Then they
emerge onto this world to a new dawn, drawn up from their sleeping places by
the sudden dead silence of the land above.
No more footsteps walking over your grave, bipedal travel nearly wiped
out. Now things crawl about on their bellies
and breasts, things the vampires had not seen since before the coming of man
when the world was ripe with green. This
is greeted with jubilation, for the time of man has passed into the time of
monsters and magic.
The Krath,
beings so ancient and powerful that they uproot from time itself, space fluxes
around their gaze, their minds complex and eternal, stretched across the stars,
their magic terrifying, as they weaken the fabric of the universe itself to
allow for the improbable. Demons, Cyclops,
radical mutations of every kind, all spawned from the Krath’s many loins. The Krath bend the rules of logic beyond the
breaking point to serve their needs. The
Krath are both eternal and have never existed.
They are beings of duality, existing in the realm of the quantum, but
appearing large enough to overtake a city.
Their scales and tentacles are without description, shifting in fluidity
that defies human words and familiarity.
The Krath are
ancient, their lives counted in millennia.
Their fleshly knots of translucent skin and scales are indescribable by
the tongue of men. The Krath have
communicated to men through the centuries through nightmares and visions of
horror; their colossal minds overlap our own, can swallow ego whole.
Once there
was unending darkness and silence, the universe was empty and black. Then the intrusion of light, chasing the
Krath to the edge of space time where they went into hibernation, exhausted. Jealous eyes observed the emerging humans
from the deep night. Their very thoughts
offend the Krath, too loud and impish.
The idea came to all at once, possess the humans when civilization
matured; this slave race the Krath can easily overtake if not for the blinding
light, the burning purity that has intruded on their dimension of eternal
slumber and absolute zero.
