'''Title: Past Visions'''

'''Author: Azieef'''
------------------------------------

I feel it is time I 
put down in paper the 
sordid nightmares I 
have had in hopes 
that it may be 
confirmed that either
these visions are true, 
or are merely 
madness...

I find myself floating 
over a large 
jungle...the place seems 
familiar, but I can't 
place it. I go down 
closer, the plants are 
unlike anything I've 
seen, and while some 
of the creatures are 
familiar, others were 
not. My attention is 
drawn to a rather 
thin apelike creature 
scrounging for food. 

Something about it 
made me uneasy. 
Suddenly it was 
punced on by a 
cat-like creature, dark 
as night. I only got a 
glimpse of it's odd 
face before it tore 
into the ape. It picked 
up the remains and 
carried it into the 
woods. I was compelled 
to follow it as it 
went through the 
dense jungle towards 
what looked like an 
abandoned city. 

I floated down the 
streets, watching 
several of the 
cat-beasts walk down 
the streets and into 
the odd buildings 
almost like they 
were the townsfolk of 
one of our cities. It 
was then that I heard 
a voice whispering 
"Baahg-Tu". In other 
visions I saw that 
these creatures were 
indeed the master's of 
this city, using what 
looked like ancestors 
of the lizard men as 
labor and the ape 
things as food and 
sacrifices.....

I shudder to write 
this, I found myself 
inside the largest 
building, inside a 
large chamber. Several 
of the beast, 
or Baagh-Tu as I 
now know they were 
called, were shoving 
several of the ape 
things towards a 
ghastly looking mound 
of flesh covered with 
waving tentacles with 
gibbering maws, while 
others were chanting 
in a unclean language 
and worshiping the 
monster as it took the 
screaming apes and 
devoured them. I 
noticed there were 
several statues in 
that chamber. One of 
them resembles that 
monster, another a 
beast with a tentacle 
instead of a face 
howling at the moon. 

And there was a 
cloaked figure 
represented as one of 
the idols, as well as 
what can only be 
described as a 
swirling mass of 
chaos. The final one, 
though somewhat 
smaller than the rest, 
was the form of a 
daemon. As I looked 
at this statue, a cold 
wave of familiarity 
went through me. As 
the visions wore on I 
heard several names 
in reverent whispers.
 
Azathoth, 

Yog-Sothoth, 

Nyarlathotep, 

Gothukh. 

These were 
the gods that these 
beasts worshiped, or 
were they really 
beasts? I felt that 
time has went 
forward, and I was on 
top of their dread 
temple. I looked up 
and saw several large 
rocks falling from the 
heavens. They have 
noticed too, and their 
was much confusion. 

Then the rocks 
struck, and there were 
many great 
cataclysms, which 
conspired to wipe out 
these monsters and 
their cities. Somehow 
the apes survived, and 
were crawling among 
the ruins. I was 
suddenly yanked up 
into the heavens, 
where I looked down 
and saw the familiar 
outlines of Britannia, 
the Baagh-Tu city 
was now in what 
looked like Magincia. 

I must be mad, but I 
now realize that it 
was Sosaria's past I 
saw, long before the 
Armageddon spell was 
cast. The apes were 
us.
