The Faceless

  • One of many…

    No identity.

    Laboring,

    In darkness,

    Forever.

    Few find them,

    None come back.

    Hunger,

    Suppressed.

    Emotions,

    Nonexistent.

    They toil in the shadows,

    But one day,

    They shall rise,

    And mark the world with cities

    Of bone.

    The Faceless have infinite patience,

    They never rush. They never complain.

    From above, their leader commands them all.

    Waiting and watching, he infiltrates society,

    Orchestrates their disasters and catastrophes,

    And when they are their weakest, he will

    Strike.

    The shadows lengthen.

    They begin to emerge.

    People driven insane.

    People devoured alive.

    Slowly, they come out of hiding,

    But no one will see the signs.

    Not until it has come to pass.

    When the sun sets on Nirn,

    Before the moon illuminates the world again,

    They will attack.

    And none shall survive.

    @Wing I'm not sure whether to apologize or be proud.

    This was my daily happy thought: "Fjorrod and Ma'osri and the others (I'm not spoiling who else is coming along for the ride! Two more, two more people. That's all I'll say) don't have enough hardships. Why don't they encounter a race of killer evil peopl...  more
