Sandyman
Guess what?!? Professor Trelawney was on Lamma! She was taking a short break here to chill and check out our dragon boat races.
Anyway, after the spectacular win at Disco Bay I took Professor Trelawney out for a drink as it was her last night here. Unfortunately, none of the places we went to had any sherry. So I invited her back to my humble abode for some single malt.
After a bottle or two of single malt, I thought I could not possibly let Sybill or Professor Trelawney leave without doing at least a tea reading for Lamma. I know how some of you may feel about the Art of Divination and Professor Trelawney. Yes, it is often quite imprecise and she can be a bit off. But she did get it right a couple of times about the Dark Lord.
So I made some tea and this is what happened:
“No, Lamma has the curse of Sandyman! It is a dark omen. You must warn everybody! I must leave at once.”
“Sybill, wait! Calm down. What is this curse of Sandyman? Who is this Sandyman?” I asked.
“Sandyman is the mistress of the night. She is here. I can feel her presence here. Yes, she is here. Lokkanat, you must warn others. Sandyman will poison from within and turn men against men, women against women, women against men, neighbours against neighbours, and even elves against men. She will destroy this community.”
“Sybill, what should we do?”
“Sandyman is here for revenge. She was here a long time ago. Sandyman, Sandyman, Oh Sandyman!”
Professor Trelawney then went into a trance and she chanted:
“Sandyman Oh Sandyman
Comes knocking on the door
Sandyman Oh Sandyman
With evil never seen before
Sandyman Oh Sandyman
Will poison men and women from the core
Sandyman Oh Sandyman
Shall devour all till we exist no more.”
Normally, I would shrug it off as one of those silly nights drinking with Sybill. But this time I realize there may be some truth to what Sybill said because there is an entry in the Lammayan Chronicles called Sandyman.
I’ll let you know once I have translated the Sandyman entry.
