Despite Professor Josephson’s stressful visit, a full night’s sleep and the light of a new day brought a fresh perspective. There was no reason why I had to choose between my magical studies and the admittedly less stimulating topic of mathematics. It would be difficult to commit time to both, but in theory, I should be able to. Andrew would understand my need to address both aspects of my life. The professor would clearly have a harder time accepting the dual path, so I simply would not tell him. All that was necessary was for him to think I was back on track. Though he may suspect otherwise, I only needed to ensure that I provided him no proof. And I would have to ask for his forgiveness—but not yet. I wasn’t close enough yet. I decided on one week—one week before I would begin to split my energies and recommit myself to mathematics. In that time, I intended to learn as much magic as I possibly could.

I was midway through the fifth of Mr. Hunt’s notebooks when the subject matter changed abruptly. They had previously been filled with spells and notations from various sources, with the entries grouped logically together. All of a sudden, however, I found passages copied seemingly haphazardly from different ancient tomes, mainly the Necronomicon and Unaussprechlichen Kulten. Never were these passages the texts of spells; rather, they revealed—in bits and pieces—the cryptic, forbidden knowledge of the Ancients. It was as if, at the time of the writing, he had begun to research at random, perhaps only satisfying his curiosity on certain topics and recording his most interesting findings in the notebooks. And while all of the information was interesting to some degree, I found one fragment to be particularly memorable.

It is said:

The Lord Azathoth fears the nothingness that came before and will come once again.

Yog Sothoth, the Gate, fears those few shards of the Crystal which survived the Struggle, aeons ago.

The messenger Nyarlathotep and the shadow Sothoth Pnath both embrace the darkness and fear the light.

That one which dwells below, Tsathoggua, fears the cleansing flame.

The Great Cthulhu does not fear.
