> The Book Of The Lore > by Jaycren > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > The Red Laments > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- What happens when The Elements die? When Loyalty falls to Betrayal? When Laughter falls to Despair? When Honesty falls to Deception? When Generosity falls to Greed? When Kindness falls to Cruelty? When Forgiveness falls to Vengeance? When Magic falls to Isolation? What arises then? What arises out of The Broken once all things fail? What can be done when Loyalty Betraying births Obsession When Honesty Deceiving births Criticism? When Laughter Despairing births Insanity? When Generosity Avaricious births Sacrifice? When Kindness Sadistic births Brutality? When Magic Forsaking births Conformity? When Compassion Intolerant births Judgment? What Hope is there? What Hope is Deserved? How is The Horror stopped when even The Gods have turned With Sunlight Darkened? With Moonlight Corrupted? With Chaos Static? Who do Those Who Strive Under The Oppressors turn to when even Love is Possession Lust is Addiction Rage is Unchecked When even the Darkness is no comfort for the toil of the Day When Day and Night are hateful When all Wonders cease And Food becomes ash While Water refuses to quench Who do We call that will answer when all things end? When Children die and the Old linger? Call to the Monsters Call to the Horrors Call to Those Which The Gods Held Back The Cthon Call to Those Long Dead The Titans Call to Those Who Have Been Bound The Old Ones Call to Those Who Should Never Have Been The Elder Beings Call to Those Who Have Been Forsaken The Children Of The Heroes Fallen Eclipse Exclusive Drudge Freak Twitch Seizure Call to The Hated The Spawn Of The Gods Burn Freeze Anarchy Call To The Hidden Call To The Possessed Call To The Addicted Call To The Unchecked Call and They will answer Call and They will rise Call and They will burn this world Call and They will consume all And What They will build will last until all things End And the last to die will be Death And Silence will fill the world Such will come to pass For all Things turn to their Season One to the Next Untill Winter shall last forever as all things must die Such are the Red Laments, Let All who read these never share that which is learned here. For those that do must be careful not to misinterpret. For the telling of the verses and the placement of the words indicate that these where meant to be sung. A Viral Heartsong, that can contaminate all with its message. That one day the Heroes of this world will fall to corruption and then the only hope will be to call such monsters, that to save that which is good and pure we must destroy that which is good and pure. Blessing upon your understanding of My words, lest thee mishandle the dark that which resides inside. The Unlidded Eye always sees. tHE rED lamMENTS DO MORE then jUST iNFEct With THEie mEsSAGE THE pROpAgATION IS tO EnsURE that THE MESSAGE is nEVEr FORgotteN. fOR TO foRgEt tHat wHICH is IN tHIS Book, is to allow the events to happen, harken to my words for my time be short. Take caution about spreading the message in the red laments, but this secret must never be forgotten, lest the neverborn take hold in Equestria and the above become certainy. All of that which is contained within can be changed, lest we forget. The Unlidded Eye always sees, for we are the Left Eye of God, as others act as our Left Hands. May the words above never come to pass, but to be sure of such, the words must be known by those that can best counter them. May the Unlidded Eye never need to act. May The Elements always be enough.

May such spare thee the oncoming tribulation. May these words help guide the prevention of what has been seen. The Visions of The Lady Who is Three and The Lady Who Is One guide us and may Luna and Celestia always walk in her sight. Curse these visions, Low let the Red Laments be brought to a close, for the Unlidded Eye must pass from all knowledge, forever more blinded, vanishing from all things. We who are cursed and blessed to see, understand the madness of old. For seeing and understanding are two different things. Thus even those that see may be led astray and thus cause the very thing that they try to prevent. Let none that have not the blessing of our Lady That is One read these words, for they have not the understanding. Let these secrets never be told, let them never be forgotten. Blessed be. > Ars Familia: Lineage > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- AZ. A Treaty on The Lineage and Descent Of Those Beings Summoned BY.

Unconfirmed Messages Of Our Ladies Three. Blessed Be The Mother Of Adam That Hath Also Birthed Cain. Let All Know That These Verses Are Forbidden, Are False. But Must Be Included Lest They Be Forgotten, For Though We Hope That We Are Right And That This Knowledge Be False, We Dare Not Risk Losing Even That Which Has Never Been Repeated. Three, Three, Three. All Numbers Are Three Three, Three, Three. All Numbers Are Three Three, Three, Three. All Numbers Are Three The Fourth Is Sheilded Heart Winter Falls Before Their Eternal Fire The Fourth Is Violent Lust Born Of Their Death's Will Be Flurry's Protector The Fourth Is Love's Birth For Only Kindness And Chaos Can Birth Love From Them Shall Come Those That Shall Save or Destroy Us All Bless These Final Words And Keep Them Hidden Lest The Enemies At The Root Of All Things Find The Guardians Before The Guardians Are Prepared But Never Forget, For Those That Wait Those That Corrupt Those That Seal Those That Freeze Those That Enforce Those That Hunt They Will Never Forget In Forgetting We Fail In Forgetting We Fall These Are Those Heresies That Appear Alongside The Red Laments. They Have Been Spoken By Only One DIscordant Oracle. One That Does Not Know The Glory Of The Three That Are One. No Others Have Spoken Of These Things. No Others Have Called Them Into The Darkness. But He Has Never Been Wrong, Even Though We Hope That Just This Once He Will Be. The Nameless One, The Prophet Mentioned Above, Also Differs On One Other Matter. Bless These Words, Even As You Fear Them. For They May Foretell The Rise Of The Child Of Rage And Lust. Please Let Him Just This Once Be Wrong. For We Can Not Trust Such A Child With Such A Precious Treasure One Of Blood Sired The First From The Mirror Gate Beloved Of The Self Exiled Daughter One of Knowledge Lost The Second Is Held In The Crystal Castle In Her Remembrance Is He Found. One Of Shadow Sired The Third Is Held In Coldest Heart Feared By Her Summoner To Friendships Home They Shall Gather He Laughs upon us all, this Heretic of Our Order. We may not silence him, for the Ladies forbid it, for Luna, Celestia, and Discord forbid it. For The Head Of Out Order Forbid It. What Hold Does He Have? That Those Most Sacred Of Beings, That Even Order And Chaos Move Not Against Him. But He Has Never Been Wrong And His Words Have Been Decreed To Never Be Forgotton, So Shall They Be Remembered. So Shall They Be Recorded. He Differs As Well In The First Part Of The Red Laments, Those Called The Bloody Laments For The Tradition That They Always Be Written In Red Ink To Honor Them First Being Written In The Blood Of The First Oracle To Speak Them. Upon Her Very Skin. In Her Own Hand. So Of Course He Writes Them According To His Whim And We Are Forced To Record His Version As He Has Decreed It. As He Wrote His First "Installment" So We Write It. What Happens When The Elements Die When Loyalty Falls To Envy When Laughter Falls To Wrath When Honesty Falls To Greed When Generosity Falls To Gluttony When Kindness Falls To Sloth When Forgiveness Falls To Pride When Magic Falls To Lust What Is Called Then? How Shall These Broken Heal Equestria After All Others Have Failed? Who Shall Heal Them That Heal Us? For All Debts Must Be Balanced As All Must Be In Harmony What Can Be Done When Loyalty Betraying Is The Father Of Obsession Twitch That Shall Be Known As Suspicious Bystander, The First To Be Born Of Three Parents What Can Be Done When Friendship Isolating Is The Father Of Eclipse Eclipse That Shall Be Known As Obsidian Nightshade The First To Be Drawn From Changeling Brood. What Can Be Done When Laughter Is The Father Of Insanity That Shall Be Known As Thus Shall The First Of The Seals Shall Be Broken On The Deaths Of Those That Wait And Those That Corrupt. Their Names Known As Oblivion Their Names Called As The Wyrm Thus The First Of The Seals That Keep All At Bay Shall Fracture And In The Victory Of The Called Shall Be Freeing Of The Doom. This He Will Mutter And No More. We Know That He Sees Further Ahead, But He Scorns Us, Yelling Of Spoilers. He Scorns Our Ladies As Well. He Scorns All But Celestia, Luna, And Discord. He Is Loyal To Them. He Is Loyal To Equestria Or So He Claims. He Has Never Been Wrong, Nor Has He Ever Lied. But Please By The Ladies Be Wrong Just This Once. For This Reason These Are Declared Heresies, For This Reason They Are Recorded. For In Forgetting We Fail, In Forgetting We Fall
