Competition
[GJW XIV Phase I] Fiction - The Old Tongue
Textual submission

Written in Haiku

Night burial vault
A forgotten casket glows
beyond the knowledge

Unseeable dark
A forbidden power waits
because of the corpse

Imperfect gravesite
A divine, taken right gives
despite the secret

Grieved break of day
A stolen treasure curses
at the perfect thief

A box of smooth black stone, approximately 25 centimeters long, 20 centimeters wide, and 13 centimeters tall. The long sides of the box are inscribed with ancient Sith runes of the incantation. The short sides have been engraved with various macabre imagery and symbols of death. The lid is devoid of decoration save for a single emblem etched into the surface. This symbol is unknown to all, forgotten to time. The lid will not open save for reciting the incantation in the tongue of the Sith. Inside are a collection of very old, very withered finger bones that radiate with a dark energy.
