The prophesy of the Second Son was communicated in oral form
for almost two centuries before it was written down. It was
translated in several languages but it was first written in
Gemay, a language that became popular in the lower kingdoms of
Opots for several centuries. Because of this oral history and
the translations it is unclear if parts of the prophesy have
been lost.
Perhaps as a way to remember the prophesy it was
turned into a child’s song. The song remained popular long after
the original prophesy was forgotten.
The second son
Of the second son
Of the second son
Wants to be praised
But beware
He will bring darkness all his days
The madness burns within him
The anger and the pain
The people fled before him
For his wrath not to gain
The masters shrieked in horror
At the evil they created
The world called to darkness
Holy altars desecrated
The doors to hell were opened
The monsters, the insane
Were set upon the children
What was to be gained?
Those who revel in the shadows will cast a curse
upon mankind of such diabolic proportions as to
destroy the world. The seeds of men themselves
will raise up and destroy them. The seeds of life,
the seeds of men will be cursed and this curse will
be passed down from the second son to the second son
to the second son. Three generations will bring
forth monsters. As mothers bear their sons so will
these cursed seeds bear their demons.
But those who would create such darkness
will lose control of the monsters they create. The
sons will devour the fathers. The monsters will
devour their masters.
