Winter's Gate (part 4)Part 4: The Gate OpensHear the sound resonate through your flesh, through the ground across the skies. Cracking roar, a thunder’s bark echoes here, the voice of doom. Blackened clouds now seize the welkin, wielding all of winter’s ire. And it will rise with a white voiceless face. From the heart of earth, from under the mountain. The stormwind engulfs us, the whirl of white and grey. The downfall is upon us, the reprisal of wanton Gods. Here at world’s end we will tremble far beyond the deceitful seas. Here we hide now, crawl to shelter, far away from the homely shores. And it will rise with a white voiceless face. From the heart of the earth, from under the mountain. Devouring the sun and the earth, the earth, forest and sea. Devouring the sun and the earth. the earth, forest and sea. Devouring the sun! Stumbling forward in knee-deep snow, the wind is whipping my face in frozen slashes. Void of direction, void of hope. I call her name in the whiteout. There amidst the raging coldness I catch her figure, the fear of death is staring at me through her eyes. Through the wind’s howl a scream now rises. Something moves in the whirl of snow, creatures born out of winter’s furor. Closing in on us! Through the cave’s mouth, a crack in the stone wall I’m tearing my way, right into the dark. A beast is rending, the ground behind me. Killing all the light! Hear the grinding, of stone against stone. I’m crawling deeper, in the dark. |
