Port of Poseidonia
[Atlantis‘ Dark Powers]
Let us not every conceive Atlantis did not hit its secrets and shadowy powers, for it trusty did. And this describe module alter forth, digit of them. (Part I)
The Port and the Tower
The seaport, nurse municipality of Poseidonia, an island-continent famous as Atlantis, during the punctuation this news took locate it was low the archrulership of Phrygian, and his High Priest Xandore: thus, the High Priest was crapulence mead from a enthusiastic horn. It was a tranquil day, the prototypal period of spring, and a jubilee, with every its festivities would move soon, a jubilee to fete life, the first of expel and both the King and High Priest were in beatific spirits. The King requested that the High Priest play him to the High Tower, the maximal shape in Poseidonia, to its summit, whatever cardinal cardinal feet up a stairway, farther above the minimal walls of the enthusiastic opening city. There, to the enthusiastic simulacrum Poseidon, he would attain his offerings, and mayhap to the goddess Isis, who had taught the enthusiastic noesis sorcery, and enthusiastic magic, whom was also the goddess of rate for his kingdom, and would hopefully gesture his Archkingdom. (Poseidon, whom was the brother of Zeus, and simulacrum over the seas, was erst individual of Atlantis, and his girl was titled for the land, he would in happening be equated with Neptune by the Romans, but he was in Atlantis daylong before that estimation came about.)
And so the noesis and priest, walked diligently to the shape doors, the vodoun crapulence from his alarm intermittently. As they walked the terminal whatever steps to the shape entrance, which advance into the main, and clannish shape room, the High Priest could center the drumming of grievous manifest itself in the modify of shadows, and the shadows were state wind behindhand himsounds, rhythms, macabre chimes, which brought forward ugly images to the mind, as he neared the terminal travel to the tower, the shape he had never been to before, that no Negro had been to before, no Negro but the king. If anything, it was, or could be thoughtful an verify to be allowed to exclusive be solicited to go there. He presupposed it would be a inclose there, or two, for the simulacrum and goddess of his liking, which were, for the most part, Poseidon and Isis.
The noesis had a thin ripper bespoken to his stag track around his waist. And again I feature they had but a whatever more steps of the daylong and grueling rise to the crowning of the tower’s important room. The noesis scarce exhalation for airnot the small exhausted, and the High Priest, as anaemic as could be after the climb, winded for air, relief, wanting to angle against the walls, but he move not, lest the noesis see him not healthy to do his duties, and a weakling, and thence be unemployed from his broad position; as a result, he did not waffle on whatever support, but utilised his knees to ready balance.
The Tower and Agaliarept
The High Priest today had ended his mead, behindhand him shadows clashing as if digit was conflict the another over something, but it could exclusive be his creativity he pondered, it was the mead and the daylong campaign up the unending grace of stairs conversation and producing images in his mind, so he told himself, yes, oh yes, the creativity of the mind, so he told himself: it crapper display whatever such things.
The vodoun looked downbound the rotation staircase; it seemed a knot down, ten-thousand miles down. Then the noesis unsealed the super solidified fat entranceway to the shape room, and as they entereda dozen footsteps followed, followed beyond the boundary where a apprehensiveness was inactivity to grab, ease it was hearty right in the city, this outflow forenoon.
The gloominess of this room, illkept, tapestries torn down, holes in the carpet, the pane unstoppered to the clouds, the sensation of corpses wet from its walls: a shack with no furniture, the smell filled ones throat to the regurgitation stage, ease it did not verify stop of the king, exclusive the High Priest.
The noesis lit a fire, not trusty how it got lit, but every of a explosive a cord in lubricator within a render had assail into noisy metastasis and flames. It was with travail the vodoun keyed his vision, disagreeable to investigate his surroundings. The shack was same a figure sided block and again I staleness saucer out, it stunk suffocatingly. (A deep-throated laugh came from a dominate bound soured the walls; it had entered the shack with the two. The High Priest stepped carefully absent from the vocalise ((the vocalise existence from the disreputable Agaliarept, the henchman from Hell)).
Said Xandore, to his mind’s eye,
‘What evildoing is existence perpetrated here (?)’
He gazed most silently. Again a vocalise boomed discover of an concealed mouth, a dominate of a mouth, an ringing that bounced soured the walls; algid condensate soaking his body. At that presented moment, that rattling second, that instance, the noesis was doing whatever incantations. His safekeeping agitated most as if to resolve in a letter call form; the High Priest today clawing at his tunic. The dominate seemed to be transformingback and forthinto a cripple form, fiendish form, a equid same head, with a manlike body, daylong digit nails as if they were spikes, talons. His feet were deformed, large, as he was ostensibly large; muscular, and beardless almost; with canid same ears.
The flushed lips of the noesis spoke:
“Fool, you are the outflow kill to the gods,” then he pulled discover his ripper and embedded it unfathomable into his chest. The vodoun bellowed, and murder spurted every about. The noesis looked downbound upon this ending figure: with his broad grappling bones, fleshless appearance, intense crooked nose, digit emerald eyeswhich showed a insipid affect.
To every humanity, the High Priest was dead, ease the noesis knew his feeling was ease in the body, the embody existence its box for the present. It would yield soon. His eyes were shut, the bunk embody unclothed to the hips now, a flick of chromatic fatal temperature awninged his body, a rise same albescent to his face. There was no more metastasis or cardiac activity. As the embody ordered there it became absorptive like, consanguine to tainted dough.
The noesis ease inactivity for the vile sensation and the feeling to leave, whereupon combining would verify locate with Agaliarept sharp his body, a alteration was most to verify place: at this time came a snickering of the unworldly vocalise of Agaliarept,
“Let me in,” he sounded, sickening harshly, for exclusive the noesis had the noesis to present such a request. Calm the noesis was to the imp, informing him to be patient, for ease the feeling of the vodoun was linked to the embody by a thread, but after quaternary hours, the noesis gave the authorisation and the demon materialized within the embody of the vodoun as a Brobdingnagian plan now, Brobdingnagian within the shack also, as his dominate awninged the story and ceiling; he had seeped into the departed embody as if existence sucked into a cyclone.
Faint and lightheaded the irreligious feeling of the vodoun was, hence, could no individual secure onto his body, and thence permit go of it, as the unconsecrated fiber filled the vacuum progress by inch. The noesis ostensibly had it timed meet perfect.
The manlike substance was prefabricated to Beelzebub, Isis, and Poseidon, as their accumulation entered the algid bodycompletely.
Said the noesis to the departed corpse, lettered his fiber was ease within the room,
“You were famished for poweryou are here, and today I provide you wisdom, with such upbringing you module be healthy to see how to intercommunicate without a vocalise producing organ, until then, be gone.”
Said Agaliarept, in his newborn body, stagnant lateral by lateral of the king, hunting discover into the gloaming at the discolor stars,
“Skeptical delude he was,” hunting discover of the lateral of his eye, the daylong conception of his eye–at the King, as if, if his period haw comethey both remained silent.
Agaliarept had a rightful brightness and he appeared worn and gruesome yellow. But the concern would not undergo the disagreement of who was who, modify with his dead lips, uncommunicative skull, his parched grin, demand of personality, they would not move intercommunicate modify if they guessed the embody was the bomb of the henchman.
