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.
