Prologue - 3: The end is only a New Beginning

-------

I Have Seen the Dragon in the Great Brass Cage - Serik, Circa 900 CE, Tibetan Plateau:

Upon the mountain came a man,

His lips were sealed but his eyes are many.

In his company were beasts and serpents,

Chained to his many hands reluctantly following.

I came in front of him in fear and worship,

Listening to the prophecy from the tongueless prophet.

The serpents coiled and the beasts restless,

But each held back by the eyes ever watching.

"I have seen the dragon in the Great Brass Cage," He said,

"Its claws are sharp and its breeds are many.

Its mouth consuming stars and its scales large as cities,

It coils and bends with the cage rusting"

I have heard chanting and seen his servants,

Reborn from mere men to serpents and beasts.

Sacrifices were made in exchange for power,

But the great dragon never needs to feed

"It fed on the bodies of gods not the flesh of men,

And it fell into slumber for ages and ages.

But its glory reduces not and his crown ever flaming,

Only a fool would claim mastery to such a thing"

"Pity the Great Sorcerer King of Adytum,

Who regards himself a god but an insect merely

Pity his Klavigar and proud Karcists,

Who seek to rule the land but will all perish"

"Pity the Able the Great Traitor,

that he considers himself an old gods,

Only because he has gained favor with the Almighty"

"Pity the followers of the great brass machine,

Their master scattered still in pieces"

"Pity the Human King who believes he is the progenitor of men,

While holding in his hand only a false crown shines Like a small sun and brings knowledge to all fools.

No, no. Not fools as in stupid, idiotic people that do unreasonable actions.

I mean those Fools!

However, their actions are simple not meant to be understood,

Humans?

They can't be understood with common sense,

Those beings that form a paradox as even the FooLs are amazed by them,

Humans are the biggest contradictions in existence...

Pity the mortals who know not about the dragons,

Descendants of the same blood but will die in ashes."

"Finally pity for The Red God,

Who regards himself as the most powerful god.

When the Demiurge finally breaks free from his prison,

he will see his flesh devoured and his soul consumed"

My face went pale as the beasts roared,

And I could hear the serpents shifting in darkness.

The moon shed down a blood red light,

As the mouthless prophet spoke once more.

"I have seen the dragon in the great brass cage," He said,

"Its teeth are sharp and its eyes are opening.

Its crown shines and its throne to be remade,

And when the cage shatters it will breathe."
