The Dreamer-Warrior

A Fan Fiction by M'Aiq and "I am the Walrus!"

Caring little for their struggles, and Vehk Came to The Cottages of The Little Men of Mind and of KnowLedge. Vehk came unto them and looked in the 3 directions that aren't. They flattered him in that the men who knew nothing were of everything. They Examined him and being of the ignorant suun-daughters of lorkhan, they Baffled themselves in shame for they knew nothing. they Told him that He must bring the tree of hidden knowledge to the Old skooma son of lorkarn. Vehk saw the ignorance in them was not compliable with the word that is royal, and taking muatra from his chitin, he stroke them down and spake:

"HOURS IN DEATH YOUR SPIRITS ARE CLEANS-ED. THE GREATEST MERCY I HAVE BESTOWED UPON YOU, IGNORANT SON-DAUGHTERS OF LORKHAN. AE ALTADOON GHARTOK PADHOME. THE GREATEST IS MISSING, FIND IT TO UNDERSTAND AND YOU SHALL SEE THE DREAMING DREAMERS. VEHK SAID THIS"

Into the SPIRITS bowed before the mercy of the Lord of Middle air, for his compassion Was great and his Mercy dually MISPlaced.

Men who reviled the spirits fled, for they knew not the secret word, which was revealed inside this.

VEHK CAMES TO THE SQAURES LIVINGS OF HIS PEOPLE, BUT SAW THEY WERE DIFFERENT IN THERE WAYS.

"WHO ARE THOSE WHO ONCE STOOD HERE BUT NOW ARE CHANGED?" spake Vehk.

And THEY FEARED.

AND SO THE WORD ENDS IN VEHK FOR HE IS VEHK WHO HAS FACED THE TRIALS OF THE TURBULENT TIMES AND HAS BEEN VICTORIOUS AND HIS ENEMIES AND FEAR GRIPS THEM AND THE CURSE WHICH WAS IS LIFTED FOR THERE WAS NO CURSE AND THE FORTOLD IS COME FOR HE IS DEFEAT AND THE CREATURE AND HE IS COME IS NOT HIM BUT HE IS VEHK AND VEHK DAUGHTER OF MEPHALL IT HIM AND HE IN THE END MUST FACE WHAT COMES TO PASS BUT IT HAS ALREADY BEEN FACED THE LIVING LIE HAS BEEN FACED AND HE UNDERSTAND BUT HE MUST FACE THE NOT LIE FOR WHICH ALL IS.

Unopened eyes turned skywards in vain,
as the LORD OF MIDDLE AIR set foot on ground,
descended from the hollow beast of burden,
HE had set his foot in the living stone-forest,
carving descending steps on his way,
to the TASKMASTER of LIARS, THIEFS and SHADOWS,
VEHK was headed,
carrying with him the weight of the unbroken SIGIL,
contents of which were in UNKNOWING and UNKNOWN.

No offence but the red font is not very appealing to the eye.

I disagree, personally. I think it's an interesting use of a different font color and type from the norm, reminiscent of the red inks hand-copyists might use for this kind of text.

I'm with Solidor and Peleus. Red font is nice, but only on red or light colored backgrounds, such as parchment or vellum. On the dark gray background used on the forum, it's impossible to read, especially when combined with a lightweight font. Not enough contrast. Like Solidor, I had to highlight it to read it.

That's enough to put me off anything constructive to say about the content. :shrug:

Fine, I'll change the damn colour. Seriously, when someone writes something, every comment in the thread is about the colour of the text? >.>

I use the parchment-looking background. Maybe that's why it works for me.

As for the actual content, it does sound like something one might find in some kind of lost or hidden sermon of Vivec.
