The Altar was empty, covered in blood and bones. Fatum sat on one of the steps, his face scorched with horror, he had just EATEN a women, yet he did not feel guilty. The man in the robe was on the other side of the room near a wooden shelf, he was reaching inside it trying to grasp something.
"Here it is..." Said the man.
He stepped towards Fatum, Fatum tried to back away but his muscles froze were he was, too scared to move an inch. The robed man was holding a small vial with some purple mixture inside. He stood directly infront of Fatum.
"Stick out your tongue," The robed man howled.
Fatum stuck his tongue out as far as he could, knowing slightly what was going to happen. The robed man opened the vial and poored the entire mixture over Fatums blood drenched taste buds. It burned his tongue, and Fatum tried to pull it back in, but like a statue it stayed, frozen. Finally the burning stopped, but the color of his tongue had turned a dark blue/purple.
"What.... is this?" Asked Fatum.
"I will show you... stay," Said the robed man.
The man went over to the wooden shelf again, and grabbed a group of papers out with a picture of a burning sun on the cover. He walked over to Fatum, and slammed the papers onto his lap.
"Read, and learn your fate," Said the robed man.
Fatum read the first Chapter..
Chapter 1: The Book of Living
Hello, if you are reading this, you have just stepped into another life, a better life. I am Heptus Vilcamere, or
The Reliever, as you will call me. We lived on planet Heptainus, in the Rendox system, were i ruled the civilization. We had been in a planet wide battle agenst a resistance for nearly 17 years. I had been researching the human senses and brain, and was close to a break through. I had almost developed a weapon that would make the resistance turn on each other, make them attack each other, EAT each other....
I failed. It was the prototype of my master weapon that started it all, i was going to test it on a large resistance base near, Clordostein, our capital. The weapon emitted a purple vapor that was to be consumed into the lungs, which traveled into the brain and promoted ideas of "Cannibalism." Sadly, the weapon broke down as i began to fire it up, and i instead consumed the purple gas, then i passed out. When i awoke i was in a bed in the Clordostein central hospital, being treated for "Mass Illusions." I did not know if the gas had worked or not, but i would soon find out. A nurse entered the room, and went down to put some food for me, she looked delicious. She lefted the room, and i quickly lunged for the food. I attempted to eat it but... I just vomited everytime it touched my lips. The nurse entered the room again, this time carrying water. I hid my vomit and invited her over by my bed. As she neared me, i swiftly grabbed her and pulled her towards me. I took one of her fingers and bit it, she tried to scream but i covered her mouth. I continued to bite flesh off her body, until her entire back was gone. Blood drenched the floors, the sheets on my bed, and my mouth. A doctor was coming down the hall, and i had one choice, i had to flea. I took refuge in a near by cave under Clordostein, which was lit with rows and rows of candles. I slept quietly on a large rock one night, and a vision came into my brain. It was a vision of a robed man with a blood drenched face, giving me instructions, telling me to do... things. That man in my vision is our creator, he was god. He told me to start a cult, worshiping him. He told me that we would not each anything.... but human flesh. He told me to build a large altar in the cave where humans would be devoured, and a set of stars leading up to it. He then showed me a vision of a symbol, a Burning sun with a circle around it, he told me it was him. I made this symbol on and behind the altar. He told me to get more members, so i obeyed. I chose the best 32 men i could fine, and infected them all with the purple vapor. I then told them about the robed man, they listened and followed. Then, was the forming of the cult. We stole a 19 year old girl from Clordostein, and strapped her to the altar. We tore her eyes from her head, and feasted on her. All 32 men who feasted on the girl where sworn into the Cult.... the Heptus Cult of Cannibals which I called it by Gods request. We slowly, together recruited more, and those unwilling to join, we ate. Soon, have we had 78 members, but the population of Clordostein had reduced to half. Then, it happened. The resistance had developed a gigantic bomb, capable of blowing up the entire planet. The cult and its 78 members developed a giant sleeper ship called the "Burning Heart." We took off from the planet and went off in a random direction, towards the brightest star. The ship had been designed to break apart into 78 seperate parts, which would be scattered across the system they were heading to. It did so, and we were all scattered across this new system we had encountered. I myself landed on a odd planet, which was inhabited by what looked like talking Hapriguy *(monkeys in english)*. I could not eat their meat.... I could not do anything. You reading the book have just been entered into the cult, welcome... enjoy the rest.
