3. In the Hoary Shadows of the Blighted Gardens (5:29)
1733 A.S.
Locked high up in his looming tower the Immortal Historian Mason Rofocale inscribes the ongoing events. He unveils a magenta-tinted orbuculum allowing him to directly match his vision to that of the Voyager Armand Mordkhane's who has began his perilous journey. Remembering a prophecy of incomplete translation regarding man's pathetic views of the cosmos and humble theories of their origin the words begin to pour on the first parchment. Nightly whispers, dusty tomes and the faint glow of torches prepared a canvas for the Immortal Historian to interpret the Voyager's deeds.
"And so the heir of the Demon Duke rode forth as a harbinger of oppression and murder.Bearing cursed regalia his path was enlightened with blackest of sorcery..."
Obtain the secret before the Empire!
Absent from the eyes of the Voyager
Reticence, mercy and god
Blasting both barrels of the Mourning Baron
With alacrity through divine sentinel
The torso grovels and pleads
Boot stomps and the angel bleeds
Drawbridge grants a passage
Entailed by circling shapes
A courtyard with strangling vines
Lures inside a forest of thorns
As if reaching the abnormal stars
The trees cradle the ghostly Hall
Powder, spell and slash of a blade
Chaos tearing the unworthy scavengers
Battle-fury, unholy and frenzied
The Voyager states his claim
Gargoyles loom as the torchbearers
Revealing corpse-fed fireflies
In the wholesome archaic desolation
An extracosmic presence has awoken
The gut-red form
Tramples on sordid corpses
Gaping voids grow lichen
Eye sockets of the gigantic being
"And in the ensuing battle mighty strikes hit and the emanating power of the Voyager's spells thundered throughout the gardens. The vultures awaited their feast, and the guardian fell at last pouring its entrails to the ground."
