Necronomicon

"To think that man appeared on an empty world gained mastery over it unchallenged is as foolish as thinking the world will cease to exist after man's passing. Before the first human set foot on our world, it was inhabited by beings superior to men in terms of wisdom, strength and every other virtue.

The beings I have in mind still exist in our present time, though they do not exist in a sphere available to human understanding. They occupy no dimension known to us - where they live can best be described as a space between worlds.

At times one can sense their presence through a sudden, unknown scent or a strange feeling of anxiety with no apparent cause. A wind which blows in several directions at once is another example of theu subtle manifestation in our realm. There exist various imaginings of what these creatures migh look like, yet there have nothing to do with reality, for man is incapable of conceiving something which he has not seen, even in his wildest nightmares.

The greatest horror these beings bring comes precisely from their indefiniteness lack of concrete form. Yet it would be a mistake to think that a formless creature is necessarily harmless. The power they possess is sufficient to lay waste to a forest, level a city or whip an entire sea into froth and waves. Today man is master of the world, but only for a short while. They await patiently and will soon arise and regain their one-time glory. This is as certain as dawn follows dusk, and dusk follows again soon after, to drown everything one more in darkness."
