The Medium 04:36
The clairvoyant visions infuse thy mind Dimensions coexisting in a state of trance An occultist fueled, sacrifice Spellbound with confusion Chilling winds pierce my skin Called forth from the nether realm Vicious contortions Induced into the, disembodied entity It’s chains bound tightly Quivering in silence, I am now levitating Darkness devours the circle A putrid stench Fills the room Mysterious fluids leaking From within me Sulfuric fumes, seeping from pores Through transmutation Physical form reborn, I, pillars of creation The clairvoyant visions infuse thy mind Dimensions coexisting in a state of trance

Deep within the mountain's core I have reached the resting place of Xalnal'Thurak Hidden for centuries from mortal eyes, the warlock's demise, has he last been uncovered. Now his power is mine to claim. Cautiously stepping foot into the burial chamber, I begin to swiftly make my way to the sealed sarchophagus. I long to see whats been kept inside, what has been kept secret for all this time. I hear a series of latches released as doors begin to open and the draugr emerging from the shadows, I lunge forth unsheathing my sharpened blade. *spoken word from undead warlock* who dares enter my resting place at which i reside Glowing before me a silouhette of ectoplasmic energy, viscous, seeping from every crack of the tomb. Though distorted, I could still distinguish the face of the exiled one, Xalnal'Thurak *As I had planned, you have fallen into my trap. Young one. Now I will claim your body for my new vessel.* I do not wish to be your slave, I have come to claim your talisman and power for my own to wield In an instant I cast a spell, to shackle his ethereal self. His form disperses into microscopic particals that I can not control. He suddenly reappears from behind and attaches to my spine, throughout my nervous system and to my brain. He has taken control.

"Aahhhhhh" What is happening to me I feel its presence slithering throughout Every fiber of my being Am I losing my fucking mind? Is this a dream? Its contorting me, twisting my spine Over (and over) again An agonizing tortuous inception Am i truly insane? I think im losing my mind Get me out of this prison Held in mental captivity I have no control over my physical.... Self "Your body is now my vessel to do with as I please now that, I have been made whole again" What is happening to me I feel its presence slithering throughout Every fiber of my being Am I losing my fucking mind? Is this a dream? Its contorting me, twisting my spine over (and over) again An agonizing tortuous inception Am i truly insane? I think im losing my mind Falling faster into a dismal existence Possessed by a powerful apparition I have lost control over my physical self Held in mental captivity "Your body is now my vessel to do with as I please now go forth" Falling faster into a dismal existence

Seance 06:36
I, the Nazgûl of death Ichor runs in thy veins The glass mirror slowly breaks So it begins The over taking of this vessel embodies Me, Sculpting the surface Valleys created with her keratin flesh Sisters of the flame Fail to extinguish thyself Porcelain spirits emerge Hallucinations proclaim her mind Suffocated in captivity, unfolds the ancient arts Roguish apparitions unveil Sacred bridges broken No entrance of light Obsessive rituals Recoiled I’ll whisper sacrifice Porcelain spirits emerge Hallucinations proclaim her mind Suffocated in captivity, unfolds the ancient arts Roguish apparitions unveil Sacred bridges broken No entrance of light Obsessive rituals Recoiled I’ll whisper sacrifice Porcelain spirits emerge Hallucinations proclaim her mind Suffocated in captivity, unfolds the ancient arts Roguish apparitions unveil

Obstruction scene rises Mutation of the sclera blackens Embers thicken In ruins, they descend The spiritual light devoured By the void Temperatures fall In a cosmic frost Seeping fluid Begins to solidify Porous through thy teeth Ethereal entities Scatter untamed An organic slither Paints the enclosure Cranial nerves Shift viciously I feel the emptiness What lies here Immolate thy flesh Within desolation Conclude thy rituals Disintegrated affairs I lie here, for sacrifice Embrace my fate Immolate thy flesh Within desolation The spiritual light devoured By the void Temperatures fall In a cosmic frost Seeping fluid Begins to solidify Porous through thy teeth I begin to bleed Lacerations deep in Thy flesh Lost in trance Axon terminal Ignites my nerves What I’ve known as fantasy Became my reality In the depths of hell Liquidation through mutilation I can feel myself Losing control Conjuration of the sorceress Recoiled in her horrors Images of the offering Blood sipped from the cranium Obstruction scene rises Mutation of the sclera blackens Embers thicken In ruins, they descend
