This is a short poem written by Flamel. It is based off of the short times when he slips consciously into the Void. When this happens, he remains motionless, staring; completely oblivious to anything around him. Nothing stirs him until he comes back himself. These 'excursions' are one of his main reasons for researching Black Magic.
The Void
I fall in once more,
to the black emptiness.
No light shines,
or pierces the darkness.
I hear the screams.
I hear the cries.
Of things unknown,
and hidden from my eyes.
They are there, watching;
every move I make.
But the fear keeps me still,
with every breath I take.
I close my eyes,
and pray it a dream.
But prayers go unanswered
in The Void, it would seem.
Be gentle...
