دانلود کتاب Chronicles of Darkness: Mummy the Curse: Dreams of Avarice

I am the god Khepera. (1) I am the coming forth of things. I am the state ofexisting so I am the creator of everything, and am everything created, but I amnot the act of creation. I am the Word, and that which is said. I am the thingdesired, but not the Will that desires.In the beginning, I was nothing, for nothing existed to desire me. I dwelledin formless Nu (2) in waters that are not waters, storms that are not storms, andmovement without solid substance. I was a cry to become; a single word fromwhich would creep and thunder forth all things. Everything that exists containsme, except for starry A’aru. However, in the time of Nu there was no sky, noearth, and no Duat. A’aru was that which lay beyond me and contained theScroll of Ages, but with no words yet written upon it. All the elements of the starsexisted, but dispersed. I rested in the lightless place of all places. I was a tonguefloating in the saliva of Nu, in the mouth of that which was unspoken.I thought; “What shall come into being?” The thought became a solidthing, a stone in the mouth of all. I thought; “Who shall bring it into being?”Will moved within the stone and ground it into dust and the dust wassculpted into the god Atum, to answer my questions. (3) As I come forth, Atumcompletes. Atum is First Will, the act of creation, the binder of powers, allmale and female, all heat and cold, all noise and silence, all things that aremade, but not the power of that unmade. These were the first things writtenupon the Scroll of Ages.I was that which was desired and created. Long had I awaited Atum,who could desire and make. So Atum took hold of the shadow upon Nu,which was my body, and knew me as husband and wife, and I made Atumwife and husband. Atum’s seed entered the water and he coaxed my seedfrom the water, and we were made fertile. Impregnated by Atum I broughtforth Liquidity from Nu, and from Atum’s mouth was born Aridity. (4) So Nu’swaters became mist and steam from the breath of Aridity, and Atum’s rockbecame sand from the crashing waves of Liquidity.
