Amduscias
Advance.
During the 1000-year epoch, called the Age of Light, Lucifer was chained to the granite walls of the some undisclosed place in the crust of the earth; now he has broken his shackles; it is day one of the second millennium of this epoch; he is about to reappeared on the Docks of Hell.
Narrator.
They were all waiting for his return, Lucifers that is, the Adversary to God, God Almighty Himself. Euonymus, Prince of Death, now stood on the Macabre Pier, looking, just looking out into the great sea of Hades; stretching his vision as far as it would go; Amduscias, the Grand Duke of Hell, with the head of a unicorn or ram, or even human (for he could shape-shift), stood silently there also looking seaward, listening with his sharp ears of a ram for any sound of his King.
Part I
Amduscias [And the Earth Shaker
In this bloodless corpse underground world, where beings and creatures have marble feet, hypnotic eyes, wings of feathers on walking mammals, along with striking and unimaginable other human forms, the lusterless dead, saw light in this forthcoming new epoch that Lucifer was going to usher in. Amduscias, had his twenty-nine legions on high alert, waiting for orders, and for his Kings arrival, and he spoke:
Amduscias.
(All was quiet)
Said he: Amduscias, The Earth Shaker!
(Speaking in a somber
Monotone ((he felt the earth shake)) Lucifer!Lucifer He Moaned and bellowed, He comes.
His loyal friends all
Looking, looking, and looking; They all stopped dreamingbreathing, Justjuststaring, gazing, and looking: And looking, looking, looking! Waiting, waiting, waiting!
Silence covered all of Hell.
Part II
The Macabre Pier
Whence he came from No one asked! (He was just there; As everyone hyperventilated.) The Earth Shaker: Lucifer Appeared! Out of now were (Or so it seemed)
Agaliarept, the Henchman bowed As Lucif er looked about, Noticing (seeing only) The extreme decayof Hell!
Then! He looked at his Horde
In particular, Euonymus and Amduscias (The Tiamat had escaped to the sea) (Thinking, he was thinking:
Evil feared evil) For within the eyes of the Horde Evil and callous ways, lacked (But he knew it was all from boredom).
Thus, Within a moments breathe The Horde was weighed And balanced
Dark-wisdom was stillinbred.
Pacing the Macabre Pier, Trying to pluck Life back To instill digestive hate within his Flock Was not too late (He thought) Not too late to: Recoil or repeat the urges once lost.
As all Hell peered, upon his pacing Like a dragon in heat, Lucifers iridescent Green eyes, lay deep, deep Into hissockets Casting a shadow of reality for the Waiting Pack: his Horde, his Flock; As a thousand years of conflict Kept festering in those eyes.
He shock the docks foundations With his quivering eldritch dark wings A beholding sight, to say the least, As if to defy: Any and all: and bellowed (To Earth, and the High Heavens): I amthe King!!
(And His roar echoed.)
Part III
Only Bones
To Lucifer and to ask Him (now standing on the pier moving to and fro like th3 wind, all trembling at his pant; sea-wings growing larger upon his back: seven, eight, nine, ten: ten wings were flapping like a hurricane.
Lucifers Fancy.
I desire a prostitute! He said with an echo (And paralyzing: matter of fact, tone);
To Hells bent destiny:
Then Shamhat appeared. All Hell unspoken, for He was a lustful King Long gone.
All the animals, a nightmare Gathered to watch the Master Mate. With pleasure and open-eyed, All became surprised: As Appeared yellow fire from His screams, their fate Like a drunken-demigods on a chariot. Lucifer then made A mad-scramble And cast his fangs into all All that were watching All things (Beast, d-evil or man, hence Only bon es remained.)
He then washed with the waves That wallowed their way To his knees At his command. Which
Sucked a thousand-years Of grime and slime off his body; Lip to lip he wiped dry, Like a dog, a cata priest Making a sacrifice.
Part VI
Shamhat Shamhat, feeling his strength (As if by a thousand men, she was rapped.)
She tried to speak A little groan, Who am I, and why? She cried.
My harlot, hang onto my Feathers, her face like snow.
The sperm of the Adversary, Was slick and stirred, Stirred so much it made The waters tremble, like a Whirlpool (In the Sea of Hades);
As Shamhat swallowed Up quickly, she fled From his bed.
Thereafter,
He paced and paced Along the Macabre Pier
He no longer could be Arousedthis way He knew And so started to listen (Listen to voices above the crust Of the earth Human voices to curse).
With snapping wings Ten in all He laughed and laughed Like wind pipes blow-ingin g ing. Like drums beat-ing inging. Like a headmans cow giving birth.
With his horned tongue He licked the tears of laughter dry, From his face.
Part V
The Coiled Serpent
Standing now On the Macabre Pier Near the water (Like a coiled serpent; Wings and hands coiled As if bound around his body).
His skin dark, now shedding hair Like a serpent shedding skin, He felt a new excitement: Looking at his Horde; as They looked at him: Said He (definite and stern),
It is I, I hold the lamp And the wants of humanity; It was I, myself who destroyed All that could have been, All that wanted to be. Me, Me, It was meit was because God Formed man of mud And cast it into my face Like Dustto punish all of us!
(His revenge was renewed.)
Life had now reentered His body (After a thousand-years) Upward he lookedupward!
HE IMIGINED NOWEarth.
