Books, there is nothing that has been written yet that does justice to the Old Ones or any other powers worthy of mention. You mortals write about any feebleminded half-breeds or humans. It leaves a sharp pungent taste in my mouth. You waste such little time you have left, your death is to come and yet you sit and read stories about a man that healed the dead. I came across an old book filled with Holy Scriptures that followers call The Bible where a primitive named Jesus performed miracles. He interested me. I read his Word, how puerile your minds are. To follow a man you have never met and yet have such fear of him. If fear is what primitives require to follow then I shall show you such terrors that the dead will rise in fear of the hell and brimstone I will bring forth. Criterion that would be meritorious and scrolled down, my followers would guard it with their lives. Knowledge is sacred yet you mortals spew your filthy lies to all whom will listen, your adolescent gods may not strike you down for your blasphemy but I am not as kind as those trinkets your bow down.
