[The Thaumaturgist:]
|
The Great Eye of the Universe opens! Through this astral art the secrets of the
|
cosmos are mine to know... for the stars are my dominion!
|
Empowered at the periphery, ascending to the Id's eyrie,
|
The cosmos feathers her nest with fire.
|
Ephemeral, the nexus calls, besieging cyclopean walls,
|
Branded deviant and pariah.
|
Betwixt the hammer and the anvil are forged the stars...
|
On the wings of the ersatz ones... through the fathomless abyss.
|
|
[The Thaumaturgist's Epiphany:]
|
Like a blackened and baleful sun shall I gaze down from beyond the cumuli and
|
the firmament upon you. I alone must bear the burden of this fiend-wrested lore.
|
New stars without number burn in the heavens, but the shadow of oblivion falls
|
ever closer.
|
|
Shortly thereafter, the dreamscape began to fade, and reality beckoned my
|
consciousness away from the incredible vista. In truth, I was indeed glad to
|
awaken...
