““The song came back suddenly, longer and more triumphant! It was the sweetest sound I’d ever heard. The voice of an angel. “SGN’WAHL! SHA’SHOGG! THROD! CTHULHU’AI!” The ground shook again. I was so lost in that most beautiful of songs that once again I fell to the stone. I peered up from the ground… and marveled.””
