DANGEROUS UNDERCURRENTS Prologue: In the beginning... They had always existed. Before sound, before light, before the dawn of time. Older than the myriad of twinkling stars that once watched impassively as they escaped into the exploding void, screaming a newborn cry. As life sparked throughout the vast new universe, the Great Old Ones sought a resting place. Discarding their bodies, the Elder Things continued to search until a distant jewel attracted their attention. Like a moth to a flame, the blue world called to them with its siren song. There, they sank into the heart of the evolving earth and waited... Centuries passed and the first primitive races worshipped them as gods. Their influence sank into the race memory of these beings; traces that pushed homo sapiens forward in an evolutionary burst of energy. For the ancient incomprehensible forces from beyond time continued to manipulate those susceptible to their influence. Waiting until the moment when they could return to their true forms. Their return would not be simple, they would need assistance, and they could only emerge when the stars willed it so. But there was one among the pantheon of Old Ones who did not wish to wait any longer. There was another way to reach the physical world, and its followers would fulfill this destiny... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
