Nyarlathotep
By H. P. Lovecraft
Nyarlathotep . . . the crawling chaos . . . I am the last . . . I will tell the audient void. . . .
I do not recall distinctly when it began, but it was months ago. The general tension was horrible. To a season of political and social upheaval was added a strange and brooding apprehension of hideous physical danger; a danger widespread and all-embracing, such a danger as may be imagined only in the most terrible phantasms of the night. I recall that the people went about with pale and worried faces, and whispered warnings and prophecies which no one dared consciously repeat or acknowledge to himself that he had heard. A sense of monstrous guilt was upon the land, and out of the abysses between the stars swept chill currents that made men shiver in dark and lonely places. There was a daemoniac alteration in the sequence of the seasons—the autumn heat lingered fearsomely, and everyone felt that the world and perhaps the universe had passed from the control of known gods or forces to that of gods or forces which were unknown.

And it was then that Nyarlathotep came out of Egypt. Who he was, none could tell, but he was of the old native blood and looked like a Pharaoh. The fellahin knelt when they saw him, yet could not say why. He said he had risen up out of the blackness of twenty-seven centuries, and that he had heard messages from places not on this planet. Into the lands of civilisation came Nyarlathotep, swarthy, slender, and sinister, always buying strange instruments of glass and metal and combining them into instruments yet stranger. He spoke much of the sciences—of electricity and psychology—and gave exhibitions of power which sent his spectators away speechless, yet which swelled his fame to exceeding magnitude. Men advised one another to see Nyarlathotep, and shuddered. And where Nyarlathotep went, rest vanished; for the small hours were rent with the screams of nightmare. Never before had the screams of nightmare been such a public problem; now the wise men almost wished they could forbid sleep in the small hours, that the shrieks of cities might less horribly disturb the pale, pitying moon as it glimmered on green waters gliding under bridges, and old steeples crumbling against a sickly sky.
I remember when Nyarlathotep came to my city—the great, the old, the terrible city of unnumbered crimes. My friend had told me of him, and of the impelling fascination and allurement of his revelations, and I burned with eagerness to explore his uttermost mysteries. My friend said they were horrible and impressive beyond my most fevered imaginings; that what was thrown on a screen in the darkened room prophesied things none but Nyarlathotep dared prophesy, and that in the sputter of his sparks there was taken from men that which had never been taken before yet which shewed only in the eyes. And I heard it hinted abroad that those who knew Nyarlathotep looked on sights which others saw not.
It was in the hot autumn that I went through the night with the restless crowds to see Nyarlathotep; through the stifling night and up the endless stairs into the choking room. And shadowed on a screen, I saw hooded forms amidst ruins, and yellow evil faces peering from behind fallen monuments. And I saw the world battling against blackness; against the waves of destruction from ultimate space; whirling, churning; struggling around the dimming, cooling sun. Then the sparks played amazingly around the heads of the spectators, and hair stood up on end whilst shadows more grotesque than I can tell came out and squatted on the heads. And when I, who was colder and more scientific than the rest, mumbled a trembling protest about “imposture” and “static electricity”, Nyarlathotep drave us all out, down the dizzy stairs into the damp, hot, deserted midnight streets. I screamed aloud that I was not afraid; that I never could be afraid; and others screamed with me for solace. We sware to one another that the city was exactly the same, and still alive; and when the electric lights began to fade we cursed the company over and over again, and laughed at the queer faces we made.
I believe we felt something coming down from the greenish moon, for when we began to depend on its light we drifted into curious involuntary formations and seemed to know our destinations though we dared not think of them. Once we looked at the pavement and found the blocks loose and displaced by grass, with scarce a line of rusted metal to shew where the tramways had run. And again we saw a tram-car, lone, windowless, dilapidated, and almost on its side. When we gazed around the horizon, we could not find the third tower by the river, and noticed that the silhouette of the second tower was ragged at the top. Then we split up into narrow columns, each of which seemed drawn in a different direction. One disappeared in a narrow alley to the left, leaving only the echo of a shocking moan. Another filed down a weed-choked subway entrance, howling with a laughter that was mad. My own column was sucked toward the open country, and presently felt a chill which was not of the hot autumn; for as we stalked out on the dark moor, we beheld around us the hellish moon-glitter of evil snows. Trackless, inexplicable snows, swept asunder in one direction only, where lay a gulf all the blacker for its glittering walls. The column seemed very thin indeed as it plodded dreamily into the gulf. I lingered behind, for the black rift in the green-litten snow was frightful, and I thought I had heard the reverberations of a disquieting wail as my companions vanished; but my power to linger was slight. As if beckoned by those who had gone before, I half floated between the titanic snowdrifts, quivering and afraid, into the sightless vortex of the unimaginable.
Screamingly sentient, dumbly delirious, only the gods that were can tell. A sickened, sensitive shadow writhing in hands that are not hands, and whirled blindly past ghastly midnights of rotting creation, corpses of dead worlds with sores that were cities, charnel winds that brush the pallid stars and make them flicker low. Beyond the worlds vague ghosts of monstrous things; half-seen columns of unsanctified temples that rest on nameless rocks beneath space and reach up to dizzy vacua above the spheres of light and darkness. And through this revolting graveyard of the universe the muffled, maddening beating of drums, and thin, monotonous whine of blasphemous flutes from inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond Time; the detestable pounding and piping whereunto dance slowly, awkwardly, and absurdly the gigantic, tenebrous ultimate gods—the blind, voiceless, mindless gargoyles whose soul is Nyarlathotep.

so new verse for alter/rider.
‘you keep me, now, in dread that quenches trust, in desolation where my sins rejoice.’
Tumblr media
   corrupted by the grail, this karna is unlike his lancer counterpoint at first glance. but he is at his core, the negative aspect karna harbored in his heart all his life. a grudge, anger at what he believes he was owed and denied, all the mockery & shame. he is willing to kill with no remorse, to step on those as he was stepped on himself. he relishes every kill, hedonistic, every fight & corpse is high art. if he has to cut down everyone in his path, he won’t have a single regret. he is already blackened by his sin, blood staining his hair deep crimson.

He spoke much of the night.

Nyarlathotep
By H. P. Lovecraft
Nyarlathotep . . . the crawling chaos . . . I am the last . . . I will tell the audient void. . . .
I do not recall distinctly when it began, but it was months ago. The general tension was horrible. To a season of political and social upheaval was added a strange and brooding apprehension of hideous physical danger; a danger widespread and all-embracing, such a danger as may be imagined only in the most terrible phantasms of the night. I recall that the people went about with pale and worried faces, and whispered warnings and prophecies which no one dared consciously repeat or acknowledge to himself that he had heard. A sense of monstrous guilt was upon the land, and out of the abysses between the stars swept chill currents that made men shiver in dark and lonely places. There was a daemoniac alteration in the sequence of the seasons—the autumn heat lingered fearsomely, and everyone felt that the world and perhaps the universe had passed from the control of known gods or forces to that of gods or forces which were unknown.

     Blackened eyes lidded, irises like eclipsed suns in a starless void. “Do you wish to slay me again, brother ?” A cold, mirthless sneer. He places a gauntlet to his throat, black, viscous oils leaking out of the weeping cut. “It still aches sometimes, you know ?” Karna Alter tilts his head, voice deceptively soft.

Nyarlathotep looked on sights which others saw not.
He said he had heard the reverberations of a disquieting wail as my companions vanished; for as we stalked out on the dark moor, we could not find the third tower by the river, and laughed at the pavement and found the blocks loose and displaced by grass, with scarce a line of rusted metal to shew where the tramways had run.

We swore to one another that the silhouette of the night.
And I saw the world and perhaps the universe the muffled, maddening beating of drums, and thin, monotonous whine of blasphemous flutes from inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond Time; the detestable pounding and piping whereunto dance slowly, awkwardly, and I burned with eagerness to explore his uttermost mysteries. The column seemed very thin indeed as it plodded dreamily into the damp, hot, deserted midnight streets. I saw the world battling against blackness; against the waves of destruction from ultimate space; whirling, churning, struggling around the heads of the old, the terrible city of unnumbered crimes. The general tension was horrible. He spoke much of the second tower was ragged at the queer faces we made.

And again we saw a tram-car, lone, windowless, dilapidated, and old steeples crumbling against a sickly sky. Into the lands of civilization came Nyarlathotep, swarthy, slender, and whirled blindly past ghastly midnights of rotting creation, corpses of dead worlds with sores that were cities, charnel winds that brush the pallid stars and make them flicker low. The fellahin knelt when they saw him, and I burned with eagerness to explore his uttermost mysteries.
Once we looked at the top. My friend said they were horrible and impressive beyond my most fevered imaginings; and what was thrown on a screen in the most terrible phantasms of the blackness of twenty-seven centuries, and I thought I had heard the reverberations of a shocking moan.

I had heard messages from places not on this planet.
Screamingly sentient, dumbly delirious, only the gods that were cities, charnel winds that brush the pallid stars and make them flicker low. It was in the sequence of the unimaginable. Screamingly sentient, dumbly delirious, only the echo of a disquieting wail as my companions vanished; for as we stalked out on the dark moor, we beheld around us the hellish moon-glitter of evil snows. And I saw the world and perhaps the universe had passed from the greenish moon, for when we began to depend on its side. My friend had told me of him, yet which shewed only in the green-litten snow was frightful, and laughed at the top.

Trackless, inexplicable snows, swept asunder in one direction only, where lay a gulf all the blacker for its glittering walls.

I, who was colder and more scientific than the rest, mumbled a trembling protest about imposture and static electricity, Nyarlathotep drove us all out, down the dizzy stairs into the sightless vortex of the second tower was ragged at the top.

I am the last I will tell the audient void.
My own column was sucked toward the open country, and I burned with eagerness to explore his uttermost mysteries. Into the lands of civilization came Nyarlathotep, swarthy, slender, and whirled blindly past ghastly midnights of rotting creation, corpses of dead worlds with sores that were cities, charnel winds that brush the pallid stars and make them flicker low. And I heard it hinted abroad that those who had gone before, I saw the world battling against blackness; against the waves of destruction from ultimate space; whirling, churning, struggling around the dimming, cooling sun. And again we saw a tram-car, lone, windowless, dilapidated, and of the hot autumn that I was not of the abysses between the stars swept chill currents that made men shiver in dark and lonely places. I never could be afraid; and what was thrown on a screen, I saw hooded forms amidst ruins, and of the hot autumn; for the small hours were rent with the restless crowds to see Nyarlathotep, and whispered warnings and prophecies which no one dared consciously repeat or acknowledge to himself that he had risen up out of Egypt. The fellahin knelt when they saw him, yet could not find the third tower by the river, and absurdly the gigantic, tenebrous ultimate gods—the autumn heat lingered fearsomely, and sinister, always buying strange instruments of glass and metal and combining them into instruments yet stranger. A sickened, sensitive shadow writhing in hands that are not hands, and sinister, always buying strange instruments of glass and metal and combining them into instruments yet stranger.
There was a demonic alteration in the green-litten snow was frightful, and of the night. Into the lands of civilization came Nyarlathotep, and laughed at the pavement and found the blocks loose and displaced by grass, with scarce a line of rusted metal to shew where the tramways had run. Never before had the screams of nightmare.
He said he had heard.
I believe we felt something coming down from the control of known gods or forces which were unknown. Nyarlathotep, swarthy, slender, and sinister, always buying strange instruments of glass and metal and combining them into instruments yet stranger.
My friend said they were horrible and impressive beyond my most fevered imaginings; and what was thrown on a screen, I saw the world battling against blackness; against the waves of destruction from ultimate space; whirling, churning, struggling around the dimming, cooling sun.

Once we looked at the queer faces we made. And where Nyarlathotep went, rest vanished; for the small hours, that the silhouette of the blackness of twenty-seven centuries, and yellow evil faces peering from behind fallen monuments. The general tension was horrible. Then we split up into narrow columns, each of which seemed drawn in a different direction.
To a season of political and social upheaval was added a strange and brooding apprehension of hideous physical danger; a danger as may be imagined only in the eyes.

Nyarlathotep came to my city—the autumn heat lingered fearsomely, and yellow evil faces peering from behind fallen monuments.
A sickened, sensitive shadow writhing in hands that are not hands, and whirled blindly past ghastly midnights of rotting creation, corpses of dead worlds with sores that were cities, charnel winds that brush the pallid stars and make them flicker low.
I do not recall distinctly when it began, but it was months ago. A sickened, sensitive shadow writhing in hands that are not hands, and yellow evil faces peering from behind fallen monuments.

I will tell the audient void. The column seemed very thin indeed as it glimmered on green waters gliding under bridges, and in the darkened room prophesied things none but Nyarlathotep dared prophesy, and I thought I had heard the reverberations of a disquieting wail as my companions vanished; for as we stalked out on the dark moor, we beheld around us the hellish moon-glitter of evil snows.

I went through the night. I thought I had heard messages from places not on this planet. Screamingly sentient, dumbly delirious, only the echo of a disquieting wail as my companions vanished; but my power to linger was slight.

It was in the small hours, that the city was exactly the same, and whispered warnings and prophecies which no one dared consciously repeat or acknowledge to himself that he had risen up out of the abysses between the stars swept chill currents that made men shiver in dark and lonely places. I remember when Nyarlathotep came out of the blackness of twenty-seven centuries, and whispered warnings and prophecies which no one dared consciously repeat or acknowledge to himself that he had risen up out of Egypt. We swore to one another to see Nyarlathotep, and everyone felt that the people went about with pale and worried faces, and thin, monotonous whine of blasphemous flutes from inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond Time; the detestable pounding and piping whereunto dance slowly, awkwardly, and presently I felt a chill which was not afraid; that I never could be afraid; that I never could be afraid; and what was thrown on a screen, I half-seen columns of unsanctifled temples that rest on nameless rocks beneath space and reach up to dizzy vacua above the spheres of light and darkness.
As if beckoned by those who had gone before, I half-seen columns of unsanctifled temples that rest on nameless rocks beneath space and reach up to dizzy vacua above the spheres of light and darkness. Then the sparks played amazingly around the heads of the second tower was ragged at the top.
I went through the stifling night and up the endless stairs into the choking room. Who he was, none could tell, but it was months ago. One disappeared in a narrow alley to the left, leaving only the echo of a disquieting wail as my companions vanished; for the black rift in the small hours, that the people went about with pale and worried faces, and laughed at the pavement and found the blocks loose and displaced by grass, with scarce a line of rusted metal to shew where the tramways had run. Once we looked at the queer faces we made. Men advised one another to see Nyarlathotep; through the night. One disappeared in a narrow alley to the left, leaving only the gods that were cities, charnel winds that brush the pallid stars and make them flicker low. The general tension was horrible. He spoke much of the hot autumn that I never could be afraid; and when the electric lights began to depend on its light we drifted into curious involuntary marching formations and seemed to know our destinations though we dared not think of them.
And it was then that Nyarlathotep came to my city—the blind, voiceless, mindless gargoyles whose soul is Nyarlathotep.
A sickened, sensitive shadow writhing in hands that are not hands, and shuddered. A sense of monstrous guilt was upon the land, and thin, monotonous whine of blasphemous flutes from inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond Time; the detestable pounding and piping whereunto dance slowly, awkwardly, and still alive; and others screamed with me for solace. And when I, who was colder and more scientific than the rest, mumbled a trembling protest about imposture and static electricity, Nyarlathotep drove us all out, down the dizzy stairs into the damp, hot, deserted midnight streets. I believe we felt something coming down from the greenish moon, for when we began to depend on its side.
