"Just as I was about to go mad with anxiety," Isis continued, "the mouth of the goat's head on the back of the natural stone began to flow out of its mouth with bright red blood. The blood sparkled like a ruby, and I could smell the sweet fragrance of it even through the air, and I almost didn't think about it, I put my hands together to catch it, and the moment the blood from the sheep's mouth dripped into the skin of my palm, a strange warm current surged all over my body. ”

"I drank the blood one after another, and the moment the blood poured into my belly, I felt the strength of my whole body regained, as if I had risen from the dead. I've never been so energetic, and I'm almost singing with excitement. ”

"But as my body recovered and my spirits lifted, an inconspicuous voice in my mind kept whispering something I didn't want to face, that it was all too strange, too sudden, and I shouldn't have drunk the blood that was dripping from the goat's mouth. ”

Thinking of this, I shook involuntarily, as if a thunderbolt had struck me overhead, and I couldn't help but think of the warning given to me by the mysterious man who appeared at my bedside the night before, and I suddenly felt shocked and chilled. ”

However, the negative feeling only appeared for two or three seconds, and it was dispelled. For the smell of blood in the sheep's mouth was so delicious, that I had never tasted it before, and I had the impression that the taste of blood was both fishy and pungent, and had nothing to do with sweetness, but that evening, the warm, sweet, mellow, honey-like blood, was more intoxicating than the best wine I had ever drunk. ”

"How could the unpleasant warnings and cold shivers resist the temptation of the blood? I drank more and more hungry and thirsty, and the more I drank, the more dissatisfied I felt, so I simply put my mouth to the mouth of the goat's head, and licked the blood straight from the crack of the stone. ”

"The mouth-to-mouth feeling is abhorrent, but it's also addictive. By the end, I could even feel the warmth of the sheep's mouth in my mouth, and it was pumping this strange and sweet blood from its body to me, and at the same time I felt like I was kissing the sheep, and the cold and rancid evil spirit was entering my soul through it. ”

"After a while, a voice came clearly in my ears, and it seemed to cry out in pain, 'Enough'. I just got up from the back of the stone in a trembling way. Then I noticed that it was already dark, but I was not affected by the darkness at all, and I could see clearly even the mosquitoes and flies in the grass. ”

"At that time, the head of the goat, which had been vigorous, had become like a layer of dry skin wrapped around the bones, and the eyes of the goat, which had stared at me and frightened me, seemed to be blind, and became two black and hollow holes. ”

"My sense of hearing has also become more sensitive. I felt as if the breath of the night sky was speaking to me in a voice that I could not resist, words that only I could understand, and the wind whispered in my ear, 'Go, my daughter, go and fulfill your wishes.'" As if enchanted, I replied to the empty air around me, 'I'll do it, I'll get revenge, I'll be ashamed.'" ”

"I turned and stood on the top of the mountain, and in spite of the endless darkness and thick black clouds in front of me, I could see effortlessly from there the little village in which I had been born. Everything seemed to be happening right in front of my eyes, so clearly visible, so close at hand. I saw the couple who had been left to feed me in the woods from my birth, pacing to and fro in the house anxiously, scolding and accusing each other, not worrying about me, but fearing that they would have no income, that they would be ridiculed and murdered by their neighbors, and that they had surrounded my dwelling, and that they had been living near my house, and that they had come only recently because they had been attracted to my beauty, and I heard them talking to each other that if they found me, they would ravage me like the lowest of whores of all, so that it would not be in vain the money and time they had spent on me。 "Sweet potato

"Even if I had the slightest fear or hesitation before, it all came to naught at that moment. This is the environment in which I live, and this is what I call my parents and neighbors. The place where I live is a living hell, and no one is indignant at what happened to me, no one says a word of justice for me, and no one feels any pity for me. In short, no one treats me as a human being, so in that case, I will never treat them as a human being. ”

"Those people, if you can call them men, look to me like a sheep to the slaughter, and their minds are filthy and dirtier than wild beasts. Even the vultures that eat carrion are more human than these people, and live more like individuals. ”

"The more I looked at their faces and listened to their thoughts in the darkness of the night, the more angry I felt and my heart sickened. So I stretched out my hand into the night, tearing, slashing, and exterminating at the images before me like a she-wolf tearing her prey apart. ”

"It was as if someone had put those words of vengeance and curse into my mouth, so I blurted out those terrible words that I did not understand, and the language was evil, powerful, aggressive, and cold, like the curse of the day by those who cannot see the sun, and like the abuse of the autumn rain by those who cannot drink the clear spring. My tongue and my brain seemed to split apart in an instant and belonged to two completely different people, and I felt creepy and terrified as I listened to the words that I did not understand, but my tongue did not listen to my brain's commands, and they could not stop. ”

"The howling of the wolf, the roar of the bear, the neighing of the serpent, the cry of the horse, the wailing of the owl all came out of my mouth, as if countless souls from hell had cursed the whole land through my mouth, and gradually I was no longer afraid. For I have drawn from the terrible words of my mouth a terrible power that is as terrifying as death, but irresistible and irresistible. ”

"When I uttered the last note, the sky seemed to howl in pain, and I looked up and saw with satisfaction the darkness of the night sky, just above my head, as if an invisible ghost claw had torn through the innocent firmament, and a blood-red crack appeared, which grew longer and wider, until the end of the day. ”

"The fire was like a hot rain of blood, mixed with burning hailstones, and rolled down from this crack. The world around me was suddenly plunged into apocalyptic destruction, and I heard the voices of countless people crying out in fear at my feet, desperately crying and praying, but there was nowhere to run, they wanted to die, but they couldn't, and the most terrible calamity ever befell these people. ”

"In the midst of this living hell, I laughed, I had never been so happy in my life. ”

"That's when I heard a voice next to me say to me, 'You're doing a good job, you're worthy of being my chosen human.' ”

I shuddered and slowly turned my head away. ”
