Zinxong - The Torturer

De Mad Profete

Oracle of the one born of Hanuman's womb,

Words to confirm what has gone before.

Blessed is the one who grasps inner meaning,

For only the inner eye may read.

185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvacOBnn9aA

In the year of the badger,

My office to the Feeble One.

Century-old master of our sect,

And his bloated viceregent;

The Mad Prophetess.

185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirQNaD2B6K

Occupying the forlorn monastery of Tsang,

Whereupon no worldly man may enter.

The task was the keeping of the scrolls,

Housed in abundance.

No longer could they read the scripts,

Traced upon parchment.

From the skins of humans,

Stripped on their deathbeds.

185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jgec0kovf

When one might dare to read

What was written on those pages;

Dangerous doctrines might arise,

But forgotten by the tortures of our tribe.

185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8jwml6FKU

But these two arts,

Copying the scrolls.

Flaying of humane hides,

Was the monastery enriched.

185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtUxFtJVyV

Discipline for their prisoners.

185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzpm0BXvIH

Peaceful community,

Year after year.

'Till the return of Zinxong,

Away serving as the torturer;

For Qwon-Ling, the most powerful.

185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AgII7VKvo

At first rejoicing,

As for a long lost relative.

Little they knew that his warriors,

Were slaying all who opposed them.

185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvcNAw6v5x

Sounds of fighting in the dining hall,

All rose safe for the Feeble One;

Who had to be carried from place to place.

185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDQWry63Uh

The false brother greeted the warriors,

The chieftain as well as his shaman.

His tribe had made alliance with our rivals,

The Brotherhood of Leng.

185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX4Wn7b2AE

Their silken yellow caps glowed in the soft light,

Their presence was blasphemy.

A sword struck the Feeble One;

A second blow silenced forever the mouth of the Mad,

Prophetess ever at his side.

185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKzhQ43Ow5

None mourned greatly at the passing of the Feeble One,

His voice not being heard in many a season;

Since the Mad One had dominated him.

185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLpftrTw6Y

The Cult: the Red Hats of Tsang.
