Hey all! Manager 6 here, and me and 1313 were able to get this uhm, I’m not really sure what it is exactly. A warning? A prophecy? A threat? Whatever it is we were able to get it with the increased psychic energy created by Mr. Cold’s presence. I’m still not sure what most of it means other than some clear references to some occult figures, but the part that really caught my eye was the last part. Is that where Julia is?

Dark tomb below the ocean deep

Slept a beast of hellish creep

Slow his titan maw did gape

Swallowing all who couldn’t escape

And at the shore of black'n curse

Flies swarmed a lonely ebon hearse

And in its cabby laid a boy

Dead back then, t’was just a ploy

~

For in her breast a demon slept

Hidden to most, a secret well-kept

Seal'd with shapes oh so sacred

Her return was all but fated

And no angel, here on Earth

Could stop that hellish birth

For curs'd twins born to languish

Always end in cleaved anguish

~

And in the thrall of Heaven's Lord

She sat and waited, always bored

Seen that cycle through and through

So she thought she’d seek something new

Not here not there, but elsewhere

Among the clouds and deep despair

She sat and waited for war to break

Then she ate herself like a snake

~

O ancient Lord of plundered gold

Now with country in your hold

No part to take in the war

‘Til the blood is shed no wealth to score

So you chose to make the Devil's bargain

And tie the twin worlds' margin

Yet we cautioned for a barter

Lest you become another martyr

~

Like the boy inside the cabby who slept

He had no choice but to die and then accept

The swarm of flies most foul-n-fear'd

Festering in the Hollow most revered

Still that darkness in him remaine

For that hunger can never be chained

No man nor beast'll see him dead

Not until his hunger has been fed

~

So in that cabby the boy did weep

For his soul was played for keeps

But tears dry fast as shadows come

And the boy’s body quick went numb

With nothing left but rage and hate

Against those who dared to seal his fate

So now he gathered his hellish congregation

To cut a path toward all damnation

~

Far away in room unknown

A girl sits sad and all alone

Death and her are one and the same

For she too will bear the curs’ed name

To break the cycle and stop fate

She will need to take the name of eight

Things go up that should go down

Far, far away in J’s hometown
