Alphabet Walk

Amidst the tall trees
Beckons a spire
Climbing to the sky
Down below the moors
Ever covered in mist
Fog so thick like blankets
Gravestones poke out
Hauntingly the fog swirls
Images appear them puff
Just like that they are gone
Knaves lurk waiting for a victim
Lucky if you can avoid them
Murder is whats on their mind
Not just robbery, they been paid
Opals for to end a life
Plead not for mercy there is none
Quietly try to slip past
Right ahead of you in the tower
Sits the maiden of your dreams
The treasure you put yourself at risk for
Utterly silent you slip by
Venturing ever closer to your goal
With bated breath you slip inside
Xenocryst ring ready in your hand
Yellow crystal gleaming
Zap the guard and claim your bride
