curiosity is fell beast tempting those whose resolve is weak promises of great secrets entice the hungry to their demise Samuel received a missive from an uncle long forgotten in the old world he'd sought knowledge in places others shunned leaving panama on the first boat travelled eastward cross the ocean reading tales of ancient madness in his uncles spidery hand in a small town on the north coast fog shrouded wraith haunted he asked questions of the locals prodding secrets best left to rot Beware beware your uncle was fool beware have care of suffer the same fate and fall to your doom in a cove just south of the town there is cave that leads down and down shunned by the locals regarded as cursed deep in the moist guts of the earth carvings and idols the likes are unheard madness and whispers around every turn older than Egypt, Sumer or Leng I thought it abandoned but then THEY returned The Stories where true my warning to you tread not this path lest you meet THEM too Cyclopean in scale an ancient city beneath the dales what breed are THEY that live without light and breath through gills obscene idols built from materials I cannot discern they seem amused by my presence and lead me further into the darkness now they tell me things I do not wish to hear when we last walked beneath the sun and sky the world was young and our people thrived but time moves on the earth will always flow and change and we declined with the coming of you mammals they told me tales of the ancient land Pangaea upon the shores of the Panthalassic ocean the ancient races from the stars and within the earth forgotten secrets of the antediluvian world now they show me things I do not wish to see I beheld their god he who dreams down in the deep the secret madness gnawing at the minds of men waiting for the stars to come right again in a cove just south of the town Samuel went down and down left by the locals regarded as lost searching the caverns regardless of cost carvings and idols the likes he'd not seen most he regarded insane and obscene older than anything constructed by man here in the darkness his terror began curiosity is fell beast tempting those whose resolve is weak promises of great secrets entice the hungry to their demise what happened in the darkness will never bear witness seeking treasure in knowledge only led them to their doom

the height of human arrogance his intelligence is un paralleled among the bleating herd his works are unrivalled his words are forged in wisdom gleaned from forgotten pages no faith in man made idols hear the call of unknown gods then one day a friend came calling from a trek in ancient lands he unveiled a secret offering an emerald god trapped in a jar green liquid sealed within a jar transcribed with writhing words ill scripture that hurts the eye the glass seemed alive with worming madness sealed within a precious gift from the the distant caller they use it to communicate with unknown gods of ancient wisdom Drink deep of me and hear my call I am the one who waits in the dark sing loud my words and follow my path leap with rapture into my abyss the emerald gates are open to all clammy stone and the stink of brine rot falls from stalactites a dark cavern fills the space where once his homestead stood the walls scrawled with writhing words crawling down through the earth terror fills his every breath until nothing more remains writhing flesh and appendages fill the void that swallows me a fleeting second of piercing horror before the madness drowns me I scream until my throat is ruptured and the only sound I make is his name the cold embrace of the emerald pressure settles upon my soul lord of the green abyss I belong to you now lord of the green abyss dwell in the dark no more

In the woods tree that stalks others from the outside walk mad stars spiral in times decay black things flock to temples in the void drowners rising from the ashes of the past the time of man has now been washed away the tides of space have changed unkind angles impose our space lives and all they built have now been laid to waste madness spread like a fever oceans wash with pain others from beyond our time astride this earth aflame aesthetic nightmares filter through the end of times approaches fast the old ones decending from the outer spheres to come reaping through the flames we scream into the leaden sky they dream dream beneath the silent waves the red world sings its siren song over civilisations grave
