Seeker of Thrones 5-53
Chapter: 5
“A curious fact – the Institute of Fractal Archivists insisted to me today they had found a peculiar period of history prior to the Second Conquest that according to their ontoscopes does not exist. Nearly two centuries to which a huge host of historical inaccuracies and inconsistencies have been attributed – I am familiar with the period myself. They theorize that this is because the period only existed for some people; that is to say the flow of time itself, the turning of the great wheel, was tampered with.
It is, of course, a preposterous explanation, though so very convenient I am inclined to believe it.”
-Payapop Pritram, personal notes S.C. 2420
Himself uses opposite speech doesn’t he.
Guys I don’t knew if anyone noticed but they made a slight jojo bizarre adventure reference in this chapter
Guys, did you noticed that they made a slight jojo bizarre adventure reference in this page
If Allison falls for this fucker’s tricks she’ll deserve whatever she gets. I mean it’s not at all obvious that she has something everyone wants, so nobody is going to try to talk her into a mindfuck or anything. Nosirree.
“A friend of mine islanguishing in a fucking vault somewhere”.
You know, I had honestly forgotten that she is doing all this to save her boyfriend, whom is still believed by his captors to be the destined King.
Aspire for more, King Allison!
Himself is no liar.
Therein lies the danger.
So a weird thought:
1.) Starting with the obvious, “I am that I am” is a known reference to the Abrahamic God.
2.) Abbadon has mentioned that he had initially intended to call Incubus “Michael”, which means “[he] who is like God.”
3.) The Hot Black Flame that the Devils embody is hungry and consumptive; a Devil’s Kiss will eventually consume its bearer and from them make more Devil-stuff.
4.) Incubus’s lair is full of those whose power he has unlocked, withered and desiring more.
5.) I don’t know exactly where I’m going with this or what it means, but I strongly believe that the narrative juxtaposition of Incubus with the Devils is going to end up being pretty significant.
So many words.
Is this why we came here?
Ayem. ”who?” Ayem!
“To exist, we need an echo.”
I’d roll my eyes, but I really do like a good “ourselves is the greatest evil” story.
The tethered face of subjectcaptor constitutes the negative space of a withoutwall cage.
The eyes of devils pry deep, none deeper than the king of all devils.
I YAM WHAT I YAM
There are perhaps three copies of the book-like crystal whose name, translated, reads “On H I M S E L F “. Not in that they were lost or destroyed, but that the crystalline substance the Nytthe make their so-called books out of is time consuming to work with, often taking a decade or more to transcribe a single chapter. The fourth copy is being worked on as this time, and is expected to be finished in another six centuries, give or take for editing.
Despite the rarity of the book, it is highly sought by Devils, as it contains theories as to the nature of the King of Devils, and if there is anything Devils desire, it is secrets to power. The most notable and disturbing theory is that HIMSELF is not technically an Ebon Devil, for Ebon Devils have a single name. The theory is that HIMSELF has scythed off even that final name, while somehow avoiding reverting to primal chaos. How such a thing could be possible is not explained, even in that rare crystalline text.
But the theory would explain the King’s numerous confirmed and apocryphal powers. If this theory is true, then HIMSELF is the Hot Black Flame, a fundamental shard of existence itself, and his awareness of all things touched by Devilry is absolute.
I have a sneaking suspicion that our friends are sitting in a stomach.
I fucking love this comic…
The devil is the room, the cage is the only true mirror.
Well well well, so the christian God turns out to be the devil.
“I”, the eight syllabe of royalty that should be forgotten instead.
so speaked Jack ‘N’ Box…
Individual identity, truly the darkest of devilry. A name given to itself.
Anyone else notice the clock stopped ticking when shit got real?
Must be quite refreshing to have someone cut straight to the point.
No dancing around the issue in twisted words today.
I AM MY OWN SPECIAL CREATION.
Hey , people , i dont think this SCP properly contained. Or at all. How about revising containment protocol for this one ?
