I became the Great Old One

He watched his two children leave the city and drift away until their figures were swallowed up by the deep darkness in the wilderness and disappeared from his sight.

Adam reluctantly withdrew his gaze from his descendants.

The entire palace was empty.

He didn't know if it was Adam's illusion, but he always felt like he could hear footsteps moving around in the palace, the sticky sound of wet worms crawling, and the sound of flesh being torn apart like murder.

He walked through the palace's wide corridors.

Return to your throne.

The fire was still burning vigorously on the candlestick, and the oil collected from whales could keep the flame burning all night long.

It's just that the fire ignited by whale oil showed a faint white color. Usually, Adam didn't think there was anything wrong with such a flame. But now when he saw the pale flame on the candlestick, Adam always thought of those wandering outside the palace. The Dragonborn, and the high priest who fell in front of him before.

call!

Adam blew hard into the candlestick.

The flame went out.

The palace fell into darkness, with only the all-pervasive starlight shining through the gaps in the windows, and the whispers in the darkness seemed to become more dense.

"My perception was blinded by that monster, and what I saw was not necessarily what really happened."

Adam thought, "Since my perception is blinded, my thoughts may also be disturbed by monsters... This is absolutely not allowed. As a priest, I cannot betray my people, and as a king, I cannot betray my people."

"I should record what is happening...use stones and fire to fight against the evil god hidden in the darkness and starry sky."

Adam took a deep breath and his expression gradually became firmer.

"This is the first day of the disaster. The light from the stars falls from the night, but what brings the Dragonborn is not a blessing but a disaster. A terrible plague spreads in the city. The servants of the Primeval Fire are infected by the plague. Twisted into a monster by the evil power carried in it, as the king of the Dragonborn, I am determined to fight against this terrible plague and blockade the city until the evil god is completely driven out of this land. "

"This is the third day of the disaster. I am hunting in the dark those descendants who have fallen into madness. Those descendants infected by the plague have become crazy and terrifying, and even I have to face them. I was cautious, but fortunately I sent my children out of this city. I hope they can arrive in Gatan safely, and I hope Kosvo can teach them well... I am not a qualified father, and maybe I am not a qualified king either. ”

"This is the seventh day of the disaster. I was injured in the battle with the monster. Something terrible happened. I saw clusters of tentacles and teeth growing out of the wound. I even saw a tooth deep in the flesh. The eyes kept twisting and looking at me with joy... I tried to dig out the eye, but more mutations appeared in the wound, and I could only choose to give up... Fortunately, the flame given by the gods is still there Burning in me."

"Thank you God for your blessing. You are so generous and merciful. Even though my body has fallen, you still have not given up your blessings to me."

…

"Three months, maybe longer, have passed... I have never felt the passage of time be so painful. There are more and more changes in my body, the stars have become brighter, and sometimes I can see people in the sky during the day. I saw the brilliant stars in the sky and the eyes hidden in the stars. It became increasingly difficult to understand what was happening in the city. My poor descendants were holding blasphemous rituals in the square, praising the evil god... I rushed forward angrily and took down the altar. Destroyed, but those heirs knelt down and prayed to me... What happened? "

"The brilliant stars appear in the sky regardless of day or night. I can no longer feel the passage of time. I woke up from the nightmare and saw the deformed people under the throne praying to me. Our gods only have the original The God of Fire, that is the original and only god, but when I drew my sword angrily and slashed at them, the blade passed through the monster like a phantom... I sadly realized that I saw The thing is no longer believable, that monster has completely distorted my perception.

Fortunately, I still have clear thinking... I am an embryonic egg born among the stars, and I am the gospel of the color of the stars. "

…

"Loneliness struck me faster than evil spirits. I can't remember how long I haven't had a real rest. I don't remember the last time I had a sincere conversation with someone... I started trying sculptures, and that It’s a craft I learned from a tribal leader when I was young. Fortunately, I still remember some of it. I used the stones in the palace to carve out the appearance of a trance. The god opened his eyes in the starry sky and stared at me silently.”

"It took me a few days to complete the sculptures of my father, wife, and two children... They stand next to my throne. It's so nice. I still have my family with me in the dark."

…

"Fire...starry sky...primordial chaos..."

"The wine of night flows in the sky again

Starry sky's eyes opened again in deep sleep.

Golden flames jump in the air,

Try to smile at people.

O ignorant people;

Please don't panic,

Follow the colors of the stars and join this grand show. "

…

"Ah! I have committed an unforgivable blasphemy, and that terrible being is about to descend from the starry sky... I saw the land desolate, the city collapsed... Millions of dragonborn twisted into terrible monsters under the starlight... I must find a way to stop this from happening."

"Only gods can defeat gods... Although the original fire god has left for a thousand years, there is still the power left by him in this city... If I can do that... maybe..."

"What is this... Why am I carving words on these stone slabs?"

"... Who am I?"
