Leviticus 16:8-10 (ESV): 8 And Aaron shall cast lots over the two goats, one lot for the LORD and the other lot for Azazel. 9 And Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot fell for the LORD and use it as a sin offering, ten but the goat on which the lot fell for Azazel shall be presented alive before the LORD to make atonement over it, that it may be sent away into the wilderness to Azazel.

The seeds of the world tree scatter across the vast Omniveres that are an infinite ocean. The tides are laws that constantly change. As soon as one learns the mystic rhythms of this song of pure dual dark and The Sublime.)

The Small American Midwestern with Southern elements, you could hear the Chrips of the birds was delightful. You had vast pine forests filled with a unique biodiversity of deer, elk, and the other natural beings of creation. The small town, which is your average small town, only had a few apartments, but mainly, It had Morden houses and log cabins. There was the massive Black Creek Baptist Church of the Divine Quadrinity of the conscious and mindful. There was a pub that was forty-five minutes away. It looked like a combination of pubs in Amsterdam but had a spin of Mississippi and Michigan if it was terrible where the strange and other groups gather. If the bar had a song that describes it, it would be " A Horse with No Name by America. The energy was like a peaceful area where groups, even if they hate each other, gather. From the emo to the bikers, all shapes, sizes, and different colors. The inside of the bar looks like an old-school salon from the Western cowboy era with steampunk and cyberpunk styles. There was a wall of metal bands like Soilwork, Slayer, and other heavy metal bands. There were so many guitars hanging up on the wall. Wild game like boar, elk, ram, and goat heads hung on the walls. Some of them had Viking swords that had the symbol of the world tree and rune of life. The town was above a mass grave covering the sins of the lands. The bones held the secrets of the dark past. There are the insane asylums of R'lyeh with dread and ghosts haunting them. There is The city hall of Ulthar. A theocracy rules the town with an iron fist, the council of the elderly elders, And the small clinic named black Butler Hospital. Another landmark was the mega malls. They were colossal towers of pure honey Trap. Even a Superman couldn't save a dollar there. Groups of gangs like the Sons of Suijin and The East Iron Tiger claws. They would always fight for territories. There was also a considerable biker culture within this town.There was much crime here underneath a false mask like a wolf disguised as a white rabbit.

Hello, my name is Bill Silver. I was just your average black Christian. I am a sinner on a Saturday but looking for my savior on a Sunday. We all sin, but sometimes those sins come back to haunt us. My faith was destroyed because of all the things I saw. Things that would make you go mad from fright. The fear is like a flame burning and consuming you, stealing your will even to live and essence. My god was false, but I discovered that things are beyond what a god can comprehend. Things that would make Jesus Christ weep and lose his faith in god.

I had brown as-oak skin, brown eyes, and a high-top fade with dreadlocks. I wore black and gray clothes. I would wear a Cuban chain that was silver. Some black pants have comedically inaccurate skeleton legs. My gray shirt had ravens, owls, and skulls. It looks like the stereotypical Hawaiian shirt, but if I was emo. My belt was a dark oak brown. I had one of those introductory hot topic anime chain walks that said Cyberpunk Detroit is coming soon in Metal Band Cover Gothic font. My skin was clean and clear of pores. My dreadloocks were black and red. My eyes were dark brown. Some hair had religious jewelry of all faith tied to god. I had a star of Solomon gages that all had the seal of Zailton, the divine god of light and order, the mount of The Highest Yahweh. Man, At Time, I thought look so epic and cool. I probably look like a fucking Weeb! The cologne I would wear was a combination of strong cologne I would wear was a combination solid, and soft, as if the ocean waves were made from lavender.

The rings on my finger were my astrology chart, but my main signs are Aquarius moon, Scorpio, rising, and Gemini, and yeah, for you Chinese zodiac lovers, I had my Symbol, an eastern grey and black dragon. I had a lower grill that was silver with runes from Emerald tablets. I'm an unorthodox member of Christianity. I probably look like I should be sending Maximillion Pegasus into the shadow realm rather than being a church boy. If it had a theme, it would be Soilwork -let this river flow. It was my ringtone. I lived in the mega apartment called Miskatonic Towers. The elders and youth lived in these apartments. They were very empathetic to each other. It was a decent-looking New York-looking apartment building with the angels of the Quadrinity Godhead.

It all started when my friends came into town. We had our yearly camping trip. We would travel all over the country, and we have seen many sites. My first friend, Sarah Green, was a timid person. She was a typical hipster, liberal, and feminist. She was an artist that would sell her various exquisite pieces all around the world. She was like a modern-day Bob Ross mixed with a little Andy Warhol. Her specialties involved speed painting, making sculptures, abstract art, and other art forms. Sarah was beautiful. She had red ember hair that would flow in the wind like fire. A face filled with freckles. She had eyes that were as green as the meadows during spring. She would wear this alluring perfume, the smell of lavender and roses.

Sarah was going to Wayne State for a bachelor's degree in occultism and mythology. She would always make paintings of wolves eating goats and crows. Me and Sarah would talk on the phone for hours on end. One of my favorite plays and books was The King in Yellow and The Scibe of Hastur. If there were a song to describe her nature, it would be Huit Octobre 1971 by Cortex. It's one of the songs we listened to when it was just me and her. We would star in the stars, eat smores, and watch movies on a projected. Looking into her eyes was so breathtaking.

When I would stare into her eyes, I felt so safe, like the world was pure. His gaze was the physical embodiment and manifestation that made Aphrodite and the other deities of beauty and love look like hags in comparison. I had various thoughts of lust, her crimson lipstick that was otherworldly. Whenever I thought she had or gave her a simple hug, it felt like a tornado of sparks, positive energy, and feelings that I trapped within myself because I was afraid....of the unknown. I fear fate and chance. With every day, hour, and year passing, my feelings were a fire that was consuming me as a sinner dammed for hell, but that was an inversion of that. Instead of feelings of regret for our sinful nature, it was more like I met my soul mate; it felt like in the past life with the samsara of the world Kabbalah tree that in our infinite lifetime, we were lovers of every kind. It felt like she could give energy to every kundalini was getting energy. Like the mere mention of her name would fuel my heart chakra, she was a Capricorn sun, Virgo moon, and Virgo rising. She dislikes false information, tomatoes, anything pumpkin-related, incels, and Reddit mods.

Then there was my other friend, Oscar Novi Noir. Oscar Noir was a light-skinned black man. He had green and gray dyed dreadlocks; also, he wore red eye contact, but he always had a pair of emergency glasses, just in case. But he had light hazel eyes. He had gages and various Japanese-style tattoos. His fashion sense was dark but unique. Oscar was a hippie on the inside. He was kinda of straight edge cause he never would ever sip a beer or smoke. He was a nerd who always had odd conspiracy theories about black creek. I remembered all the demons, aliens, and witch conspiracies he would discuss. He was a paranormal investigator. Also a private investigator. He was still a rookie, but he had a heart of gold. He frequently can be nervous, and he uses comedy as a shield.to protect his emotions. If Head had a theme song, it would be black hole sun by Soundgarden. It was the physical embodies a lot of aspects of his nature. He was very supportive, he was a spark of inspiration, and a lot of people would underestimate him because sometimes he was like a class clown, always there to try to pick you up. I'm feeling down. He wore a black detective trench coat. He is a Year of the snake, Aquarius sun, Libra moon, and Virgo rising. He was always at I'm Going to Eat the black Forrest Ramen and wrote his paranormal blog on different strange, supernatural, bizarre, and unnatural events, as well as Scps. His favorite Scp was SCP-3004 and SCP-001, The Scarlet King.

Then, there was Emma Athena White. Emma was a very religious person, more than myself. Her father was the pastor of Blackcreek's Baptist church. She was also a stoner who was the opposite of uptight ultimately. Emma had daisy blonde hair, and her hair had an aura that was so heavenly and beautiful. That was curly. She had alluring eyes that were an icy ocean pale blue. Emma dressed up like a typical mall chick. But her personality was great. It shined like a sun. She was a Beauty YouTuber and video game streamer for Twitch. She was also going to school for journalism. She was the best gamer in the group, often beating me and Oscar. She won the Oscar the most, as Dante.

I was her only rival. Me and I went to the same church as the kids. We met when we were seven years old at Sunday school. His father was like a spiritual sensei that would enlighten me about god. He always would try to analyze and answer my questions with logic and reason, giving me complex questions back. He also told me about the dark sides of religion and how the solid weaponized, corrupted and inverted the will of god and religious doctrine. My faith was also a lifestyle, but it would be blinded by it to hate and judge God's creations. Emma had a California Mall Valley girl accent, but it was a little bit unique because it had Midwestern tones within it. She was born in the year of the snake; she was a Taurus moon, Virgo sun, and Leo rising.

Last but not least, my friend Dante Hades Levi was your typical all-American college athlete. Still, he looked like a K-pop and hip-hop artist like Lil Peep. he always wore a green sports jumpsuit. He had jade green highlights with a butterfly tattoo on his lower cheek and a sword between the wings. Dante is going to film school on the side. He was a hard-working type of guy and hard on himself. He was a nationally known track star as well. Dante had Medium-sized hair that was black as coal. This year, Dante wanted to surprise us. His surprise was that his girlfriend was going on our camping trip. His girlfriend's name was Marry black. Marry black had blue dyed hair and hazel eyes. Marry black had pale skin that was white as snow. Marry was a shy and very calm, mellow person. She was a huge metalhead and hip-hop head, more than even me. Her nickname was Anthony Fantano because she loved a lot of incredible music but wouldn't stop talking about how she hated Nav and loved Death Grips. She had red highlights. Marry was a Scorpio rising, cancer sun, Aquarius moon, and Aquarius moon.

She wore a misfit tee shirt and other cool punk vibes. The only person who knew about her was me, for I was in on the surprise. Dante & Mary would just Video Chat me a lot. But did have another surprise that I didn't know.me, Mary, and Dante would watch horror movies like Mothman vs the Michigan Dog Man. A theme that captures their vibe is Chamber of Reflection by Mac DeMarco.Man, I miss the times when Dante and Oscar would catch bugs like fireflies and other critters. Once, I found a white rat snake that scared both of them. With it, they ran like two screaming little divas. It was knee-slapping funny and made you want to spit off ya water. He and Mary would wear matching love bunny shirts because they both were born in the year of the rabbit. I, Dante, and Emma would always play the latest online first-person shooters and dark fantasy hardcore games. For some types, we would get the home crew to play tabletop RPG games. Dante liked old-school music and movies. He had a vast collection of VHS and other things.

Before our trip, we all had to meet in town at the local bar called black water. Black Water was a Small, discreet pub where bikers, goths, and metal bands just hung out. But it had the best liquor and music in this boring old town. I drive my van until I reach black water. I walk into the pub, and then I see all my friends chatting loudly in a booth. I then walked over there, but before I could join them. I bump into a large old biker. The biker had a leather black jacket resembling Ghost Rider, but it had patches and a button blackjack. It had long spikes on it that were black. The biker had large skull rings, a black hand skeleton tattoo on both hands, and a death on both his knuckles. He had various satanic tattoos and had a bald head with the Ouroboros snake on his bald head. He had a long gray and black bread; his bread looked like a black bread type modern style. Also, he had snake bites and a septum piercing. He had a creepy face; his pure, pitch-black eyes stared into my soul. I felt his rage like a massive tsunami hitting me. He had the anger of a bull and its intimidation. He slowly reached for his knife. He had a silver and gold serpentine-like blade. His friends suddenly grabbed him, and all the bikers left the pub. All you heard was their engines screaming, and they all started up simultaneously. But before he left, I saw he had a large Baphomet tattoo On the biker who tried to attack me. As the bikers left, I heard a creepy song.

The song felt like a musical symbol of madness and darkness. It felt like it was causing the distribution of vile energy.

Then the next thing I hear is Sliver, get over here. I recognized the voice instantly. It was Oscar. I take a seat in the booth surrounded by my friends. Oscar said so what was all that hostile energy about with those bikers? I Said in a Sarcastic tone. I wanted to have a classic bar brawl. Emma breaks out in laughter. Then Oscar said well anyway, are we going to see that local creepy fortune teller. Dante smiled and then said You know it's our tradition to get our Fortune told by the old Baba Yaga in the Witch forest. Dante then said the Baba Yaga prediction has never been wrong. She is the best fortune teller in the state. She is located deep hidden in the witch woods. Woods was known as the twin of the black woods.

Emma then said she has human bones, and Flesh uses them for various things, such as material for her gate or other darker things. Sarah said I heard she kidnaps children to then devour or use for her spells and rituals or even use them for blood magic and sacrifice. Mary was texting her phone when Dante grabbed it and said so babe, are you ready to meet the spooky witch? Marry smiles, a face filled with love. Then she said I have you as my knight in shiny armor. Also, you have backup knights that will protect us, like Oscar and Bill. Oscar said I'm not going protect no one but myself. Then, laughingly, he said no, I'm just messing with you all.

When everyone finally finished our delicious meals. We all began to get up and leave to see the fortune teller. We get in my van and follow the path until we all stop at the Witch Woods. I parked, then walked on the forest path until we hit the fork. We took a right on the path. I could hear the screams of crows and ravens. As we walked, I could not help but feel like we were being watched by something or someone. The hairs on the back of my neck were raised high. I only just thought in this moment the sensation of fear and dread. I could feel chills going up and down my spine. We walked deeper into the forest. The trees were just filled with murders of crows. I watched as they screamed and fought each other. The other ones were just in the nest, staring at me. Then I saw a red raven with a third eye fly. Nobody else saw the sizeable red raven. The raven had an aura of green that looked like the shade of polished jade.

We finally walk to see the house of the Baba Yaga. It had a gate of bones and skulls, and multiple crows and ravens were everywhere. They had a nest on her roof. There was a large old walnut tree growing next to rosemary and various other plants that witches used for spells. We walk toward the door where there is a crow 13-century door knocker. I use the door knocker twice. We waited five minutes, but it felt like hours had passed, Oscar said. Will I think she is not home? Let's go to my house and then get ready for camping in the morning. Dante said you know we have to wait. She's an old lady. She is taking her sweet time. Oscar said I don't care, bro. Even if she was the mighty queen of England, she needed to hurry up. It's not like we have much time left, and I hope we don't come across some modern-day sundown town.

As we stood there, we heard the creaking of an old door opening. Soon after, a small, frail older adult appeared before us. She was a sight, with long gray hair almost covering her small crow-like eyes. Her teeth were barely there, and the few that remained were very yellow and damaged. She leaned on a large staff, which had a human skull and two crow skulls attached to it, along with crow feathers. It was evident that the staff served as a cane for her. Her necklace was made of crow bones, with a baby's skull attached. She wore a long black robe with raven feathers, and on her head, she had a large black hat that resembled a wizard's hat. Her skin was covered in multiple old magic seals and tattoos, and it was so pale that it almost seemed translucent. Her skin was wrinkly and dry, and her nails were black and looked more like the talons of a giant eagle. The Baba Yaga wore silver and gold skull rings and other jewelry that added to her eerie appearance.

As we entered the Baba Yaga's home, we were greeted by a quiet but unmistakably malicious tone in her voice. The house was in shambles as if a tornado had swept through it, leaving books, papers, runes, and various potions scattered everywhere. A large cauldron sat in the corner, filled with multiple mysterious ingredients. A table with seven chairs stood in the center of the room. The Baba Yaga then invited us to sit so she could read our fortunes through tarot cards. We all settled into our chairs, which were made of old, black bones.

As we waited, we heard the soft purring of a cat. Suddenly, a black cat with piercing green eyes appeared, following the Baba Yaga as if it were her loyal companion. The cat had a white crescent moon on its forehead, which seemed to glow in the room's dim light. The cat looked like a purple, dark nebula; its fur pattern of stars with golden greenish eyes that were very mystique was unknown.

The Baba Yaga then proceeded to reveal our fortunes. Looking at Oscar, she said, "Oscar Novi Noir is your full name. You are only 23 years old, and you are a private eye." Her words sent a chill down my spine, and I couldn't help but wonder what other secrets she might reveal.

As Oscar listened to her words, his eyes widened in surprise. He turned to his friend Dante and asked how he knew about their question. Baba Yaga, the enigmatic figure in front of them, looked at Oscar and replied that she had seen it in a dream. She explained that travelers often came to her to read their fortune through the cards, and she had been blessed with the gift of seeing past and future events since she was a child. Dante chuckled at her words, but Baba Yaga's serious tone made him curious.

Baba Yaga then suggested that they begin to read their fortunes. She shuffled the tarot cards multiple times and cut the deck twice before laying the cards on the table. Baba Yaga revealed that their question was about their upcoming camping trip, and Dante's smile quickly turned into a confused gaze. He asked her if she could read their minds, but Baba Yaga laughed and replied that her dreams always told her the future. She claimed to have the eyes of fate and to be one of the children of Loki, the father of Odin.

The Baba Yaga then pulled three cards from her demonic tarot deck.

Virgilivs and the evil spirit. The card had a goat-like demon with black fur and a Young man with long blonde hair who wore Greek-like robes summoning the black monster. Then the Baba Yaga said You will all summon the spirits of the black woods. One of you will bring the tremendous black darkness to this land. The black goat is watching you all and is hungry for new souls. You will all be responsible for countless bloodshed. The next card she pulled was the devil. I was looking around for a bit at her house horrors. They had carpets made from the flesh of crows and infants in a display that would make some of the most muscular men flee. I was thinking and praying on God's words to give me some rise of hope, but I could not due to the baba yaga who had a gaze that would make A bear flee in terror.

The Baba Yaga, with her wrinkled and gnarled fingers, tapped twice on the card. The room fell silent as she spoke with her frail voice, "One of you is the devil but in sheep's skin. You are a wolf hiding amongst sheep, waiting for the right time to slaughter the weak lamps and sheep." Her words sent shivers down everyone's spine. The Baba Yaga started to laugh with her evil, frail voice, cackling with delight at the fear she had instilled. As the people in the room looked at each other with suspicion, the Baba Yaga pulled the final card, the atmosphere tense with anticipation.

The baba with her nasty black-grayish talons with symbols of death and sacrifice runes to the next card. She had a smile that was so otherworldly and grotesquely strange, even a face that a mother couldn't love. She had worms and parasites in her mouth like a diverse ecosystem of complex organisms. Her mouth looks like she has only eaten rotten flesh in her life. She had a halo of flies and small goat-like horns that were barely visible but caught my eye.

Death was the next card. The Baba Yaga said only three of you will survive and will live to tell the story, but the others shall perish into ash. The room was utterly silent as the candles in the room all quickly went out. The Baba Yaga then said If you go in those black woods, you will die. Your fate will be sealed when you go to those black woods. Regardless of my warning, I know you shall go. I've seen it in my dreams. My dreams are always accurate. I see it clear as day those woods are cursed. She started laughing evilly. It was like she had to voice one deep, and the other was very weak, old, and frail but creepy.

As the tension in the room continued to mount, I broke the silence by asking Baba Yaga how much this session would cost us. Her response was unnerving - she flashed a creepy smile that revealed her rotten old yellow teeth and told us that this session was free of charge because we all had higher debts. Oscar was taken aback by her comment and demanded an explanation, but the Baba Yaga just stared at me with that same creepy grin. I felt like a hawk was watching me, and I couldn't shake the feeling that something ominous was about to happen. The table was made from human bones; it had a tablecloth made from cowhide and the skins of infants of various colors. The hues were so sickly and disgusting. The baba yaga had book sleeves filled with jars with wolfbane, lilac, and other flowers that would be used. There were jars of different stages of life in an infant, but it was in a gross display of anti-fertility. Various jars are meant to preserve organic life filled with xeno goat-like humanoid beings so grotesque that my mortal words cannot even weave a description. Still, if they were a hideous manifested emotion, it would be beyond the shackles of the shell. There would be so many vast emotions of dread that it was an ocean with a never-ending abyss.

As I was standing there in pure agony and fright, the Baba Yaga suddenly grabbed my arm with her sharp, talon-like nails, causing me to wince in pain. I tried to pull away; the baba yaga had a cosmic aura of crimson and ghastly green that was a sight to behold. But her grip was unyielding. She then began to mutter some magical incantation while holding onto my hand, which started to glow an eerie green color. The pain was excruciating as if I had plunged my hand into a pot of boiling water for hours. I fell to the ground, unable to bear it any longer. She looks down at me like a spider catching a fly. Her eyes of terror stab my soul like a million blades. She had a nasty smile and a vile mix of emotions. My face was disturbed and filled with disgust due to the musty she had aurora of skunk-like smells.

"I just want your skin and your teeth

Eat your flesh and bone marrow and prepare it with leaves."

The room has various items where fall of the self

I used to eat your kind during the trials of Salem, boy, how dare you fucking!! Think you can't escape from me, you vile savage. You are cursed as an offspring of cane!!. Here, eyes had a hue of yellow that would make you mad. It was a face of pure darkness and Divine will. Her face was filled with various scars of the past. Some of them looked like the Salem witch trials. She was producing a combination of Bacterial vaginosis and smells that go beyond the comprehension of mortal senses.

After a few moments, the Baba Yaga released my hand, and I could see a strange mark on it. It looked like an enormous serpent biting its tail, with a raven skull at the center. There were witch runes and unknown languages inscribed all around it, making me realize that this was no ordinary mark. The Baba Yaga then spoke, telling me that only witches, demons, cosmic beings, Odin's crow children, and I could see the seal of Odin, the cosmic eye. She explained that it was invisible to the eye of mortals and lesser beings within the omniverse.

I was left trembling and confused, wondering what this all meant and what kind of power I had just been bestowed with.

Then I asked her what the mark was for. The Baba Yaga moved her hair from her face. She was revealing her cold blue eyes. She then said you should find out soon, silver. I then walked away slowly as the Baba Yaga started to laugh. Her laugh sounds like the screams of banshees and a murder of crows. A black flame-like aura formed around her, and multiple black spirits danced around her. I could hear the spirit's screams and laughter as her laughs got louder and more profound. Numerous crows and ravens were flying all around her, and I watched as her blue eyes kept rolling to the back of her eyes, and black blood was falling from her eyes like a flood of water. I walked out and closed the door as fast as I could. When I slammed the door, it made the murder of crows fly away in multiple directions. Black feathers are shedding and falling everywhere. Black blood was around. The wood floor was soaked in blood. I ran From the house and shut the old black wooden bone-like door quickly. The house then formed a massive purple magical barrier with vast, different, ghastly hues that looked like the 7th chakra, if it was a dreadful version. Suppose the purple was a physical embodiment of Putrid, Revolting, and Vile and had undesirable geometric shapes to eyes. The stench of decaying human flesh and rotten fish was everywhere. The baba yaga had meadows of Southern cotton. I wonder in my head, WHAT FUCK IS GOING ON NIGGA!!!? Am I Tripping THE Fuck out? Putting my free hand out, protecting my face.

My chest felt like a million bricks were crushing it. The baba had a face full of dreadful, and she had a wicked smile as black blood poured from every skin pore, eye, mouth, and other parts of her eldritch anatomy.

I just ran over to all of my friends. They all seem to be spooked and scared. Even the tough guy Dante had a face that was the very embodiment of fear. Oscar sarcastically said bro, who's ready for camping? We all just gave him a blank, emotionless face. We were quiet for at least two minutes straight.

As we all stepped out of the house, we approached the car parked in the driveway. I opened the driver's door and hopped in, ready to take the wheel. To brighten everyone's mood, I turned on some music, and it seemed to work like a charm. We all started singing along to the tunes and laughing, having a great time. Suddenly, Emma pulled out a blunt and lit it up, passing it around for everyone to take a few hits. I indulged in a couple of puffs myself, feeling my nerves calming down. From the back of the van, Dante piped up and asked me, "So, what did that old creepy lady want with you, Sliver?" she said like she was mimicking the voice of Marilyn Monroe. Her cheeks blushed as she played with her daisy-curly hair.

As I stood there frozen in time, an overwhelming feeling of dread washed over me. It was as if the entire world had stopped, and I was the only one standing. Suddenly, my mind was filled with a terrifying vision that felt all too real. It was like the flames of Hades were consuming me even though they couldn't see the dread on my face.

In the vision, I saw a large green fire burning brightly before me. Surrounding the fire were several witches, all of them dancing around the flames in a trance-like state. Each of the witches wore a different animal headdress, some even wearing large goat masks. A circle of old runes surrounded the fire, and the sight of it made my blood run cold.

It was night, and the full moon hung in the sky, but it was red as blood. As the witches danced, I heard them chanting in an ancient language that I couldn't understand, but it sounded similar to the spells and incantations of Baba Yaga.

To my horror, I saw that the scene was not empty. Ghoulish undead creatures were gathered around the circle's edge, and living humanoid skeletons and demonic beings were everywhere. Some crops that were cut in half still walked and picked their way to the scene of the ritual. Demonic creatures emerged from the woods, and some swarmed the skies above.

It was a vision that chilled me to the bone, and I couldn't shake the feeling that it was more than a dream. It was like a Hybrid of the chills of the polar winds of Alaska, and It was like the lighting of Zeus was coursing through my body. The fear was an everlasting presence that was vile and dark

As I gazed around the darkened realm, my eyes fell upon a large podium in the center of the space. The rostrum was adorned with a massive upside-down cross and was surrounded by a pentagram that featured a goat-like sigil at its center. It was an ominous sight to behold.

As I continued to scan the room, my eyes suddenly locked on a large humanoid creature standing on the podium. It had the head of a black goat, complete with two long black horns, and its body was that of a human. The creature wore occultist robes decorated with an unknown language written in black.

To my surprise, there were other men and women in the room, all of whom were similarly dressed in robes of various colors: green, silver, black, white, red, and golden. It was clear that they were all part of some cult.

As I watched in horror, the creature suddenly lifted a white hare, holding it aloft for all to see. Just then, the sky outside grew dark, and it began to rain blood. Lightning flashed, and thunder boomed, but the rain did not affect the large fire that burned brightly in the center of the room. It was a scene straight out of a nightmare. Behind the goat creature was a field of men, women, and children, all burning alive on spikes. Some men are on crucifixes. They have crowns of thorns on their heads. They had identical wounds that Jesus had.

The goat creature then raised its black humanoid hand in the night sky. Then, the goat creature said, "I am Judas Baphomet. I am the spawn of the lord in the woods, shun-ziggurat, the mother of a thousand young the black Gaia, and Bafumarias Mahomet, the ancient evil sky father from the burning abyss in farther of the woods. Mother, !!!?I call you to come to this earth with my brothers!!!! And sisters.!!! So we can burn this earth made in the image of Shub-Niggurath

. Now come from the black nebula with the brood of a thousand young!!!!".The world started shaking rapidly and violently, shattering the trees. I watched in terror as the earth began to crack and green burning flames scorched the land. I heard the demons and the undead laughing loud and in sync it made me want to stab my ears until I was deaf.

As I stood there, mesmerized by the green fire, I noticed something strange. The runes etched around the flames began to glow ominously in black. Suddenly, the green fire transformed into a pitch-black void that seemed to swallow all the light around it. The fire burned brighter as the witches circling it danced and chanted faster, their movements becoming more agitated with each passing moment.

"We are the children of the lord in the woods, the lord of this black earth!!! We rule the mountains of black Philip, the temple of our lord Levi Bafumarias Mahomet, the grand outer older and the creator of the black messiah Juda Baphomet."Some of the widths looked like skinwalkers wearing the bones of wolves and other Xeno alien-looking bones.

It was then that an enormous mass of writhing black tentacles emerged from the black flames, and the witches continued their dance around the monstrous entity. The sight was terrifying and mesmerizing, and I couldn't look away at the frightful.

They had silky Robes filled with spiders of various sizes and shapes; they smelled of sulfur in the air.

"We are the chosen brides of the black goat, Judas!!! We are the ones who hunt the spawn of man, spreading the samsara of hate that the demiurge s has projected to this plane of existence. Said the mountain widths as they danced. The green flames were brighter, and there were various burning skeletons whose bones were black.

Suddenly, everything went black, and I felt a moment of disorientation. When I came to, I found myself gripping the driver's wheel of a car with Dante beside me. It took a moment for me to realize that I was no longer in the presence of the witches and the black flames.

As I tried to come to grips with what had just happened, I heard Dante chuckling. I turned to him, confused, and he explained that I had muttered something about an old lady wanting me to give her number. The rest of the people in the car laughed along, and I couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Despite the laughter and light-hearted moment, my mind was still reeling from the horrific images I had just witnessed. The dream-like state I had been in felt much longer than the mere five seconds in reality.

As we continued our journey, the fuel gauge showed that my tank was almost empty. We were driving on fumes, faith, and the hope of reaching our destination. Finally, we spotted a vintage countryside gas station with a signboard that read 'The Black Shell.' It was a typical rural gas station, but it looked inviting enough for us to pull over.

Inside, we were greeted by an old, dark-skinned black man with a unique appearance. He had a pair of piercing blue eyes, which contrasted with his dark complexion. His hair was white as cotton, and he had male-pattern baldness. All over his arms, we could see various sailor tattoos, which looked intriguing. He wore a trucker hat titled 'Truck The Police' and a yellow and red flannel shirt with black buttons. His glasses had black frames, and the tints were red like a rose. On his chest, he wore a sticker that read, 'My Name is Dale Gold.'

As we entered the store, Dante couldn't help but grab many different snacks and food items. The counter was covered with candies, chips, and chocolates, making it look like a Halloween party. I couldn't help but give him a funny look and wonder how much he planned on buying.

I told Oscar to get supplies and some comics, then left. Oscar's pants were sagging a little bit. Has he pulled them up? He almost tripped.

Oh shit, wtf, my Nigga? I thought I saw the face of the gods!!! Oscar said. His face was red, and he had an awkward smile. He looked complete with embarrassed emotions. He quickly pulled out a mint and threw it in his mouth like two faces flipping a coin, and I'm not going to lie. It looked somewhat badass!

I laughed out loud. By the gods, you are lucky that the Shinigami of the void chose you. They would be putting your soul in one of their Novels. I laugh with Oscar because I see his face filled with friendship and joy. The birds were chirping songs of spring.

There were birds flying and other creatures soaring in the skies.

He wraps his arm around me platonically like an older brother, then says platonically you know that mission we talked about, Bill? His face had grub that looked as if Loki was fused with Eros. He has a face of pure mischievous energy. It was like playing with a bard in a tabletop role-fantasy playing. My favorite one was called Call of Cthylla: The Rise of Mother Krakens vol 5. That was one of my posters hanging in my room. That's how much I loved it. I also had some action figures called the Lords of Lovecraft.

Shut the fuck up, bro. I'm going to get the bag of fashion. Keep operation green on the low, bro. I don't need everyone to find out. I looked at Oscar with a face filled with fake evil intent like I was a Saturday morning cartoon villain. Combine with a stereotypical Italian mobster from the Bronx. I pulled out a joint and lit it with my lighter that had 777 below the world tree symbol.

We head off into the woods. As we were walking, we heard the horrid screams of ravens, crows, and other birds chirping. The birds were screaming perfectly in sync, like a choir of death. The chirps could pierce your eardrums and cause them to bleed if it was any louder."I WANT YOUR SKULL!!!! I NEED YOUR SKULL!!!!"YOU FUCKING DIRTY SAVAGE!!" said a demonic voice that was pure evil in my head.No one else noticed.

"I WANT TO EAT YOUR SOUL; I WANT TO KILL YOUR NAME; I WANT TO DEVOUV YOUR CHAKRAS; I NEED TO DESTROY YOUR TEMPLE OF WILL YOU DIRTY SAVAGE!!! YOU ARE NOTHING BUT MY MOON cricket!!!"The Voice screams louder.

We then see a bloody path. The trail of blood was unusually straight. For some reason, we still follow the path. But before we could even finish the path. We all hesitated because there was a horrific smell on the path. The smell of raw flesh decaying. We get the guts enough to finish the path. We trekked until we saw it. But before I fucking saw it, I threw up in my mouth a lil due to the fucking smell of the decaying organic flesh.

There was the body of a giant bear. The bear had black fur, and it was the size of a Grizzly bear. The rib cage was open, and some of the bones were cracked and damaged. All of the bear's organs were everywhere. Oscar pointed out that the bear was missing its heart. The skull of the bear was missing, and the blood of the bear was wholly drained. Not one drop was left.

The brain of the bear was split open on the ground. The bear's teeth were missing, and its tongue and gums were utterly removed.

Emma was shaking at the very sight of this horrific scene. Marry black has a weak stomach, causing her to throw up from the smell. Oscar is trying not to throw up. He hates real gore of any kind.

Dante laughs and then says the bear probably fought an enormous bear. This type of thing happens all the time. It's nature. Oscar cuts him off immediately before he can say anything else. Oscar then said what kind of animal, let alone a fucking bear is capable of this crazy mess, bro that doesn't even make sense.

Sarah says I think we should leave. We can do something else this year. I walk over to Sarah. She is visibly upset and afraid. I then said Sarah, calm down. I will protect you. Don't worry about anything or anyone, trust me. This might been a hunter

Then Dante said come on, lovebirds and losers, we have to get to the campsite before night, you scary cats. So we all walked until Dante found us the perfect spot. We all set up tents and other things to make us feel at home. To kill all the dread within the air. I sent Oscar to get some firewood. He comes back with a massive pile of sticks and twigs.

Dante places a circle of rocks around to be used as a fireplace. Oscar dumps the sticks. I grab the extra fuel pouring on the fire. I used Emma's cool skull lighter to light the campfire. We all felt the pleasant warmth of the fire. It felt like the flames were hugging us. I then make some s'mores.

We eat those delicious s'mores and talk about the good times together. We went on and on about all our fun and plans for next year. Oscar was doing some pretty funny stand-up. Then Dante passes everyone except Oscar a beer. Oscar then pulls out some chewing gum.

Then Dante, with an evil smile, said So, does anyone want to know about the three tales of the black woods? Oscar, Emma, and Mary said yes. But Sarah just gave an irritating look at Dante. Dante said well, you didn't tell any Oscar; you have to tell us the first one.

Oscar said long ago, enslaved African Americans would run to these black woods to escape from persecution. They would retreat to the deepest parts of the forest. They made villages within these woods. It said that they encountered a goat-like deity.

All of the people started to worship this goat-like deity. They then resorted to cannibalism. They would attack all who enter the black woods. Men, women, and children. They didn't discriminate on their targets. They would sometimes keep the women alive only to be used for sexual reproductive purposes. Some of the children were captured and forced to become members of this cult-like group.

Dante interrupted Oscar and then said It's my turn. You guys know, long ago, during the Salem trials, a witch was escaping persecution. She traveled until she found these woods. The witch was pregnant with satan's child. She hid in the woods also hide away from the local townsfolk and other people who were trying to track her down to kill or turn her in for a reward. She found a spot to give birth. She gave birth to a goat-like abomination. It had the head of a black goat. But the rest of the body was identical to a human male body. The goat demon then immediately, with no hesitation, started to eat its mothers alive. When it consumed all of her flesh, it grew into a full adult the size of a 7'7 man.

It gains the witch's arcane wisdom and knowledge. The goat-like creature is said to be immortal. Sarah waited patiently for her turn. When Dante was finally finished, Sarah said this is the third tale and final. Long ago, before the first man, the primordial being shub-Niggurath discovered Earth. She picked the black woods and used her blood to terraform the woods so that her young could survive.

She gave birth to goat-like abominations. Various goat-like beings. Some were humanoid in appearance, but others were eldritch half human half animal monsters. Some of her young are still matting with other beasts and devouring those who travel to this forest.

When she finished, I said you guys forget the fourth tale. Long ago, within these woods, a giant spacecraft of some sort crashed into the woods. Some of the local townspeople went to the scene of the crash site. The townsfolk didn't know what they were in for. One of the poor souls was stupid enough to open the door of the UFO. The townsfolk were also known to do wick sexual acts with goats and lambs. Some people would call them goat back mountain land of incest and goat fuckers. Dante took a break to hit a vape that was in the shape of a wizard pipe. I could smell the lemon mint flavors in the air. I watched him puff clouds of smoke and thick clouds in different shapes and sizes. I swear this man was Moses of vapes. The resin probably could be part of a sea of vapor resin.

Real quick, Oscar and Dante, didn't you all both work at the store's Wild Puffs? That was 15 minutes away from the black shell?

Me and I both gave a nod of approval like a stereotypical magical older black man in a Kingston novel.

Goat humanoid alien beings stepped out. They were creatures with multiple goat legs and had multiple mouths with a mass of tentacles. The goat beings were black and came in other different colors. The goat creatures had various mouths. They had tongues that looked like worms. The tongues had mouths on them. The alien's mind controls only one. Survivor, the poor fool who opened the spacecraft door. His name was Stone Johnson.

The rest were all eaten or dragged into the space crafted to be experimented on. Emma then said I heard a little about this legendary tale. I went to high school and was a descendant of Stone Johnson. He told me a shorter version of this.

After a long day of hiking and outdoor activities, Oscar told the group, "I don't know about you all, but I'm feeling pretty exhausted. I think it's time for me to hit the hay." He bid everyone good night and headed towards his tent. Oscar slipped into his sleeping bag, taking a deep breath as he settled in for the night.

Meanwhile, Dante announced to the group that he and Mary were ready to call it a night as well. They reached the big tent they shared, grabbing their sleeping bags and pillows. Once inside, they snuggled up close to each other, enjoying the warmth and comfort of the tent. The sounds of nature outside softly lulled them to sleep.

Emma laughed and said I know when I'm a third wheel. I'm going to bed, you love birds, have some fun. I have some joints to smoke goodnight. Emma walked and entered her tent to rest and sleep. It was just me and Sarah alone. I had feelings for her, but I kept them all bottled up. For some reason, I lacked much courage regarding the love department.

On this particular day, I felt different. It was as though I had built up the courage to express my true feelings towards Sarah finally, someone I had always had a special connection with. Despite being friends for a long time, I knew deep down that I wanted more than just friendship with her. And so, I mustered the courage and told Sarah that I had always liked her more than just a friend. I expressed how much I needed her and how much she meant to me.

To my relief, Sarah felt the same way. It was a moment of pure joy and happiness for us as we finally acknowledged the feelings brewing between us for so long. As Sarah returned to her tent, she playfully said, "Sliver, you owe me a date." We both laughed and smiled, knowing that this was just the beginning of something special.

However, despite our excitement and newfound feelings, Sarah was completely drained from the day's activities and quickly went to bed. Nonetheless, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the courage I had mustered to express my true feelings towards her finally.

"Sliver CROW YOU SHALL ME ONE OF MY EYES TO SEE PLANES BEYOND THE OMNIVERSE. I SHALL MAKE HUMANITY MY PAWNS AND SHEEP. YOUR FLESH IS SO WEAK IT IS ROOTED TO THE LOWER PLANES!!! The demonic voice sounds like an ocean of blades stabbing at my mind's soul.

"I CRAVE FOR YOU TO GO MAD OF THE EDLRICTH TURTH AND LAWS THAT I SHALL SHOW YOU CLEVER BIRDY MADE OF SLIVER. YOUR FATE IS SEALED; THE CHOSEN CROW OF THE BLACK DAWN SHALL BE THE MOUNT OF THE BLACK GAIA."

The voice in my head felt like a blazing inferno.

The voice in my head got even louder. It felt like my head fucking pounding. I took my meds and something for my headache.

Afterward, I stared at the fire, stars, and the moon. I feel exhausted, so I go to my tent to rest. When I close my eyes, all I see is darkness at first.
