it was at blackskull crest, the peak of the elder's bulwark, where the sun's light can't reach.
where the firmament meets the mortal plane.
we had collapsed in the snow, bloody, beaten, lying amongst the limp carcasses of a thousand succubi.
the only light for miles cast from the lanterns around our waists, undeterred by the preceding bloodshed.
as i felt the blistering cold of the ebony snowbank making its way through every hole in my mail, burning into my skin, i summoned the strength to raise my self again.
as i pondered over talog's body beside me, seeing the light fade from his eyes and escape into the ink day, i saw a final figure emerge from the darkness into my lamplight.
the towering beast was terrible with legs and horns of a goat and the wings of a strix, its eyes luminescing through the pitchy miasma that surrounded us.
without effort the great beast snatched talog from the snow and flung him over the edge, into the abysm below.
and as the beast's eyes peered downwards and locked with mine, i felt my soul fill with terror, for i knew that staring into me was the lady of the black mountain herself,
lilitu.
