The Askance Chapter 5 Part 6b

Further and further with Alkaiya behind me, we paced on Till the glow of the entrance… became a fade and was gone Nothing to be felt ahead of me, darkness I see to be everywhere Panic is bound to rise in me… had Alkaiya not found me there She held my hand with her own, pressuring yet with assurance ‘A little while more’ she seem to say to maintain my endurance And unconditionally to even my surprise… I led her onward With her close, fear was without life for the way forward As we move along, the chills of the dark gave way to warm Towards the right is as well where a subtle glow comes from Alkaiya was drawing closer to me with each step we took Perhaps of the lost time endured that only she understood And as we approached to a clearing of the engiven light I saw the reason to the illumination within this eternal night There was a tomb at the very center of the rounded cave With its lid covering just over the source of light to wave Years of dust as expected was a thicken mass upon the ground Effecting its weightlessness with each step taken down And approaching towards the tomb… flickers of light intensify gradually Seemingly in pertain to our presence thus enabling us visibility There was no way forward, simply a dead end, simply a tomb And from where we came, our only exit is no longer to loom Alkaiya however, appeared as calm from whence we started Choosing the furthest spot away from the tomb to be seated Ill-fated with a sense of lost, I look to her for a sign of hope But all she did was to close her eyes before finally she spoke} “The legendary Heaori-Chamber must we passage through To see to the one who mayhaps enlighten our fortunes anew It belongs inevitable to once more find myself to be here Yet, the mysteries of this Chamber lures but death to be near There is a message inscribe upon the surface for he who reads Yet to read… will promise catastrophe for the reader to meet I for one am just such a person who should have been the wiser And to inherit the curse… branded a coward would be worth better The past… given my past I have to learn to forget But to warn forth for a future you mayhaps yet regret I have read the inscription well, too well for my own good Yet the way forward opens nay where it should These words of the Heaori belongs to evil to speak With reasons for only the Goddess of Word empowers to seek Mayhaps a test for the chosen who must persevere on To be worthy a title as proclaim to the position to belong
