Thrilled For The Brawl

Sought out by the watcher inside
Determined by eternal law
The way in order to abide
Fall right down fate's black maw.

What dwells there has been often told
By those who passed the test
But to truly see how far to go
It's our task to unlock the chest
What troubles even the boldest
The nemesis can twist and form
Adapt to surpass what they do best
Invade the mind and leave them torn.

Nevertheless they cannot wait
That overwhelming sensation
The privilege of being a living bait
The thrill, the excitation.

Thrown into the pit
Amidst the raging stream
Torches of war lit
Sword and axe agleam
The onslaught is relentless
Beasts are closing in
As the living board is set
And the characters are moving.

And may the first the encounters
Have been losses for the greatest part
They spurred us to find out the ways
Of the masters of our art.

With power unprecedented
We march on through the gate
The chance that we have long awaited
Is there for us to take.

Before the newest spell's display
The surroundings have collapsed
Meanwhile the beast has got away
But now it know it's time's elapsed.

The assurance of our powers working
Unlocked a hidden door
By stepping through we entered the circle
Became masters of the arts we adore.

One task that's still left to be done
Is to learn to wield the newfound might
But just by tracking down the beast
We already are on the path to light.

What dwells there has been often told
By those who passed the test
But to truly see how far to go
It's our task to unlock the chest
What troubles even the boldest
The nemesis can twist and form
Adapt to surpass what they do best
Invade the mind and leave them torn.

Next occasions sighted
The overwhelming sensation
By facing beasts delighted
The thrill, the excitation.

Thrown into the pit
Amidst the raging stream
Torches of war lit
Sword and axe agleam
The onslaught is relentless
Beasts are closing in
As the living board is set
And the characters are moving.

Let me drift away
To solitary aethers
Where I can forget
All this profanity
So that when I come back
Stones will be stars again.
