The Askance Chapter 5 Part 6a
The Heaori Chamber
Several nights ago, I had a dream
A dream questioning my faith in The Ancients
Am still deciphering what is to mean
Before all comes to fall into unimaginable moments
The death of Alkaiya to be caused by my makings alone
Standing over her lifeless body after with her cryptic bow held
That one prophesize dream I am still to recall from a year ago
For it all not to happen, my soul to the devil I will gladly sell
However somehow I fear this is not to be so
After much experience, no good is to come to favour
Heaven’s wrath isn’t to be taken lightly to each our role
For as certain as it seem, our laid path is looking ever darker
This night, I can feel the Ancients calling for my return
Everything everywhere seem denser and lesser of life
Behind my closed door my welcoming tonight I do not yearn
For to return will only mean a someone isn’t to survive?
But in a sudden, a newfound courage dawns on me
That instance I am to wonder, why am I running from it all
For what is bound to happen, is likely to happen to be
And to unravel for a precaution to decide rather than to ignore
And decidedly I close my eyes to the acknowledgement
Accepting all of which I have been escaping for a long while
What once to be my world, I open my eyes now to The Ancients
My time is set to place to see if time… is to favour somehow
{From the last moment whence I am to leave
I returned to the same instant for my time to weave
The darken rocks were as before, masking the wilderness
Our surroundings stood ever still, unmoving time as timeless
Devoid of life seemed the very nature of this accursed place
When even demons dare not to enter to the eradication to face
The mystery behind the Heaori Chamber truly is intriguing
For what madness is to hide behind that of the unknowing
With Alkaiya’s escapade, I could only be cautioned and weary
Though being warned, to venture through remains definitely
For after the chamber, lies the Goddess of Word we are to seek
And through the chamber, is my dream to be… I am to meet
Fear was already embedded into her eyes when I turn to see
A fear she is to know too well behind the Chamber’s mystery
I withdrew my sword, holding in place in deem to courage
Taking my first measured step into the very chamber of age
Darkness was painted before my eyes, upon stepping through
A fear of death looms, yet of death awaiting was only to feel
