Lore
The book which holds these three passages is sinister in its intentions. No one knows quite what it is, where it came from, or what it does. All we know is that whoever finds it commits horrible atrocities before winding up deceased or disappearing in entirety. Many have tried to uncover it, most have failed. However, I fear ultimately for those who are triumphant in their journey for they no not what curse they have unveiled. I know this because I have seen what terrors it wreaks. I have seen the look in the beholders eye, like they are being tormented by something unworldly. Heed my warning, and never seek out this evil. But if you must, destroy it and the darkness that lies within, as the darkness within allows nowhere to hide.
Darkness is coming, not a moment to spare
all of your nightmares are seemingly there
the depths of your soul hosts an evil that’s lurking
which grows ever greater as the mind keeps on working
creatures and terrors all conjured by you
Darkness Within awaits the brave few.
Darkness is coming, and alas you shall see
’twas yourself that set these monstrosities free
the mind does plays tricks, obscuring true facts
something inside is under attack
and if you emerge you shall see what we mean
Darkness Within is a nightmare machine.
Darkness is coming, behold it is nigh
screams from within, unworldly beast cry
and yet there’s an urge, a pull, an effect
which lures you still closer, to see, to inspect
but none can prepare for what is inside
the darkness within allows nowhere to hide.
