The Oracle of Orolunga
Saja N’baza’s omens:
“Two otherworldly lights
Cloaked in darkness
Astride nine tombs”
“Hubris yields desertion
Spirits yield blood
Greed yields gloom”
“Steps of thunder
Maw of daggers
A feathered plume”
“A riddle of squares
Interloping red
And a serpent’s doom”
“Blue summons blue
Cast out suffering
A bargain entombs”
“Many forked paths
An unlikely ally
Whence doubt blooms”
“A lost child beckons
All heed its call
The pale consumes”
“Another devourer
A stillborn heartbeat
It knows no womb”
“The rule of three
They follow Old Ways
Fit for their looms”
“Old bones creak
Eyes upon you
A twin to assume”
“Blackened fingers
Lies in ruins
Winter’s groom”
Saja’s final warning:
“Orb of darkest night
Two powers chained
Woven by three
Feast for the gods
Skulls of five
A sixth layer/lair?
Seven hands obey
Eight can reverse
Vengeance sought ninefold
Coiled schemes unwind
At the eleventh hour
Reckoning from beyond”
