The Last Book

  Recorded by the Black Scribe Thu’ban

  Chapter 13

  1 Of the coming of the prophet, 5 Of agony, 9 Of resplendence

  The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

  1 And lo, I shall unfurl my sign, a comet bright as blood,

  2 To rend the heavens, shake the earth, and loose the coming flood.

  3 For in that day the Vessel shall arise, from death and shadow born,

  4 To bear eyes to mortal sin and herald time’s new morn.

  5 First shall they drink the Mother’s tears, and taste her bitter flow.

  6 Then shall they feel the kiss of fire, and burn but not let go.

  7 At last a star to swallow, to take the blazing core,

  8 Through agony their fate is sealed, to open ruin’s door.
