The Journey Part 1
Dark and dank the cavern is,
The tunnel winding underground.
Light is almost nonexistent,
As she travels further down.
Her heart is hammering,
Blood thunders in her veins.
Gasping as she runs,
Her chest screaming out in pain.
Adrenaline is pumping,
Sweat dripping from her face.
Slipping on a broken stair,
Fighting in a desperate race.
Fire ahead is her only hope,
But perhaps her foe as well.
Inside this broken Earth,
It is impossible to tell.
She stumbles through into the light,
Across a cracked and ancient floor.
Falling weakly to her knees,
Staring up at the sacred door.
Her bloodied hands are shaking,
Fear fleeting through her eyes.
At last she has found her home,
A temple of truth among the lies.
The echoes from the stairs,
Remind her she is not alone.
She uses all her strength to stand,
Her blood staining the ancient stone.
The great door groans upon its hinges,
As she pulls with all her might.
Fear begins to creep back in,
Her mind screaming it's not right.
She has not come this far to quit,
And so she gives it everything she has.
The echoes growing closer,
Her breath fading far too fast.
Finally her efforts are rewarded,
As the door begins to move.
And without any time to spare,
She falls into the forgotten room.
The throne of the ancients sits before her,
The air within the tomb fills her very soul.
So many centuries are contained here,
So many things she did not know.
As she looks around in wonder,
The beast of Hell growling at the door.
She knows that she is safe at last,
And so falls, dieing, to the floor.
