Chainer

THE EMPEROR AWAKENS

---

spare the spark once more, and pry your eyes
to hold them in your hand like marbles,
for only then shall they be free of judgement.

in chaos and debauchery, there is a blooming light
chasing the end times like hounds, forever in pursuit,
lest they shimmer out of existence.

---

witness undeath incarnate!
witness and despair!
witness DIVINITY!

the hearts of the living quake in awe, as do the seas and the skies and the earth; and all that is holy is forgotten; all the comfort life has ever bestowed, all the peace death has ever gifted, and all the love that living has birthed, crumble before the unfathomable rotten abhorrence!

even death's sanity is shattered at the sight of this supreme display of divinity, for never has death seen an abomination more atrocious than the masters' magnum opus- a massive amalgamation of flesh and rot that towers above all other horrors, vaguely following the shape of a giant three-headed dragon. it is this mountain of madness that serves the masters as cathedral, throne, and weapon.
the macabre centerpiece of the ossuary slumbers, stretching its decaying body across the entirety of the holy site. when it trembles, the world trembles with it; threatening the very gods themselves, its mere existence making it known that should it ever awaken, nothing and nobody shall ever awaken again.

alike the grandiose churches of stone or the embellished swords of lords, this superfluous display of opulence is the quintessence of the masters' purpose.

it screams- I OWN YOU.
it screams dominion above and beyond and beneath and further and forever.
it screams- C̶O̷W̷E̷R̵ ̶M̶O̶R̵T̶A̶L̶C̸̟͝Ơ̵͙W̴̘͂E̸͇͝Ṙ̴̟ ̸̝̈M̴̬̓O̶̦̿R̴̬̍T̸̙͗Ä̸̢L̵̹̇C̴̺̿̇O̸̥̔W̵̦̼͌E̸̘̳̚R̵̰̯̐ ̸͔̄̊M̷͓̿̈O̴͎̊̈R̴̐̿ͅT̸̠͑̾A̵̡͕̓͐L̴͓̯͂C̴̥̻̊̋̕Õ̷̯͚̝Ẇ̷̛͔͖͍Ë̴̡́̕Ŕ̷̡̮͙͋ ̴͍̞͚̿̓M̴͔͊̓Ȍ̷̤̺̟Ȑ̸̗̳̌T̷̛̗̫̮A̵̱̹̒͂̚L̶̜͖̈́͊Ĉ̴͕͚͕̀̊Ō̷̧͙̝̣̋W̶̤̝̮̠̃Ȩ̷̈́͊́͠Ṙ̶̫͛̒ ̶̣̰̲̒́̐M̴̢̛̙͗́O̵̠̰̼͕̚R̶͙͆͌̀Ţ̷̭̣̙͗A̸͎͎̝͊̇Ļ̶͍̜̿̅̐ C̶͇͈̍͗́̚Ò̵̪͚͉̼͑̓̏͘ͅW̷̙͖̰̯͂͗̈́̚E̴̯̳̍Ŕ̵̦̱̯̅̔̉̕ ̶̩̬́̎͘I̶̛̲͎̣͒͘M̴̩̩͍̊̀M̸̡̥̞̰̄O̷̬̲͕̟̅̉Ȑ̸̀́̔̎͜T̴̻͈̮̒͗̋͊̽ͅẠ̵̖̖̺̍L̵̜̯̅C̸̨̰̭̳̬͊͌͐O̶̤̩̯̬̝͒̈́̈̈̇̈́W̸̩̳̩͒̔̏͌̊̅E̵̢͆̄R̸̞̆͗̕ͅ ̶͎̽̇I̶̭̲̺̠͚͂̚͘M̶̺͕͑̈́̏͘͝M̷̩̾̓̋O̶̱͚͓̮̤̅R̵̢̐͒̽T̵̻͂̍̄̍Ȃ̸̓ͅL̴͍̽́̀͗̾C̶͕̍O̵̝͓̥͈͒͌̌͑̅W̶̙̲͌͋͂͒̊̈̈́E̵̱̩̍̈̆̋̋͜͠R̴͎͎̳͇̤̞̈ ̷̱̦̱͕͝I̴̹͆̔̆̾̒͒̄M̴̗͔̩̭͉͙͙̓̄͘M̷̹̠̮̝̆͛͑̈́̓Ȍ̵̢͔̺̙̦̩̀̋̄̚R̷̝̒͐̍Ț̸̡͓̪̣͕͇̀̌̒́̆̈́Ą̶̨̰̞̙̍̈́͒Ĺ̶̤̲̟̣͆̐̌̂̐͝C̴̛̠͓̺͕̝͂͌̈́ͅͅO̵͍̖͉̻͛͒̄͝ͅẂ̸͎̭͈̣̙̉̊͋̓͠͝Ḙ̵͈̀̏͒͆̐̎̄̚Ŗ̷͕̝̰̬̘̣͒ͅ ̷̡͖̻͎͇̘͇̓͂̀͒͊̕Į̶̰̳̺͎̈́̒̚M̵̧̫̮̞̦̝̓̎͝Ṃ̸̢̜͕͖̊̈́͝͠Ȏ̷̭͖́̄̔͜ͅŘ̵͖̦̇̄̀̐̓̑̐T̶̤̻͂́̎͛͆À̴̙͊̚̕͘L̷̨̛̮̜͔̥̬̅̓̑̂̈́̿̾ͅ
