| Slithering on their bellies<br>through the mire, through the muck,<br>here come they who worship,<br>at the foot of Ixir Zi. <br><br>Tears from their sun stain their land,<br>burn swamp to sand; arid desert.<br>Here their voices sing the strongest,<br>far from the sun Au.<br><br>Upon this scorched world,<br>within its fetid muck they lived,<br>now forced to desert,<br>their flesh scarred by sun most cruel. | |||
| Singers call them, act as saviors.<br>Temples grow as does her name.<br>within these halls, this hallowed ground,<br>the slithering masses teem.<br><br>Come greet the distant Gods,<br>enjoy their gifts and then cast eyes,<br>enscorcelled with chimera,<br>toward the tunnels;<br>find your way to temples 'neath the moons of Au.<br><br>Come you, slithering on your bellies,<br>the Willing wait for thee.<br>On slabs of stone, with flesh and bone,<br>only souls from you partake. | |||
| --Song of Summoning<br>Ibrexi Jikti Chief Consort to the Mother Ixir Zi<br><br>Long have words been passed of my longevity.<br>Lesser sisters come before the Mother,<br>beg the lives of consorts whose time is not yet sour,<br>bring within conversation my name,<br>then suffer the fate of all the -Willing-.<br>Defame my name, I tempt all who would,<br>but think not that I abuse my station. | |||
| I am as the next breeder; afeared in time<br>my worth will pass and I shall become the Willing.<br>When time calls I shall walk with honor<br>to that endless service, accept the hood with grace<br>and cling to the memories of my lover-Mother.<br>If the sleepers deem me worthy, may the thoughts<br>of all I have known remain for my eternal service,<br>in the prison of the hood, talon and fang. | |||
| War rages about us, winds turn cold and the Sclavus*<br><br>(* Apparently Sclavus became a commonly used word to describe the unfortunates who underwent a strange process that fused the lives and spirits of the male Falatacot and creatures called the Fiazhat.)<br><br>have failed her cause. They sleep too often, become torpid<br>as the cold winds rain into our halls.<br>The moons draw across the sky less, and the last<br>sleeper awake threatens to sleep forever.<br>She has sent a call to all sisters now. | |||
| One final ritus, one final gift before we slumber<br>as our lords beneath the world,<br>in temples of obsidian and blood.<br>Darkness has churned the war against the shadow, <br>the shadow has churned the war against the Darkness,<br>and Light has fallen 'neath Darkness's sway. | |||
| Now shall we fall dormant, knowing still that sisters<br>across seas of gold and sapphire will one day<br>crawl from turbulent dreams to awaken us.<br><br>Us, I am above my own station. A male gifted immortality. <br>So few shall be given this gift and maintain their minds.<br>The process will bring me pain and though we shall wither,<br>with the blood of our sister-mothers and brothers<br>will we wake again with strength, and vigor. | |||
| Peril lies still, while torpid, we have no guardians.<br><br>Nay, a lie. Slaughtered are unbelievers,<br>fettered to this world against their will,<br>some with memories washed clean, others with hatred<br>boiling within the minds, lacking body to perform<br>atrocity upon the Mother and her trusted children.<br>Guardians they shall be. Ever watchful of our crypt,<br>only letting those who can wake our forms again | |||
| to gain access to these hallowed halls.<br><br>Else disaster come from the world beyond <br>whereon the war of our sibling-kin grew.<br>There, across millennia, a war on nature waged.<br>Victims of the plague of life,<br>the Fiazhat, no longer worthy of ministration <br>and of eternity, forgotten.<br>Left to perish at the hands of enemies,<br>made strong by supposition, by acts of hubris.<br>Only the touch of our sibling-kin kept the threat at bay. | |||
| Woe be that day, when last the mired tunnel was opened.<br>Where we crossed with the twelve and the Mother,<br>saw atrocity given a new face, felt the burn<br>of acrid wind upon our flesh and saw the bloated<br>mass of a swamp thing drunk on power.<br>Seamless passage, hidden with arts, we fled.<br><br>Now, we return and the air is frigid.<br>Life threatens to cease in the War of Hate | |||
| and sisters flee our land. But the twelve and the Mother,<br>recalling our sister-kin who crept beneath the earth<br>with the first sleepers, have dreamed a different ending.<br>So we call, and wait; we wait and prepare,<br>soon to enact the ritus that will give us life unending,<br>but sleep eternal until blood and sacrifice.<br><br>I am gifted eternal service, with my mind intact. | |||
| Only thirteen brother-kin are given this honor,<br>I am one of the last. I am Ibrexi Jikti. | |||
