裴伦纳尔之歌,卷六
裴伦纳尔之歌,卷六 英雄之狂
[编者按:卷一到卷六均取自在帝国图书馆中所谓的先皇雷曼的手稿。它们是从一位第二纪元的不知名学者收集的残片所得的手抄本。除此之外,几乎没有人知道这些碎片的原始资料,其中有些看来是同一时期(甚至是同一手稿)的。但是,由于没有学术共识,对于这六个残片的确切写作时间,这里不会提供任何意见。]
传闻(说他如同)魔神之子一般来到了这个世界,西帝斯赋予他生命并给予他力量。但仍有其他人,如初投者费福德,认为裴伦纳尔那隐藏在星之护甲之下的胸腔中并没有心脏,有的只是一颗怒火形状的钻石,发出龙吼一般的嗡鸣声——这些都证明他只是一个神话人物,而且也可能是第一位降世于人间的神明化身。裴伦纳尔从不管这些流言是什么,他会杀掉那些胆敢和他讨论神明的人。除了艾丽西亚女王,那位曾被他提醒道:“立法高于论辩,是因信口雌黄永远敌不过铁证如山”的人。当他看到那些听见他说出这番话的士兵们迷茫不解的眼神时,他就会笑着耍个剑花,同时冲向凯娜的军营中去屠杀那些精灵俘虏一边大喊:“哦,亲爱的阿卡,我做这些是因为我们都拥有着同样的疯狂!当你看着我的同时,我也看到了你!巫摩瑞尔敢大声地呼唤我们的名字,是因为我们让他有这个勇气!”(就是在)这种愤怒与荒唐的话语中,裴伦纳尔陷入了疯狂,给整片大陆带来了预言中提到的毁灭与吞噬,让一切都重归虚无。而艾丽西亚女王对此束手无策,只能一遍又一遍地向他们的神明祈求援手;只有当他不想再把杀戮继续下去的时候,希望破灭而失魂落魄的人们才能侥幸生还。歌族人的贾利德曾经从远处亲眼见过一次这样的疯狂。当这疯狂落幕后,他还和裴伦纳尔一起喝了酒。期间,他问这样的自我折磨感觉如何,裴伦纳尔只能回答他说:“就像被梦抛弃了的梦想者一般”
The Song of Pelinal, v6
The Song of Pelinal, Volume 6: On His Madness
[Editor's Note: Volumes 1-6 are taken from the so-called Reman Manuscript located in the Imperial Library. It is a transcription of older fragments collected by an unknown scholar of the early Second Era. Beyond this, little is known of the original sources of these fragments, some of which appear to be from the same period (perhaps even from the same manuscript). But, as no scholarly consensus yet exists on dating these six fragments, no opinions will be offered here.]
And it is said that he emerged into the world like a Padomaic, that is, borne by Sithis and all the forces of change therein. Still others, like Fifd of New Teed, say that beneath the Pelinal's star-armor was a chest that gaped open to show no heart, only a red rage shaped diamond-fashion, singing like a mindless dragon, and that this was proof that he was a myth-echo, and that where he trod were shapes of the first urging. Pelinal cared for none of this and killed any who would speak god-logic, except for fair Perrif, who he said, "enacts, rather than talks, as language without exertion is dead witness." When those soldiers who heard him say this stared blankly, he laughed and swung his sword, running into the rain of Kyne to slaughter their Ayleid captives, screaming, "O Aka, for our shared madness I do this! I watch you watching me watching back! Umaril dares call us out, for that is how we made him!" [And it was during] these fits of anger and nonsense that Pelinal would fall into the Madness, where whole swaths of lands were devoured in divine rampage to become Void, and Alessia would have to pray to the Gods for their succor, and they would reach down as one mind and soothe the Whitestrake until he no longer had the will to kill the earth in whole. And Garid of the men-of-ge once saw such a Madness from afar and maneuvered, after it had abated, to drink together with Pelinal, and he asked what such an affliction felt like, to which Pelinal could only answer, "Like when the dream no longer needs its dreamer."
