I see the monsters face through an immaculate lens
The fame that this will foster breaks a pacifists trends
I made it. I have got here. One more task and it ends
Instantaneously ponder recent passing events
...
Lifes unequal. No curse could cure it of that
It’s this lack of balance where the purities at
You certainly have to discern truth and fact
But you’ll learn that since birth, your virtues are stacked
And I grew up in an age and era hazardous as ghastly glows
Assassin trained, my tutelage surpassed what my attackers know
A bounty hunter, proudly love it, found one that attracts my hope
Pounded on a bulletin outside a kitchen past my home
Reward: Profound in riches, I have an itch and have to go
Slay the savage witch who lays within the sacrificial catacombs
My mission, It was grandiose.
First step, the maps unfolded. Pencil prints my path to go
Passing slopes in lands that savage folk are known to have control
But with a passive, planned approach, I can transverse past patrol
First, get to packing clothes and nit-nacks till knapsacks are full
Tie up any tasks at home, and finally, at last I go
Reached the entrance to my destination safe, with little incident
Same would not be said if I had made this trek in winter winds
The dangers... They are kept within the maze that I am glimpsing in
Courageous traits and bravery were tamed. A poster pinned,
It said:
Try surviving the trials that turn boys to men
Or be destroyed and sent into a void dimension
Step within the moister section, a poignant wetness
Inside the inner cloister where the soils densest
A gate behind me closes, time for choices have ended
Walk down the spiral staircase, it’s avoiding ascension
There’s a moist aroma, curved walls complete with jaws and teeth
Skeletal remains and it reminds me what a loss could mean
One with nature, kicking off my sandals, feel the moss beneath
Hear a noise, see nothing but the vapored mist that cross my knees
Feel the weight of someone's gaze, proceed to make my laps, and quick
My vision sees a thousand hallways make a maze; a labyrinth
It’s like a concrete coffin, got me walking in circles
And it haunts as its curving like it’s Dante’s Inferno
After walking for so long and seeing nothing new while passing by
I spot a subtle change, finally something strange to catch my eye
A hazy, shaded hallway, like the others but it’s gap was wide
Inside is candlelight and the damsel that I have to find
I'm rattled by the fact she appears to live here harmlessly
I whisper from the shadows "Ma'am, don't move, I'll slice an artery,
Answer what I ask and I'll pass these parts and start to leave.
Why are you here?" She said, "Fear of people bringing harm to me"
Is that honesty or witch's lies? Is her armoury through speaking?
I slit her throat, she fades into mist that drifts beneath me
Then it lifts in sequence like a vision; grim and creepy
And begins completing an image of a Djinn, a genie
My first impression is she’s not the type to give out wishes either
This fictitious creatures speaking, life or death, decisions keeper
Told me listen as she’s talking, she’s the product of truth
“You got a contract, off this monster for a coffer of loot
The lessons demonstrated, it’s an ominous truth
That’s death put on a price, so the monster is you!”
The room changes to a hall of mirrors which starts spinning, then crashes
I'm sent flying due to gravity that's shifted my axis
Land with eyes closed, feeling glass bits where my hands hit
When they open, in a mirror shard I glimpse into panic
