Hail the Darkness!
Demon of Misery:
HAIL! I feel you like broken glass beneath my skin. I feel you at the sides of
my skull, and in my throat, shoulders, chest, and back. The millstone of life
grinds me like corn. All of my illusions are pulverized. No one and nothing
will save me. I can only bide my time. If I survive and escape, I must never
again fall into this predicament.
Demon of Despair:
HAIL! I feel you clench my insides like a vise. I feel your grip in my throat,
my solar plexus, my bowels, and my loins. No hope! My strength and my cunning fail
me. Wherever I turn, I face my insufficiency. I have no power, no luck, no resources,
no plan. I have nothing but ash and dust.
Demon of Revulsion:
HAIL! I feel your tremors like a quake within me. I feel you at the back of my
skull, all over my face, and in my throat, shoulders, elbows, hands, chest, and
back. This – this thing – it must not be! It must be expelled from existence! I
myself must expel it. I call down annihilation!
Demon of Horror:
HAIL! I feel you push me backwards. I feel your force propel my head, my torso,
my hips, and my legs. I back away, whimpering. Awful – so awful – my sanity feels
vulnerable and exposed. I must defend my lucidity at all cost. I would gibber
and mutter and mumble and moan – but I must not. I must put up a shield.
Hail the Darkness!
(Any of the above
can be incorporated into cathartic ritual if it fits your infernal aesthetic.
You can of course modify them if your own bodily experience differs from mine.)
“Hello Darkness, my
old friend.” ISCHYROS DIAVOLOS!
