“I gave you life eternal,” Caine cried,<br>
“And you have defiled it!<br>
I gave you dominion over mortal men, and you have abused it!<br>

“What shall I give you now?<br>
What justice suits you, my errant children,<br>
That you would destroy the ones who gave you life?<br>

“For what you have done I will curse you all<br>
Not merely with a handful of words,<br>
But each according to his nature,<br>

Each one according to his crime.<br>
Let my curse reign in his blood forever.<br>
Let it be passed down through his embrace,<br>
To each of childer, and to their children in turn.<br>

“And if the night comes when you forget my words,<br>
And tempt my wrath anew,<br>
Then will I awaken the curse within you<br>
And it shall lay you low,<br>
Low as the worms that crawl in the dust.”<br>

Behold, she who thought of<br>
Nothing but her own fleeting<br>
Pleasure,<br>
Shall by her own pleasure be<br>
Enslaved.<br>

She who claimed innocence<br>
Because The Beast ruled <br>
her shall be slave <br>
to the Beast forever.<br>

He who took no action, but<br>
Abandoned others to their fate,<br>
Shall be himself outcast, and<br>
Trusted by no one.<br>

She who used the wild beasts for<br>
allies in her killing<br>
Shall become a beast herself, so<br>
that all men revile her.<br>

He, who sought to hide his<br>
monstrous deeds<br>
Shall become monstrous <br>
in visage,<br>
and doomed to dwell <br>
in offal and darkness<br>


He who reveled <br>
in the darkness of<br>
his own foul hunger<br>
Shall be bound to that darkness<br>
forever, kin to the most vile,<br>
accursed by God.<br>


He who loved death for death’s<br>
own sake<br>
Shall wear death’s countenance <br>
for all to see and fear.<br>


Behold my darkest childe, who<br>
killed with shadows.<br>
Let the shadows veil his soul, so<br>
that all may now his crime.<br>
Behold my proudest childe, <br>
whose own pride<br>
betrayed him.<br>
Let the blood of the humble<br>
sicken him, and give him no<br>
sustenance.<br>

Behold my most loveless childe,<br>
who fed upon his brother’s pain.<br>
Let him know equal torment in<br>
any domain but his own.<br>

Behold my most deadly childe,<br>
who loved murder <br>
for its own sake.<br>
Let him be addicted <br>
to the taste of killing, <br>
so that all may fear <br>
and loathe him.<br>

Behold my most foolish childe,<br>
who claimed madness for his<br>
pleasure.<br>
Let him become mad <br>
in truth, so<br>
That all may fear his company. <br>


When he had spoken thus, the night was still and hushed<br>
And not one dared to speak.<br>
Yet there was one to whom he had not spoken<br>
And all eyes turned to him.<br>
Gentle Saulot, whose ways were of healing,<br>
And who had sought to staunch the flow of blood<br>
In sire and in childe alike.<br>
“You I shall not curse,” Caine said, “for you alone were steadfast.<br>
