The Dark Day

"Head my words, all ye saurak, in the beginning I tried to help the first living beings on this earth to see the truth about the other Gods, but my brothers and sisters pushed me away.  So later I told King Cordeus the truth, so he did the right thing and turned away from the Gods, but my kin then cursed the world for taking the right path, and banished me even farther away.  So I then spoke to a void, and it produced demons, my crusaders, but my younger brothers and sisters won over the demons and restricted the void.  And they will come soon to take me away to the Nether Place, and their I will be held for a thousand years.  But, at the end of the thousand years, I will fully and completely return to this earth, to reclaim what was meant to be mine.  Remember, all my hosts, only the strongest and most determined survive, and also be wary of the children of my kin, guile them with pleasant words for a time then strike when they are weak.  Now be ever watchful, for I will come on the day of twelve, and then we shall see who is truly master of this world."
