flame. Throngs pressed around, frantic for his commands, But leaving, could not say what they had heard; While through the nations spread the awestruck word That wild beasts followed him and licked his hands." "Soon from the sea a noxious birth began: Forgotten lands with weedy spires of gold; The ground was cleft, and mad auroras rolled Down on the quaking citadels of man. Then, crushing what he chanced to mould in play, The idiot Chaos blew Earth's dust away." "Screamingly sentient, dumbly delirious, only the gods that were can tell. A sickened, sensitive shadow writhing in hands that are not hands, and whirled blindly past ghastly midnights of rotting creation, corpses of dead worlds with sores that were cities, charnel winds that brush the pallid stars and make them flicker low. Beyond the worlds vague ghosts of monstrous things; half seen columns of unsanctified temples that rest on nameless rocks beneath space and reach up to dizzy vacua above the spheres of light and darkness. And through this revolting graveyard of the universe the muffled, maddening beating of drums, and the thin, monotonous whine of blasphemous flutes from inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond Time; the detestable pounding and piping whereunto dance slowly, awkwardly, and absurdly the gigantic, tenebrous ultimate gods - the blind, voiceless, mindless gargoyles whose soul is Nyarlathotep." |
