[centre]from [i]The Tablets of 'Amkula Bujunda[/i] [h3][i]The Tablet that Shall Be Forgotten[/i][/h3][/centre] ...Wise beyond words, beyond human years knowledgeable, the Most Beneficent - who is Uhulmikown - walked the ways of sun and moon and whispered in the darkness and whispered in the light for forty days and forty nights. In his heart was no despair, though they who were most beloved to him were in the grasp of the Enemy. Faithful and seeing, in his certainty strengthened, of his victory sure, he who is the Most Beneficent walked the forty moons and forty suns until, hailing the Northerly Gale, there manifested before him a host ten hundred strong. Ask not: 'wherefrom didst they emerge?' Do not questioning say: 'what foulest magick, from what dark abyss of the deathlands, what scorpion-born horrors were they?' Do not exhort or catechise with such empty words as: 'on horseback were they - or horsemen were they - or was it the great black bull or that of the great one horn that was their steed? Or horror greater, was it the wing-eared greyness of the great snake nose?' Aye, ask not - know only that the Darkness Beyond Sight trembled and shimmered when they came. Know that the Northerly Gale carried them. Know that He, who is Eokihiltchin, who is the great progenitor and father, and She, who is Bihmat-Iyan-'Uk, who is the great Fog-Serpent of the Blue Eyes, who is the chaos of the sea and the great terror, who is the great deliverer and mother, blessed and ordained them and built them from might and struck them from stone and made their voices of thunder and the glint of their eyes of lightning. 'Hail!' Spoke the Most Beneficent, and their counter-greeting was the grating of the heavens against the cliff of the world. And under the twin-stars of the Holy Month When No Blood Must Be Shed were that hallowed host to greet with death Giwabi the King and with the crushing fist of abolishment salute Giwabi the Kingdom, and were they to hail with the voice of eternal forgetting the treachery that is Giwabi the GodKing. Thus shall it be written after a time in the Tablets of 'Amkula Bujunda. ...
