The Arcanist
08:50

|

dappled sunlight, through trees of old
casting golden hues, upon the wagon
a hooded figure, seated at the reigns
his face obscured by shadow, round his neck a glowing stone
emanating power
and ancient knowledge
arcane secrets
of a dying order
ever onward, into the setting sun
no past behind him, only vengeance lies ahead
into the city, towers of white stone
the streets are empty, soon they will flow with blood
the sun has set, now bathed in moonlights glow
in through the palace gates, to claim in blood the vengeance of his soul
bathing in power, the amulet begins to glow
screams arise in the night, as the ancient dread claims that which has been owed
he fell among their sleeping forms
beams of light, lancing as if they were cold steel
and all at once the bodies fall
a hunger rising, an ancient power old beyond time
yet still the darkness inside persists
his vengeance has brought no peace
misery breeds misery, he slumps to the floor
as outside, morning sun begins to rise

Labyrinthian Tomb
07:32
|
|
||
a cavern, depthless, stretches ever onward
footsteps, echoing, are the only sound heard
twisting and turning, directionless
here, in this place, there is no passage of time
confronted, onset with knowledge
and still unable to know ones self
outcast, exiled
a heavy price to pay
a power, forbidden
the knowledge cannot be contained
the ending, the beginning
a serpent, swallowing its tail
the liar, the betrayed
lost in a prison of his mind
descending, insane, feet numb and bleeding
forgotten, nameless, never again to see the light of day
