23

Even with the cult of the ancient beasts, it was the lords of chaos, the worshippers of brains, with more propriety than that of the awakening of the delirium of opium, with the bitter lapse in daily life, and it was so, in which the hooded masters and the procession of souls, on a day of horrible mist with the fall of the sky, towards the big rain ceremony day.
In which the heart froze, sank, fell ill — an irremediable one, with the sadness of thinking that not even the sharpest imagination would be
In which the master priests were able to extract anything from the sublime.
What was that?
When I stopped to think, what was it that it so disconcerted him as he contemplated
The city was surrounded by supernatural forces.
The great house of Adunan.
In which he was one of the guardians of the totally unsolvable mystery. He could not even fight against the macabre chimeras that befell some dissident priests, in which he was sent to the great circle of temples, where he pondered.
When I had to content myself with the unsatisfactory conclusion that it was that while there are undoubtedly combinations of natural objects with the mystical shadows, in which everything was taught in a very simple way, which have the power to affect us in this way, the analysis of that power, the mystical force of which lies in considerations beyond our comprehension.
When I went to reflect on what was possible that the mere different organization of the innumerable particularities of the scene, of the details of the painting, would be enough, all this to modify or, perhaps, even annihilate the capacity that they whenever they have to bring us sorrowful impressions.
It was with this, that I drove my chariot along the road, during the passage, towards that direction between the mountains, to the steep edge of a black and dreary lake which shone disturbingly near the temple, and I looked down; But that's when I shivered more than before seeing the inverted image of the intoxicating reeds.
That region, which lay among the gray immensity, of the ghostly trunks of the trees and the windows that, in which the monsters and hooded beings passed through the procession with what showed their salty form, which looked like empty eyes.
So, even so, when I arrived, in which I presented myself, towards that temple, in which I followed with the line, in which I was to enter, all this so that I join some allies, so that we can stay in that melancholic temple for a few weeks.
When the masters and owners of the nearby mansions, in which Mr. Roderick Morgaine and Master Edelgard Usher, had been one of my blessed companions when we were young, but it was many years had passed since our last meeting to enter the order.
Meanwhile.
Since everyone there had reached me a letter, in a distant part on the other side of the country, it was a letter from him, and due to its urgent nature, it did not admit of any other answer than one given personally. My friend, in what seemed to be extremely agitated and nervous.
When he talked about his acute pains in his body, about a mental disorder that had been afflicting him, that he needed an ally and a successor, in which he apparently followed his most powerful and sincere desire to see me, as his best and, in fact, being that he was his only friend.
Continuing in an attempt to improve from his illness with joy, with this, knowing my presence.
That was the way it all, in which much more was not said, the way the request seemed to have been made from the heart, in which it left me no room for hesitation; and I obeyed faithfully, this being one of his supplications, so he was going to visit him, in what I still consider very unique.
Although we had been very close as boys, I knew very little about my friend, in which he had always shown himself, even though he was overly reserved.
I knew, however, that his family, being very old for ages, but gradually lost strength, influence, power and wealth.
Being that they were not part of the organization, in which they were very well known, in that hour, from time immemorial for having one, in which was peculiar sensibility of temperament, revealing it, for a long time, in many works of exalted art, and subsequently in that repeated acts of charity, generous but discreet.
Even if also, in that they were devotees of the complexities, perhaps even more than of the ancient sects of Um-Mu, in which they came with the sects, of their endless orthodox beauties and easily recognizable of musical science.
So, I who knew, too, the noteworthy fact that the family lineage, Edelgard and Edelgard Usher, they were cursed, even though his family was part of an ancient family of traditional and ceremonial origin, they did not know how to choose their friendships, nor what to do, in what it was like, he could not say, but as if it had had no ramifications, a part of the long-lasting ones, after the curse.
It was thus, in other words, that the whole family was confined to one of these lines of direct descent, and it had always been so, with the exception of its innumerable insignificant and transitory variations.
Being this deficiency, which I thought about, while I was going through in my thoughts the perfect harmony, even coming from the aspect of property with the recognized character of the people, in which it was so, that it was speculated about the possible influence that one may have exerted, being on the other over the centuries.
This fact, perhaps, and the consequent transmission, from father to son.
Even so, from the heritage and the name that had made the family and the house come together in the name, it was so, exotic and ambiguous of the so-called Sect of One-Mu.
Even though since the emergence of this name it seemed to allude then, in the minds of the peasants who worked there, both to the family, then, when the temples appeared, in which they met towards the temple of Zarathanis.
When I said, in that the only effect of my childish experiment, even that was to look down into the pond, in which I had deepened my first and even being singular impression of the place.
So, without a doubt, the fact that I realized that my superstition increased, then...
"Was it because I shouldn't express it?"
What this made her increase more and more strange the fog that spread through this city.
Even though I have known for a long time that this is how the paradoxical law of all feelings, even those derived from terror, works.
In what perhaps it was only for this reason that, it was when I raised my eyes again to the house after having seen, its reflection in the water, strange ideas grew in my mind
In which, moreover, such ridiculous ideas, which I only mention to show the strength, with the intense sensations that oppressed me.
When I had so much strained, with imagination she made me really believe that over the whole temple of Zarathanis and the estate there hung a very peculiar atmosphere, in which they themselves and the vicinity.
