"Wait," Angela screamed, standing perfectly still. "I know the chant."
"In," Blake asked, "Arabic?"
"Um… no," Angela replied. "I know the English."
"This," said Blake, "remains. just. great."
"You," Winters shouted, pointing to Angela, "say the chant in English. You," she continued, pointing to Simon, "translate into Arabic. And you," pointing to Blake, "keep doing whatever you're doing. But you will explain this all to me soon enough."
"Yeah, that works," Simon said, looking to Angela.
"Um… okay," Angela replied. "_By the Magnum Innominandum_ … er, um, _the Not-To-Be-Named-One, I banish you from life, Young One of Blackness._"
Simon paused, piecing the translation together. Finally he said: "ب ال نوت-تو-ب-نمد-ون , يبعد أنا أنت من حياة,من حالة سواد شباب واحدة"
Upon finishing the phrase, Alec's body became sludge underneath Blake's fists. "Good work," Blake grunted, out of breath.

Unfortunately, I have no use for them in my day to day life, so the finer details completely slip away from me.</p>
<p>As for the occult stuff, <strong>Howie</strong> knows a LOT more than me, I think. We’re basically pilfering the works of H.P. Lovecraft and his “disciples.”</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/13935?basename=236762007-11-17T14:35:58ZNickhttp://ficlets.com/authors/white1975Comment on Alec's Day Is Done<p>Haha, okay. (I didn’t see your comment until after mine was posted)<br />You still have a lot of other languages you use, and obscure (or at least occult) references, and I am continually amazed by it.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/13935?basename=236732007-11-17T14:29:36ZFyora Cartaganhttp://ficlets.com/authors/fyoramacraggeComment on Alec's Day Is Done<p>Wow, how do you know so many languages, <strong>Nick</strong>?<br />I marvel at your frequent use of languages vastly unfamiliar to me.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/13935?basename=236722007-11-17T14:28:05ZFyora Cartaganhttp://ficlets.com/authors/fyoramacraggeComment on Alec's Day Is Done<p>And I don’t know Arabic… at all. I used a machine translation service and it’s probably so horribly wrong that I would be ashamed. But it looks authentic for those of us that have no clue what Arabic means.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/13935?basename=236712007-11-17T14:27:13ZNickhttp://ficlets.com/authors/white1975
