As I stood upon the hill Mist grew over the rocks Jagged they stretched Out of the ground And sitting upon one of them I noticed a peculiar figure Drapped in a tattered cloak It sat solemnly in the fog I drew closer and introduced myself But I recieved no reply Then after a time the being moved Bringing it's legs to the ground As it did I jumped back For it stood several heads above me Though its presence encompassed me It so moved forward to where I stood As the figure stood before I noticed time begin to slow The being's cloak shifted in the wind Revealed strange bones underneath Time drew still and as it did The cloaked figure spoke "Raalm Nerakka Sitar. What stands before you Is insurmountable, and what lies behind You is unattainable. Yet as with your fathers before you, and those who would seek the gates, I will see you to the end." With these words, the strange being Bent down to my level Staring into me With his hollow eyes And then he vanished Along with the fog

He Among the Sleep
As I stood upon the hill Mist grew over the rocks Jagged they stretched Out of the ground And sitting upon one of them I noticed a peculiar figure Drapped in a tattered cloak It sat solemnly in the fog I drew closer and introduced myself But I recieved no reply Then after a time the being moved Bringing it's legs to the ground As it did I jumped back For it stood several heads above me Though its presence encompassed me It so moved forward to where I stood As the figure stood before I noticed time begin to slow The being's cloak shifted in the wind Revealed strange bones underneath Time drew still and as it did The cloaked figure spoke "Raalm Nerakka Sitar. What stands before you Is insurmountable, and what lies behind You is unattainable. Yet as with your fathers before you, and those who would seek the gates, I will see you to the end." With these words, the strange being Bent down to my level Staring into me With his hollow eyes And then he vanished Along with the fog
