Callisto Rising
(Zuranthus)
Earthbound, a star falls to my tongue.
Come to me, Hyperion's child... come to me, spawn of Titan.
(Condemned Souls of the Brotherhood of Dark Elucidation)
Callisto rising! Glory ascendant!
Hearken Zuranthus, heir of Klatrymadon...
your blood-kin is free once more!
The rogue godling, your offspring Zurra,
has again cast his wondrous virulence upon the firmament!
Begot of the thunder... Spellbinder!
(Zurra)
Break the sidereal seal, my progenitor!
Open the astral portal! Give me the Lexicon...
Give me that which is rightfully mine!
Destroy the guardian-light... Kill!
(Zuranthus)
Earthfall... the firmament weeps for this fallen star.
The cosmic ebb and flow... Behold my splendour, progeny of Titan!
(Condemned Souls of the Brotherhood of Dark Elucidation)
Callisto rising! Goddess ascendant!
Hearken Zuranthus, heir of Klatrymadon...
On a whim you may devour the luminous sentinel
which binds this crystalline fragment of the Lexicon to bleak Callisto...
Empower your renegade spawn... free our souls!
Bestriding the tundra... Mistweaver!
(Zurra)
Unfetter yourself, brother Zuranthus, father Zuranthus!
Bestow upon me the shard which I seek...
Give me my godhead, or I shall condemn your flaccid essence
to a dimension of unparalleled pain! Kill!
(Zuranthus)
Do not seek to threaten me, wormcast.
My tenure here is preordained... and I will suffer your arrogance no longer, o' wayward hybrid.
The power of the Lexicon is not destined to be possessed by one such as you. Begone!
(Klatrymadon)
How bewitching... so poignant in the shadow of death.
Tell me, my myrmidon... where did you send the renegade whelp?
(Zuranthus)
Far beyond, across the tenuous filaments of the great temporal web.
As you have taught me, in this dimension, velocity itself is no longer limited by the speed of light.
(Condemned Souls of the Brotherhood of Dark Elucidation)
Bipolar nebula! A falling star!
The gate yawns wide above eon-veiled Mu... the hybrid fiend of Z'xulth's destiny awaits him upon that coruscating isle!
(Zurra)
V'aan-ayth'ultaa, No'maal-pha'guus...
Damn you, Zuranthus... you will pay dearly for this outrage,
i swear it by the blackened maw of the sacred Z'xulth!
I will not be denied my birthright!
(Zuranthus)
Your very existence is a virulence which beclouds the face of the cosmos, o' aberrant thing!
To think that a grand scheme with such lofty and benigny could have such unfathomably vile as a result!
Curse the black day of your genesis in the spawning vats beneath the Pre-Cambrian sea!
Curse the corruption of the Z'xulth!
Curse the Mera for their grand aspirations!
Zurra, mark me... stray not into my darksome embrace, lest I grind my jaws on your soul.
(Condemned Souls of the Brotherhood of Dark Elucidation)
Spare us your wrath, great one, we beg thee.
Begot of the thunder... spellbinder. Callisto Rising!
(Zuranthus)
Humans!
You who would invoke my name to further your own wicked schemes!
Have i not granted you counsel over the centuries?
Have i not generously answered your pleas for knowledge with that selective lore deemed fit for your flaccid, questing minds?
Now, once more i see the use to which you would put this knowledge!
Unfetter the fiends whose names are inscribed within the Tome of Shadows at your peril!
Did your forebears not learn their lessons with the blackening of the cristalline metropolis?
Do not seek to invoke my name again, foolish manlings!
You purport to revere me as a deity?
You profess to call me a god?
Well then... behold my godhood... and pray!
(Grand Arbiter of Temporal Jurisprudence)
Hearken, young Zuranthus. I summon thee to appear before the Great Temporal Court. We have a pressing matter to discuss with thee.
