The Keeper of the Black Shard: So, it begins anew. The eternal [bad word] for mastery of the crystalline codex. I have forseen this day, the day when the Hound of Z'xulth [bad word] seeking the Black Shard of power. Long ago, when this star did burn brightly with glorious and incandescent life, I was charged with the task of safeguarding this, the most dangerous shard of the Lexicon, keeping it from the grasp of those who would abuse its peerless potency. It is a mandate by which I shall abide, so long as the spark of life remains within my ancient form. So cold are the spaces between the stars... For blackened suns are the only legacy of worlds long dead.

Zurra: The key word of Transcendence! The key word of Transference! Enlightenment flows from the icosahedron! The Black Shard awaits my grasp, and with its power I shall liberate the rightful owners of the Lexicon... the [bad [bad word] of the cosmos! Hail the Z'xulth!
 X’atham-ry’aa! Tha’zai-tonn!
 Darker than a score of [bad word]  
 Wherein astral horrors dwell,
 Macrocosmic realms aflame... 
 Prey of fiends that have no name!
 X’atham-ry’aa! Tha’zai-tonn!
 Darker than a score of [bad word] .. 
 Where astral horrors sublime dwell,
 Macrocosmic realms aflame... 
 Bow to the gods that have no name!

The Keeper of the Black Shard: So cold, at the heart of a frozen star... Stay thy hand and thy tongue, slave of the Outer Darkness.... Surely you are not foolhardy enough to dare unshackle the dire titans of Z’xulth! 

Zurra:Hidden within the blazing core of this sun is that which I seek, old one.
 Do not seek to thwart me, lest the horrors of oblivion be a balm to your time-addled mind. Ages past I waged war side by side with the Z’xulth, smiting [bad word] of our foes across the intricate tapestry of the cosmos, hammering the vaunted Kl'aa and their lap dogs to the brink of annihilation! With the liberation of my brethren, the universe shall once more tremble at the footfalls of its [bad word]  The Lexicon shall be mine... Behold the cosmic codex! The tome of the astral abyss!

The Keeper of the Black Shard:By the eternal forefathers of the multiverse! Evil permeates your soul like gangrenous [bad word] within a baleful wound, stripling of Chaos! I witnessed your creation within the Spawning Vats of the Mera deep beneath the Pre-Cambrian oceans! glorious experiment you were, the first genetic progeny of mighty Zuranthus, the great one whose genetic template was utilized for your genesis. And yet base treachery was afoot, as your matrix was tainted by the cells of a captive fiend of Z’xulth. Never have the myriad galaxies witnessed such reckless and unquenchable hatred... never has the cosmos beheld such unparalleled ire and [bad word]  Such diabolical evil... sublime macrocosmic malevolence!

Zurra:I have [bad word] far more than the Ersatz Ones ever intended! I was shunned by my creators, an outcast and an abberation... cast into the lightless depths of the Well of Black Flame... but I endured, and dreams of vengeance sustained me! I shall be father to the new master race which shall sweep across the cosmos and bring the glorious embrace of the Outer Darkness unto all the denizens of creation! The Z’xulth [bad word] all, and the glory of their reign shall shine like an ireful beacon across the limitless expanses of the multiverse! All shall bow before us! Fear is the power... Terror is the key! 
 X’atham-ry’aa... Tha’zai-tonn!
 I am replete with sovereign mastery! The portal to the Outer Darkness shall be open! They-Who-Lurk-And-Breed-In-Limbo shall be free!
 I have won... bow, yield, kneel!
 Darken the sun... Narra, Gorra, Kaasha!
 I arise... bow, yield, kneel!
 Parhelion dies... Narra, Gorra, Kaasha!
 I can taste the sweet ichors of omnipotency upon my lips... Let it begin! The Black Shard shall be mine!
 X’atham-ry’aa j’aiigh! Tha’zai
