CHAPTER 1.24 SUDDEN MOMENTS OF CLARITY
“My soul it stands for you
my legs hold me still
as we wait your mighty truth
standing on the lonely hill
Our will it waits for you
our arms outstretch towards the sky
deliver yourself true
and we will be free of lies.”
Wait a minute, this is a hymn, a Voss Novian hymn.
Easy now Kad, wait for the right time.

It''s the betrayal. It''s taken its toll on the old timer.
What do these idiots want?

“slaves tot eh churches. The men in power who preached about gods, how we were doomed to punishment for not fulfilling demands we could not possibly achieve? How they tortured us as children, groped us, forced us to comply under the fear of an eternal damnation only they promised us. That ends now. This, my brothers, my siblings, is what we''ve been holding onto for, for so many years.”
“lies, the incessant punishments. I realised that we would forever be trapped by them...if we don''t break away from them ourselves.”
“love those? Those, sudden moments of clarity.”
“we, the scorned, those who were betrayed from the hands of the church, those who claimed to want to help us, guide us, who tortured us for their own amusement, we shall rise, with a new power. We will awaken the great spirit of the spider, taken into Raca''s form, and a new order will be established.”

“needs to be someone to help us, because we need to see if this power is useable. It''s only a little blood I require, just a little to awaken the energies that will be. You should all feel lucky, being chosen to awaken that which has slumbered for many thousands of years. ”
“
Clack.
“
“
“
Damn it, there''s only one way this can go, isn''t there?
“
Not if you keep your fool mouth shut.

“die, Consumer, though you will face judgement when the Spider is awoken.”

“
“strong, by far the strongest here.”
“
“
“that is tainted blood.”
“
“
I''ve never felt anything like this before, its stirring, and insatiably hungry.
“
“
“
Clack.
“leave this place, before-”
“

“is that?” Naika asked.

“go.” Kad said, and the other Costumers agreed.
