| The Signs Of Gehenna |
| Quiet!Hear the ravens cry!The stillness of the wind rising hot on the street the towers hide the darkness of the day. When Lasombra's dreams come true,on the day when the moon runs as blood and the sun rises black in the sky,that is the day of the Damned,when Caine's children will rise again. And the world will turn cold and unclean things will boil up from the ground.And great storms will roll,lightening will light fires,animals will fester and thier bodies,twisted,will fall.So,too, our Grandsires will rise from the ground.They will break their fast on the first part of us.They will consume us whole. On the second day,Caine will return.And call his Children to a meeting place on the site of the First City he will beckon them,sitting on his besalt throne.And Caine will call aloud the names of those to be destroyed,fro their crimes are too great.And all those who have consumed the heart's blood of their sire,will be brought before the Black Throne,and made to drink of Caine's Blood.And Caine's blood will eat their blood.And the Dark Mother herself will be brought forth and there,in the valley of Enoch,will there be a battle,a duel of Dark Father and Dark Mother.The Demon queen will bite deep,the Damned Father will bite deeper.We will not know the things which will happen,but the sky will tear apart,and the earth below,and the forces of Hell will pour up out of the ground. On the third day,there will be silence.The crows will feed on the carrion,plaque will dance amongst the ruins.The last of the Wild Ones will leave this place,the last of the Moon-Beasts will fight and fall.And the Antideluvians will make for themselves an Empire of Blood.They will rule with iron talons.They will wrench the hearts of all still alive.And the full sum of the earth's living will come and live in the Last City,called Gehenna.And there will be a reign of one thousand years,and there will be no love,or life,or pity,the mighty will be as slaves and the virtuous will be made foul ever good gift.And every perfect gift will be tainted by the Father of Darkness,whose power will come from the nether realms.When the snow consumes the earth and the sun gutters like a candle in the wind,then,and only then will there be born a woman,the last Daughter of Eve,and in her there will be decided the fate of all.And you will not know this woman,except by the mark of the Moon on her,and she will face treachery,hatred,and pain...but in her is the last hope. And you will know these last times by the time of the Thin Blood,which will mark vampires that cannot beget.You will know them by the Clanless,who will come to rule.You will know them by the Wild Ones,who will hunt us even in the strongest city.You will know them by the awakening of some of the Eldest,the Crone will awake and consume all.You will know these times,for a black hand will rise up and choke all those who oppose it.And those who eat heart's blood will flourish,and the Kindred will crowd each to his own,and vitae will be as rare as diamonds. Mark these signs,they are comming!Gehenna will be on earth.Mark the shadow which flies,mark the dragon which rises,mark the darkness which moves,mark the shadow of the moon,mark the angel that dies,mark the maiden who weeps,mark the children Embraced,mark the Clanless who run.And there will be a time,when Sire will drive out Childer,when Sire will abandon Childer,to the sun's mercy.And there will be no mercy for the Clanless,there will be no mercy for the Clanless.Mongrel though they be upon their forgotten Sires,shall be the curse of Auriel.Upon their hateful Sires shall be the curse that comes of crossing Caine.Upon their lazy Sires shall be the curse of the hunters hunted. Those among the Clanless will have no path to follow,no family to name,no generation to hold,no traditions to keep,no customs to give,no hospitality to give.Why do you make these orphans?Why do you leave them in the streets?They are the dark seed of our undoing.They will band together with those who hate us. They will follow Brujah's Childer.They will make the blood run red.They are going to kill the dead.They are going to eat our Kin.They will scream and bash our doors. They will cry aloud for justice.Clanless,all,they will wash over our walls.Clanless, all,they will know secret ways.Clanless,all,they are Lilith's foul get.Clanless,all,they are newly Awake.Clanless,all,No family,no sign,no loyalty,no elder.Beware those who walk without a clan,for they will be our undoing.Pity them!Adopt the orphans where you can.But watch them.In them is the bad seed of their Sire. |
