Dracaar's Scrolls

(I discovered that what appeared to be one scroll was actually two. The contents of the top scroll have been translated from the original An’girasii language by me. I have made every attempt to translate this message as accurately as possible. My mastery of this language, however, is incomplete. The second scroll was a more personal message, also written in his original language, although it was far less formal, and thus easier to translate.—RB)


The First Scroll

“Rejoice, O’ Sons and Daughters of Man, Rejoice! For the Son of God walks among you once more! Rejoice!

“Know ye, one and all, that I have returned after lo’ these many years to fulfill the Prophecies of Old!

“Let it be known far and wide that the Lord has returned! I come bearing the Sword of Truth and the Shield of Justice. I have returned to lead my true and faithful Servants to battle against the Forces of Darkness that seek to deprive you of my Majesty, my Mercy!

“Know ye, one and all, that Witches and Sorcerers—Servants of Darkness, one and all—walk amongst you, unseen and unknown except to those who remain True and Faithful to the Lord, your God!

“Rise up! Cast down the Wicked amongst you! Those without Faith in the Lord must be cast down into the Lake of Fire, so that their Sins might be purified, their Souls cleansed of the Darkness that they serve!

“The Daughter of Death has been born! She preaches a False Faith and offers a False Hope. She is the Enemy of Enemies! She will be cast down with all who serve her!

“The End is near! The Enemy is Strong! The Time of Tribulation is upon you!”



The Second Scroll


“Whelp,

Thank you for releasing me from the prison that my traitorous son had devised for me. I have taken some time to get to know this new world, this new era in which I now find myself.

I marvel both at how much humans have changed and how much they have changed their world, yet how weak and gullible they continue to be! I will very much enjoy our time together. It will be so easy to bend the multitudes to my Will. Even in this singular nation, the pinnacle of achievement in human civilization, the multitudes cry out for true leadership. They seek succor of the soul that only I and my siblings can offer. With all of your technology, your science, your vaunted and illusory freedoms, humanity still fears that which goes bump in the night.

The time is not yet ripe for my Call to be heard by your people. When that time arrives, whole nations will tremble and fall before me. At my word, whole populations will bend to my Will, eager to serve as whatever fodder I may need.

Your time grows short whelp. Learn quickly from your father if you wish to engage me or my servants in battle.
