Enter

{echoing}

Bring an offering!

*long pause*

[cave ambiance]

{hushed}

You..? You’ve come to answer my call?

*small pause*

Did the others send you… or did you come alone, I wonder..?

*small pause*

Did you bring my offering?

*pause*

A golden trinket. Worthless, but not to you… is it?

*small pause*

This pleases me… it will be… sufficient.

*small pause*

Avert your eyes and kneel, human.

[magic sfx]

Dare not look upon me, lest I be forced to smite you. You may gaze upon my visage when I allow it.

*small pause*
Now, little mortal. I believe introductions are in order. What is your name?

*listener responds*

No, human. Not that spoken drivel you primates say to one another. Your inner name. The thing that defines you. What is it?

*listener comments*

You don’t know? Well then, allow me to enlighten you. You are a part of a tribe. You are quite the skilled hunter if I’m not mistaken. And I believe you even have a mating partner all picked out. But that doesn’t matter anymore. Those things no longer make you. I make you. You are my servant. My plaything. And I will call you pet.

*listener accepts*

You are wise to accept my name, pet. And in return, I will share mine. I am Ying. The shadow. The moon. The dark. I summoned you for one reason, pet. I have use for your kind.

*listener questions*

Do not speak unless I directly prompt you. It is not your place, pet.

*listener apologizes*

An apology is still speaking without being asked. Remain silent, or I will lose my temper.

*small pause*

Much better, little one. Now, the reason I have summoned you. Has your kind learned how to tell a story, little one?

*listener responds*

Good, then I need not explain what they are. I can simply tell you mine.

*small pause*

I am eternal. Ancient. Second to none, but equal to one. Yang. Yang and I have… a sort of rivalry. A game we play. In our last game, I won, and so balance would suggest that Yang will win this one. However, I have no intention to lose.

*small pause*

This era’s game is simple. War. Do you understand what war is, pet?

*listener speaks*

A good guess for a mortal, but no. True war… our war… cannot be described. It cannot be taught or learned. It is simply an experience, that exists to those who know it and hides from those who don’t. However, your musings do hold a little truth. To go to war, one must fight. And fighting mortals is beneath me.

*small pause*

However, it is not beneath you. Nor any of your people. So, you will fight for me.

*small pause*

Your thoughts betray you, pet. I can sense your doubt. Maybe even a flit of rage. You do not want to fight for me. But you will. You will serve me, and I will guide you. Through my guidance, you will lead the others. And together, you humans will bring about my victory.

*small pause*

Why were you the one to bring this offering to my cave, pet? My call rang through each of your little skulls. Any of you could have entered, but it would seem your little tribe elected you. Why?

*listener states*

You volunteered?

(laugh)

You volunteered to enter a cave, armed with nothing but a golden toy, to see a creature you did not understand?

*listener confirms*

Truly, you are a mortal after my own heart, pet. I think you’ve earned a reward. The first of many if you remain obedient. Would you like to know what your reward is?

*listener speaks*

Can you feel my hand on your chin? No, don’t answer that, I know you can. What I am truly asking is, do you understand how much bigger I am than you? How much stronger I am than you?

*listener confirms*
Good. Then you understand what my first gift is. Mercy. With only this form, I could crush your head like a grape. I choose not to. You are welcome.

*small pause*

Ah, quite the smart little pet. Not responding. I think that earns you your second reward. Assuming you can stay sane long enough to receive it.

*small pause*
In a moment, you will open your eyes. I will render myself bare before you, in all my glory. Lesser creatures often lose themselves to lust the second they see me. Let us hope you are not… lesser.

*small pause*

Open your eyes, pet. And do not think of looking away. I’d be greatly insulted if you rejected my gift.

*small pause*

Ah, this is good. You’ve not started drooling. Much. Although I suppose this is all that can be expected of a mortal.

*small pause*

Tell me, pet. Now that you see me, what do you think?

*listener responds*

Very good. You’ve told me exactly what I wanted to hear, and I can see you are not lying. You may survive this encounter yet.

*small pause*
I have a final gift for you. Can you guess what it is?

*listener guesses*

No. My first gift was Mercy. And after mercy came truth. Now, comes my favorite gift. Dominance.

*small pause*

I will grant you power, pet. I will gift you strength beyond your being, wisdom beyond your years, and life beyond the shackles of mortality. All you have to do to receive it, is submit.

*small pause*

I will grant you dominance over the other mortals, as soon as you prove to me that you understand your place. That you know who commands who here.

*small pause*

Ask me how you are to prove yourself, pet.

*listener asks*

To prove yourself, you must look into my eyes, pet. Gaze deeply into them, and I will do the rest.

*small pause*

Feel yourself fall into them. Allow your perception to blur as you become consumed by my eyes. I am your everything. I am all you have.

*small pause*

You are my pet. You want to serve me. You know that if I am happy, I can give you bliss stronger than any you’ve ever felt, and if I am angry, I can erase you and your legacy. You want to keep me happy pet.

*small pause*

Say it.

*listener repeats*

Very good, pet. You have pleased me. Pick your golden bauble off the floor, and hand it to me.

*listener obeys*

With these two hands, I have crafted worlds, and destroyed monsters you can not comprehend. And now, I take your, paltry gift, and I will transform it into something better.

*magic sfx*

And just like that, it is ready. Hold still, pet. I must plant it on you.

[flesh burns]

Shhhh, shhh, do not scream. This is how it must be.

*small pause*

Breathe, pet. It is done. Your gift to me has been returned a thousand-fold. The little bauble that I’ve inserted into you is your link to me. It will grant you a fraction of my power, and allow me to commune with you whenever I so choose.

*small pause*

Take pride, my pet. Our bond is sealed. The deal stuck. With my guidance, you humans will make great kingdoms, and incredible inventions. I will lead you though these dark ages to victory against Yang and whatever else strikes out against you. As long as you follow me, you will be safe. Safe in my arms, forever.

*small pause*

Now. Go back to your people. Declare what I have told you. Renounce your old role and forsake your chosen mate. Take what is yours. Take what is mine. Rule them, my pet. Rule them as I see fit.

*small pause*

I can sense you wish to ask a question. I will allow it.

*listener asks*

Pet. How you get the humans to fall in line is up to you. I am focused on the bigger picture. Beat them, help them, perform a miracle and declare yourself God. I do not care. But know that if your methods fail, I will be disappointed. And from my disappointment will come punishment.

*small pause*

Now go little one. I expect a unified tribe by the time the sun falls. Then I will give you further instructions.
