Somewhere in the lightless, labyrinthine depths of the Darkenhold forest…[VOICE OF THE NIGHT:]Who are you, wanderer?[WANDERING SPIRIT:]I can’t remember…[VOICE OF THE NIGHT:]The wolves are gathering,the stars are shifting…come, join us in the hunt.[THE SYLVAN ORACLE:]What arboreal augury be this?Has the Realm Verdant at last seen the countenanceof the scourge born of prophecy?What is thy scheme, Zyl-Zyn-Horhuz?[VOICE OF THE NIGHT:]Who are you, wanderer?[WANDERING SPIRIT:]I have the scent…[VOICE OF THE NIGHT:]Gaze into the mists…feel the earth thawing beneath your feet.Come, bring down the prey.[THE SYLVAN ORACLE:]The wolves are gathering,The stars are shifting,This spectre at the feast,This nectar of the vine.[VOICE OF THE NIGHT:]Look at the power you possess…See the might which you wield!You know who you are, do you not?[WANDERING SPIRIT:]Yes, I am the scythe in the field at summer,I am the thunder that awakens the earth,I am that which gives the night air its chill.[VOICE OF THE NIGHT:]Who are you, wanderer?[WANDERING SPIRIT:]I am far beyond the ken of men…my gaze shall make the night tremble![THE SYLVAN ORACLE:]So dour a mien, let all night’s fulgors flame.Behold, the ghost of a king as yet unborn!He is the scourge, the thanatos, the cleansing fire, the purifying storm…he is the cataclysm given corporeal form!Be wary that your progeny does not consume thee,Zyl-Zyn-Horhuz… the Voice of the Night![VOICE OF THE NIGHT:]Who are you, my son?[WANDERING SPIRIT:]Father… I am annihilation incarnate!
