Soulcrusher

Dedicated to AE for his 23th birthday 😉

I

In the deepest nooks of the valley of perdition

Right between the pits of agony and despairagony

Past the door of absolute darkness

At the end of the road where dreams come to die

I have come to meet the Beast

The path is paved with nightmares and fears

The air dense with a myriad of noisome perfumes

Orotund screams overwhelm my every sense

The sky is dark with clouds roaming with rage

A bitter taste fills my mouth and smother me

I look at the spectacle that is offered before me

Hundreds of demons are carousing around

It is truly their playground, their field

This entire world was shaped to their image

And they have become One with it

There, a harpy shrieks in terror

Imps jump over what is left of a caravan

A horde of jackals fight over their newfound prize

A simple banner with washed out colors

Burning for all of eternity, in the land of the damned

A medusa gazes at an unfortunate survivor

A manticore raises its tail threateningly

An ammut overwatch the process, waiting to strike

A behemoth licks its lips in anticipation

Even a dragon circles around, waiting patiently

For a moment, Time stands still

All those who have eyes observe the adventurer

An archdemon whets its demonic sword

Swings it around, flames blazing

And right in this instant, it is over
