Tidbit #18

"Demons." I'm in an open field. Darkness engulfs everything, and a strange voice whispers to me, seemingly from everywhere. "Before Time, there were demons. Before demons, there was me. Before me, there was Him." As the voice speaks, the ground cracks open. Everything falls away, and I'm in complete darkness. I don't even have a body. I feel as though I'm just a floating consciousness. I hear whispers. Not the strange voice, but a familiar one. He speaks, but I don't understand what He says. I can feel His presence. I don't know where the knowledge comes from, but I somehow know that I am not truly in this moment. I am merely watching from my own moment, alongside countless others. I also feel that He knows all of us, inside and out, and He knows that we're watching, though, He pays us no mind. He continues speaking until, finally, I feel another presence come into being. This presence feels sick and wrong. The first creation, but the worst of them all. The familiar presence knows this, but does nothing. The horrid, new being speaks his own words. It's the strange voice from before! Suddenly the empty, black void is full of evil, demonic presences. I'm completely surrounded by evil and corruption. I move close to the familiar presence, finding comfort in His proximity. I feel anger from Him. He knew this would happen, but He is still angry. He shouts, and I can understand him this time. "Begone!" He demands. In an instant, all the terrible beings are gone. Not dead, just somewhere else. It's just the familiar being, and the first one. I hear fierce whispers, an argument between the two. "Sleep." Says the familiar being. The presence of the strange being fades, and I can tell he has entered an unnatural, death-like, unwavering slumber. The familiar voice sighs, and speaks his next words loudly, commanding and powerful. "Let there be light!" Bright light fills everything. The familiar presence is still just that, a presence, but the strange one has a body that I can see. Massive and humanoid. It has demonic wings that curl around it's torso. It has dry, leathery skin, and a face similar to an octopus. I feel a horrid feeling in my chest as I realize what I'm looking at. I close my eyes as I begin to panic; but then a foreign, but soothing feeling comes and puts me completely at ease. I recognize the familiar one's touch. I still realize what I'm seeing, but I'm not so scared anymore. Knowledge fills my mind: This is just a vision. Nothing can hurt me here. Everything will be fine. I will return shortly. I reopen my eyes and take in the creature in front of me. Cthulhu. Right as I think the name, I'm suddenly sucked out of the dream state, and back into my own body. I feel no shake, no panic, no startled wake-up, and no trace of memory loss. I calmly open my eyes to find myself in my room in the Coalition of Peace and Prosperity's base. The vision I was just shown... I don't know who gave it to me. The strange voice speaking to me in the beginning wasn't God. But He did kinda take control in the end there. Either way, I know why I was just shown what I was. I was being shown my true purpose. My one true enemy. Cthulhu.
