lyrics

The Wanderess stared into the massive toothless hole that was the creatures mouth, the deeps of its gullet glowing with white light. She only had time to wonder how painful it would be, consumed by this monster. Its hands grasped her, almost gently, and pulled her towards her death. Then the spear struck. The thing reared back, dropping its meal. Zyrafyna stood at the chamber's opening, sword in hand. The Wanderess stood painfully and made towards the thrashing creature. With a deft motion she snatched her spear from the hideous flesh and felt The Fang of the Fathers fill her with new energy. Zyrafyna was at her side now, they circled the monster as it slashed at them with its strange limbs. Then it was in the pool, and gone.

No words were needed, simply an embrace. Then The Wanderess was felled by another contraction. Zyrafyna helped her to her feet and they made for a tunnel at the chamber's far end. They were close to the surface, Zyrafyna could smell it. She could smell something else too: the thing in the pool had re-emerged and was stalking them. They ran and the thing pursued. It had become invigorated, an emerald glow radiated it's bizarre form. It had absorbed power from The Fang! It was far distant, scrabbling over rocks and stalagmites but its speed was incredible, it was closing the distance between them! Suddenly The Wanderess felt a tug at her sleeve, Zyrafyna smelled fresh air. They changed course and went into a tunnel almost too tight for The Wanderess to manage. She screamed as a contraction gripped her and she felt blood running down her leg. She forced herself through and saw light and smelled fresh clean air for the first time since she had entered these caves. The monster was behind her, squeezing through the passage, reaching for her. Then she was blind! The warmth of the twin suns felt intoxicating, but they had become her enemy, her eyes were unaccustomed to this light! She could hear her assailant working its way through the passage somewhere behind her. She could run, but surely it would catch her. Then a landscape took form before her very eyes, great mountains were all around and a forest of trees spread out to the distant horizon. She stared up at the suns. They were not the suns she knew. They were black, with light radiating from the darkness. She gave no further thought to the eldritch nature of these new heavens and foreign lands below them. She spun to face her enemy, it was almost out of the passage now. She screamed a prayer to her ancestors and swung the spear. It collided with the top of the tunnel, The Fang slicing cleanly through the rock. There was a low rumbling, the tunnel began to buckle. The Wanderess ran as the tunnel collapsed completely, a great plume of dust, debris and fetid slime sent high into the air.

These were indeed strange days thought Ungar. Days of prophesies fulfilled. He stared down at the two woman. One was clearly a cave dweller, she lay face down on the ground: the expanse of the sky to great for her. The other was dressed as a queen, garbed in gold thread with ringlet upon brow. It was the two bobbins he found most interesting. Twin girls, each with a mark upon them, one bore a wound on arm and the other on brow. They nursed from their mother, each holding the others hand. Were they the fabled Sister of the Spear? Born of a bloodied queen, 'neath the blind eyes of god? The historian would no doubt believe it. Days of Prophecy Fulfilled. he glanced up at in the dim light of the eclipsed suns. Strange days indeed.
