Silence Broken

“How long I’ve dreamt for freedom long-last.

This oath assumed, now fulfill the task…”

— Whispers in Stone

The sun had long-departed, its fiery glare smothered by the dark cloud as it now retreated behind the far hills — as the vale of Almaris was plunged once more into the depths of night.

 

Water slowly fell from the cavern ceiling, cast down upon the sodden stone. Each drop sounded like a beat from a hollow drum as it made contact with the earth, ringing in ominous procession.

 

Yet all else was silent, not a single soul stirred. For so long, naught but rumor and whisper had made its way to those antiquitous halls. But now, in the depths of shadow, something stirred that was never meant to rise in the world of living men.

 

Mist wreathed itself along the stone and earth, slithering like a pale snake which engulfed the cold, hard floor of the crypt. Whispers, shadows in the dark — muttering in the night:

 

“Yldu’th… ghunulk.”

 

What lurks in shadow can no longer hide.

 

“Rhnagôr— zu’fryct?”

 

By what sanctuary can this dark abide?

 

“Umgî dishul.. d’wakat.”

 

They questioned one another in tongue,

 

“Ashi’.. eg’u...”

 

Awaiting he who was the one.

Verily, indeed then, did that loathsome 'geist slumber 'neath the waves,

 

Though, yet still, its head would rise, solemn, it who called itself Raev.

 

'Twixt bindings damnable, it harkened to the call,

 

For though it walked as one, it stood as they all.

 

"O' woe betide the dead and those bedamned by this horrific coil,

 

Of ye who kneel 'afore the heavens and this mortal toil.

 

Hark, for I say this but once, this omen of most import,

 

Make way for the Shepherd; He whom suffers no retort.

 

O', for shale and shore know no command,

 

Yet even still, guided, we are, by that unseen hand.

 

Glory to ye who walk as Lord...

 

For what lurks in shadow may no longer hide, yet they who walk in Light may no longer be ignored."
