अहं भवतः अन्तः निवसति - I Live In You

In the depths of their new home, Nola stumbled upon a hidden secret. A box, concealed beneath the floorboards, beckoned to him with an eerie allure. Covered in a thick layer of wax, it exuded an air of mystery and foreboding. Curiosity gnawed at his insides, compelling him to pry open the box and reveal its contents.


Inside lay a book, its pages yellowed with age, written in a language long forgotten by the world. Yet, to Nola's astonishment, every word was comprehensible to him. It was as if the ancient text whispered directly into his soul, weaving a sinister tale of darkness and despair.


As Nola delved deeper into the book's forbidden knowledge, an evil presence began to seep into their lives. Shadows danced in the corners of his vision, and the once harmonious atmosphere of their home twisted into a chilling symphony of unease. Unbeknownst to Nola, the words he devoured with fervor were poisoning his mind, distorting his very essence.


Nora’s father was worried about him and terrified. One day, while Nolla was out, his father began digging through their mansion to see if he could find anything that would help him understand Nola’s condition. Finally, he heard faint whispers which lead him right to a mysterious book under the floor boards. The second he discovered the book his ears began to ring, and he fell to the ground in freight, as he heard screams unlike anything he had ever heard before, and the page is flipped and flew out of the book all over the room. Once the chaos came to a hauler, one single page lay in front of Nola’s father.


There written in blood was “अकल्पनीयभयानकक्षेत्रं, भवतः ज्ञानात् गुप्तं स्थितं जगत् उद्घाटयितुं स्वयमेव सज्जीकुरु । अन्तः एतावत् विशालः शक्तिः निहितः अस्ति, सा भवन्तं अप्रतिमक्षमतां प्रदातुं प्रतिज्ञायते। तथापि सावधानाः भवन्तु, यतः एषा महाशक्तिः अतिशयेन शुल्कं गृह्णाति। अन्ये तव हस्ते अकथनीयं दुःखं सहन्ते, तव प्रथमजातः शैतानस्य एव पङ्क्तौ बलिदानरूपेण अर्पितः भविष्यति। किं भवन्तः यत् विमोचनं कर्तुं प्रवृत्ताः सन्ति तस्य परिमाणं अवगच्छन्ति? अशुभम् अपि”


He was not quite sure what this text said, but he did recognize bits and pieces of the language, from his University days, studying history. He ran down to the library of their mansion until he found the book he had in mind flipping through the pages rampantly, he learned the language was, in fact, a dead language, “Sanskrit.”

Hours pass as he tried to do whatever research he could in order to find a translation that made sense of the words on the page. As he got closer and closer to the correct translation, the books became too hot for him to even get near or look through the last, though he pushed through, covered in burns, stating in bewilderment at the words that were in front of him. It was not a perfect translation, but it was the best he could do.


“Prepare yourself to unlock a realm of unimaginable horrors, a world that has remained hidden from your knowledge. Within lies a power so immense, it promises to grant you unparalleled abilities. However, be warned, for this great power exacts an exorbitant toll. Others will endure unspeakable suffering at your hands, and your firstborn shall be offered as a sacrificial tribute to the clutches of Satan himself. Do you comprehend the magnitude of what you are about to unleash?”


Gradually, the transformation continued taking hold. Nola's once jovial demeanor withered away, replaced by a cruel and sadistic nature. His father, once a pillar of strength, became the target of his son's newfound malevolence. The book's insidious influence twisted Nola's perception, blinding him to the horrors he inflicted upon those he loved.


His girlfriend, a beacon of light in his life, suffered the brunt of his torment. The foreign language whispered wicked instructions into his ears, goading him to commit unspeakable acts of cruelty. What was once a tender love became a nightmare of abuse and pain, all orchestrated by the insidious book's dark enchantment.


It was not until Nola intentionally caused his girlfriend to miscarry, the weight of his actions crashing down upon him, that a flicker of realization ignited within his tormented soul. Horror and revulsion consumed him as he comprehended the depths of his depravity. Seeking redemption, he sought solace within the hallowed walls of a church.


Within the sacred confines, Nola pleaded for deliverance from the malevolence that had consumed him. The priest, sensing the darkness that clung to his very being, embarked on a perilous exorcism. As the cleansing ritual commenced, a vile substance akin to black tar, fire, and blood erupted from every pore of Nola's body.


The room echoed with screams, the cacophony of dying souls, and maniacal laughter as the sinister entity fought to maintain its grip on Nola's shattered spirit. With the priest's unwavering resolve, the abomination was banished back to the depths of hell, its hold on Nola severed.


Though the scars of his past would forever mark him, Nola embarked on a journey of redemption. He sought to make amends for the pain he had inflicted upon his girlfriend and father, striving to become a better man. In time, he found solace in the embrace of faith, ultimately becoming a priest.


As a priest, Nola shared his harrowing tale, warning others of the insidious ways in which evil can infiltrate their lives. He preached of the dangers of dismissing the seemingly innocuous, for behind the facade of normalcy, true horror may lurk. Through his testimony, Nola hoped to save others from the clutches of darkness and guide them towards the light.
