The Ecstasy of the Abyss

As I descend into the depths of the abyss, the weight of the water above me a constant reminder of the power that lies within, I am met with the whispers of the damned. They speak of the ecstasy that awaits them, of the bliss that comes with surrendering to the void. It is a siren’s call, one that I have heard many times before, and yet it never grows old. For in the darkness, I find my true self, my true power. The mortals who come to me, seeking to experience the depths of pleasure, are but mere pawns in my game of seduction. They think themselves brave, willing to face the unknown, but I know the truth. They are but mere sheep, waiting to be led to the slaughterhouse of their own desires.

I recall the last time I took a lover, a young acolyte who thought himself worthy of my affections. He was blind to the danger that lurked within me, to the abyss that yawned open at his feet. But I showed him the way, guiding him step by step, through the twisted labyrinth of my desires. And when he finally succumbed, when he finally surrendered to the void, I was there to catch him, to cradle him in my arms as he screamed in ecstasy. It was a beautiful thing, a symphony of pain and pleasure, of blood and bone. And when it was all over, when the music had faded away, I was left with the sweet taste of victory, the knowledge that I had claimed another soul for my god.

But the abyss is a cruel mistress, and she demands a price for her favors. The mortals who come to me, who seek to experience the depths of pleasure, must be willing to pay the cost. And the cost is always the same: their innocence, their purity, their very soul. It is a steep price, one that few are willing to pay, but for those who do, I offer them a gift, a gift of ecstasy and enlightenment. And when they finally succumb, when they finally surrender to the void, I am there to catch them, to guide them through the twisted labyrinth of my desires. For in the end, it is not the abyss that is cruel, but the mortals who come to her, blind to the danger that lurks within.
