Title: Prophecy

Author: Lothian

I grow weak with the centuries since Lord Lithos walked free. My life may have been prolonged by the Mountain King, but it is not eternal. The tasks I have been given do not allow me to simply become a lich and wait the long years. I know the others I have raised to that fate walk and dream and plot for Lithos’s return. They cannot know I am responsible, these frail human remains, aged beyond recognition. They will see the doubt in my eyes. They will see the weakness of Lithos that only his necromancer knows.

I go to sleep now, barely breathing, waiting until enough of Lithos is free to return here and set things in motion. I have already dreamed of my replacement, not some dream directed by Lithos’s anger, but a true dream of prophecy.

He will come from a city touched by both virtue and vice, but belonging to neither. It will be the city of the evening, the Vesper star. He will share a letter and a nature with this city. The Athame of Lithos which I will hold may pass to him, helping guide him toward the Mountain King, though it alone will not control him. Mortal born and mortal remaining, he will be free to choose his path. Will he wake the earth and dead to the aid of Lithos or will he forge the lock that binds the Titan?

I hope I never walk this world again.
