Chapter 44 - 44: Poems of Another World (Prayer to the Cult of Power)

King of Red, winged terror of the sky

Oldest of the colors, wailer of the boundless pain 

Your powerful maw spewing the first flame 

Scales haunt and mesmerizing, indescribable Red

To worship you is to worship power

God of wrath and fire.

***

Hail Persephorot, the god who burns the world!

Bane of Aurum, Slayer of Demigods, Devourer of Hatred

Consume my pain, my anguish

Take my power and rage; eat it!

To live a life of weakness is to surrender to strength

So shall I be forever weak under your wing

***

But you will take wrath and turn it into vengeance!

Set ablaze the world if you must

Turn every man, woman, and child to ashes!

Let all surrender their resentments to Red

Let all disavow their strength to you!

And savor well our hate, for it is our will

***

Persephorot the Red, primordial dragon of Red

I surrender all my power to you

So take my hatred too

And burn the world!
