In Cabalistic Caverns

In Cabalistic Caverns

written by: Courtney Glover

 

In the necropolis of R’lyeh, a recondite god lies covertly concealed, entombed discrete
A primeval place, far from prying eyes, interred without ceremony, in a manner most discreet

In the middle of nowhere, the prison kept secret from all outside of the military’s top brass
Lest He be freed and civilization would once again fall, societies would dissolve and collapse

A monstrous entity in a vaulted vestibule, for a thousand years interred
In a sepulcher of chains set by theurgical incantation. His devilry, for now, deterred

Deep underground, in a majestic place of canyons, cliffs, and vast rivers sublime
Hidden in plain sight, a paradise carved out by the raging waters, a millennia of time

Where humans ventured, a shocking find met with awe and boundless wonder
Until one, by one, by one… their mortal minds were violently ripped asunder

In cabalistic caverns grande, only one was left to tell the tale of what she grievously saw
“A vision of horrific death, famine and disease…” and Cthulhu stood, in chains, above it all
