Poem
When all the lights went out and the edge of darkness crept in, the Hero looked out over the abyss and came face to face with his sin. He had come this far, following the fallen star, he had come this far. He had fought through fire and hail, over seas of blood he had set sail. Over hill and valley to this last standing finale, he had come this far. His sword and scythe bore gore and strife, but he would not quit, he had come this far. But now he stared out into the dark and he now faced the only foe who could kill him. Now all his fears clawed at his eyes and he could not dissuade them. His Love stared back, though her heart would lack, the very love that had brought her to her fate. It was now, again, too late. The Hero fell to his knee, his frozen heart breaking as he sent his plea. "Let it not be her!!!!! How did this occur??? It can be anyone but she!!!!!" But God did not hear and could not see. It was no one else but she. Through age after long age he had thought he had lost her to the Devil. Well, she stood there yet still was she lost to the sly Devil. The Hero stood up from his seat, raising his lost eyes to her head from her feet. She did not stare back, for a soul and eyes she did lack. This was a shell, a shell raised from the pit of Hell. This was not his Love to be. This was not she. "Show yourself, Demon King!!! Put face to your treachery!!!" The Hero's demand opened the shadowy ring and out stepped He. "I am sorry to have done this, Hero. This is the Last War and I have to do everything I can." The Devil explained himself to the Hero, the Hero heard the Devil's plan. The Hero shook his head and then he said, "I know that my Love is dead. No shell will sway my hand or heart. I've come this far and now must play my part. For this I have bled." The Devil sighed and some say he again bent his hood and cried. "Then face your rotted bride. With sword and claw strip her hide. This is war and this must be done. Finish now what you have begun." The Hero raised his sword as his face sank and paled. "Once more my love has failed."
