Necronomicon by Abdhul Alhazred

....Presently , I heard a voice, softly, some distance away and a more practical fear, that of the possibility of robbers, took hold of me and I rolled behind some weeds, trembling. Another voice joined the first, and soon several men in the black robes of thieves came together over the place where I was, surrounding the floating rock, of wich they did not exibit the least fright.

I could see clearly now that the three carvings on the stone monuments were glowing a flame red color, as though the rock was on fire. The figures were murmuring togethere in prayer and invocation, of wich only a few words could be heard, and these in an unknown tounge; though, Anu have mercy on my soul!, these rituals are not unknown to me any longer. The figures, whose faces I could not see or recognise, began to make wild passes in the air with knives that glinted cold and sharp in the mountain night. From beneith the floating rock, out of the very ground where it had sat, came rising the tail of a serpent. this serpent was surly larger than any I had ever seen. THe thinnest sections thereof was fully of the arms of two men, and as it rose from the floor it was followed by another, although the end of the first was not seen as it seemed to reach down into the very Pit itself. These were followed by still more, and the ground began to tremble under the pressure of so many of these enormous arms. The chanting of the priests, for I knew them now to be the servants of some hidden power, became much louder and very nearly hysterical

IA! IA! ZI AZAG! IA! IA! ZI AZAKAK! IA! IA! KUTULU ZI KUR! IA! KAL VAL ZEN KORP! IA! IA! IA! The ground where I was hiding became wet with some substance, being slightly downhill from the scene I was witnissing. I thouched the wetness and found it to be blood. In horror, I screamed and gave my presence away to the priests. They turned toward me, and I saw with loathing that they had cut up their chests with the daggers they had used to raise the stone, for some mystical purpose I could not divine; Although I know now that the blood is for the very food of these spirits, wich is why the field after battles of war glows with and unnatural light, the manifestations of the spirits feeding thereon.

May Anu protect us all!!
