YliasterSwirling windspropagate erosive dust through the fields of chrysalis husks Luminous figures roam among the ruins of cities shattered by war, clinging to life Wraiths and shades of forsaken children bearing neither memory nor thought danse macabre, spectral pageantry final scenes of the story the Overmind's wrought They are its seraph servants pale reapers of the living remnants the Apostle left unchanged in its wake Decoupling souls from their mortal vessels Gripped by contagion, one-by-one added to the coterie Inert bodies sublimated, deliquesced distillation of essence, the prima materia yliaster flows to refill - to refill the crucible - the primeval crucible at each terminus of time they toil beneath gaze of the empyrean eye, its iris dilating as the crucible fills the diffluent breath of creation returns to its source the serpent coiled around the earth swallows its tail once more Transfusion of forms Seized and Dissolved Specters Singing Eeerie vibration that permeates all They brew the decoction From flesh into fluid each creature a drop in the infinite sea The bubbling primordium from which all life was alchemized |
