The Arctic Chasm

from Visitations From Enceladus by Cryptic Shift

about

There is a place: A strange, strange realm that few have entered. Long abandoned by the ancients, yet there it lies still... Far beneath the forbidden realms, even further than the crawling abysms of Asa'llŭahi, lies the infernal time-wound of Rasskhazu. Guided by the towering obelisk reflections, Upshukkinakku would soon be reached and with it the anachron relics will be within grasp.

lyrics

-Beneath the crawling abysms-
Relinquished obelisk of Rasskhazu beacons my voyage through the time wound, as a bloated sun splinters my hourglass.
Built from the black ore of Enceladus: The temple of Ostyx impales the bubbling sky, and waters of the Apzŭ crest upon ancient sands.

Upshukkinakku deserted for aeons; council chamber of the ancient ones smothered in wither, as crepuscular ash collects upon callipygian reliefs.

Subterranean pathways traversed.
Molten sap transfused to stone vessels of Orācc.

-Return to the frosted ablation-
Stygian auras trail to my Arctic ziggurat; now entrenched by mimesis cretin. Those pestilent imps; dispatched from the very estuaries of uncreation.
Incantations configured with drastic haste, quantum remnants dissolve in corporeal synthesis as photonic beams are cast upon iced stone.

Bounty of Upshuk levitates in cryoseism blasts, trailing processions from the ancient antechamber as petrochemical smogs close in around my chasm.

Re-summoned gateway ripped through time; through quantum zones.
Adversarial atronachs mystified.

Pillars of golden ivory hang in the lunar tomb's basaltic vomit.
