Words of the Constant

It depicts an old civilization. The people look hungry and scared.

This tablet is too worn to make out.

Something dark creeps over the city and its people.

The people are shedding their skins. They look different underneath.

It shows a massive, technologically advanced city.

It looks like things weren't going so well for the people here.

I can't tell what's happening in this one, the picture's worn off.

There's... a shadow? Or something... they took some artistic liberties.

Woah, looks like they all started changing.

That must be what the city looked like a long time ago.

A mural of an ancient civilization, but something is wrong...

Whatever was here has been lost to time.

It shows shadows descending on the city.

The people weren't quick enough to escape. They paid a price...

They had the right idea for a while, but they must have made a mistake.

A picture of lots of unprepared seafood. I'm hungry.

This tablet's all worn down.

The world is flooded by a finely fermented black bean sauce.

The prawns being de-shelled.

The prawns have ascended into deliciousness.

Tis a portrait of an ancient people. They live in wretchedness.

There is no painting here. Only stone.

A great evil sweeps across the land.

Many of the people are cleaved in two!

A glittering city, blessed by the gods.

A picture of the city, before the fuel.

We all know what happens next.

They gained such an enviable power...

I know why you led me back here.

But it won't work.

It's a picture of some bug people.

This picture's all messed up.

There's a lot of black goop in this picture.

A picture of bug people escaping their bug outsides!

A picture of a city. It looks like a nice place to live.

Wendy

A people struck by famine and sorrow.

Wendy

A piece of their story, lost to time.

Wendy

They are consumed by darkness.

Then, rebirth.

Finally, a city, full of life.

An ancient mural of a non-mammalian civilization.

This mural panel is too eroded to decipher.

A dark shadow, or perhaps a substance, overtakes the civilization.

The citizens molt from their exoskeletons in this panel.

The city appears exponentially more prosperous.

It's got a picture of some gross looking people.

Can't tell what that was a picture of.

I think someone spilled ink on this picture.

Oh, gross! The people're losing their skin in this one!

It's just a picture of a city.
