//------------------------------// // The Red Laments // Story: The Book Of The Lore // by Jaycren //------------------------------// 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?

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.

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.
