[ Part IV - ]
I knew they Accursed so remote were these nameless desert Crumbling and the debris of its walls was hidden by the sands of the uncounted ages It must have thus before the first stones of were laid And the bricks of Babylon Fear from the age worn stones This desolate of the Deluge crumbling antidiluvial ancestor Of the Pyramid
Only the grim brooding Gods Knew what really place here What indescribable and bloodshed some distant throng of condemned spirits And the tomblike silence of these crumbled ravaged remains these night black ruins Of some vanguished and Temple of Belial
But as the Night wind diad the desert rim rose the Blazing of the morning sun Which in my fevered I swore that from remote depth there came a crash of metal Like a Bronze gate Clanging shut reverberations swelled out To hail the rising Sun as hails in the banks of the Nile
[This four-part epic is a tale very much inspired by H.P. Lovecraft, and to a lesser degree, Robert E. Howard. It tills the story of a rebellions Serpent cult who are plotting to overthrow Pharonic rule. They are attempting to raise the spirits of the ancient dead, to barness thei arcane knowledge and build an army of undead legions. The story takes place within the subterranean main ch.mber of the crypts of mummified reptiles (true enough, archaeologists have indeed unearthed entire necropolises containing thousand of mummified crocodiles, serpents, ancient Nile monitor lizards, and various other animals that were worshiped as personifications of the gods they represented). Within these dark and bloodstained halls are not only the remains of three millenia of generations of priests and worshippers, but also the mummified corpses of all manner of glorified reptilian deities. The leader of these rebels is standing in the midst of this vast array of Saurian entombment, inciting insurrection and preparing for some sort of violent revolution. Their ill-fated sedition comes to naught, however, when their temple is destroyed and they are all slain in a catastrophic violent climax. Whether this is perhaps divine intervention and retribution by the Sun god, Ra, or perhaps military action by the armies of the Pharaoh (who is a worshipper of Ra) putting down a violent rebellion, or merely the indiscriminate vengeance of the undead that the conspirators were seeking to enslave, is unclear. The passage that tells of the descruction and demise of the rebel fiends is reminiscent of the magickal/religious ceremony in The Book of Overthrowing Apep, in which the terrible monster serpent Apep is forever crushed by the Sun god, Ra, nver to rise up again. In the aftermath, all that is left of the Temple, the Serpent Cult and their catacombs of the tombs is a mass of rubble and forgotten ruins which are eventually covered over by the sands of time, explainined in a passage that borrows quite literally from The Nameless City by H.P. Lovecraft.]
