AFTER WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE THIRD NIGHT, SLOANE FEELS A CHANGE IN THE LIGHT AND IN A SUDDEN TORRENT, THE WHOLE UNIVERSE POURS INTO HIS CELL. THE GOD KINGS MAY YOUR EYES SEE. MAY YOUR BODY HEAR, O LIVING ONE, THE SHOUTS OF THE CURSED PRIESTS HAVE REACHED OUR EARS. THE CRIES OF DANGER ECHOED IN OUR HALLS OF LIGHT. THE PRIESTS WITH IRON FACES LIED TO YOU, POOR LIVING ONE. THE GOD THEY SEEK TO REVIVE WITH YOUR LIFE IS A GOD OF DESTRUCTION AND PAIN. IT IS THE MOST MONSTROUS ENTITY OF THESE INFERNAL REALMS. HIS NAME IS THE BLACK GOD. THOSE CREATURES WANT TO USE HIM TO ENSLAVE THE UNIVERSE. THE GREAT CHAOS WOULD THEN PLUNGE US INTO DARKNESS FOR ALL ETERNITY. DESPITE OUR POWERS WE CANNOT ACT, BUT YOU, OUR POOR UNFORTUNATE LINK TO THIS INFERNAL CHAIN, CAN RECEIVE THE MAGIC WORD. THE WORD THAT WILL THROW THE BLACK GOD BACK INTO THE OBLIVION FROM WHICH HE SHOULD NEVER BE RELEASED. CAREFUL, O LIVING ONE FOR WHEN YOU SENSE HIS PRESENCE TAINTING YOUR SOUL, ONLY THEN SHOULD YOU UTTER THE WORD YOU WILL SCREAM THIS WORD, AND THEN FORGET. FAREWELL, LIVING ONE.
