Description
And I heard a voice like the splitting of mountains. And lo, my gaze fell upon a colossal hound; and the name of she that rode upon the beast was “Dagitab” - the first herald of the Delubyo.
Unto Dagitab was given dominion over the Sun; and unto Dagitab great power was bestowed to turn gold into unyielding stone. And with a gesture of her hand, she summoned forth a howl from the beast; and its echoes traversed the firmament, quenching all fires that dared to flicker.
As I turned my gaze towards the horizon, a tempest of lightnings unfurled, such as not were seen for two score millennia. And I beheld a mighty city, once steadfast, lay shattered into thirty-three fragments. The ribs of the thirty-three fragments creaked open, and from these ribs emerged men, swarming like locusts, black as sin and hunger, with eyes ablaze like burning embers.
And as the last spire crumbled, I heard Dagitab’s voice, mighty as thunder, proclaiming: “It is accomplished”.
Dagitab was created in the Basilica by fusing Kimat and Cassiel.
