Chapter 12: Impetus

Do you dare dust the darkest dungeons;
defy the dreadfully damning draftiness?
Do you dare dive to the depths of despair;
defeat the disheartening, dismal dowdiness?

Soldier, march on!
Unleash the roaring beast!
The scouts have returned
with favorable facts to tell...

“In the beginning there was Shadow.
Craving recognition, it shaped out of itself.
But greed and fear divided its kingdom,
and Shadow was distraught.”

“Flanked by the twin kingdoms,
Shadow expands into a cavity;
into an endless chasm that
creates, sustains and consumes.”

“Waste no faith on strange magic
to set you free from the maze;
you’ll need to calm those ripples,
if you want to see your real face.”

“Blessed are those who take the sixth avenue;
the only way the prophets have evolved!
They can close their eyes and march ahead,
with a nerve of steel and a heart resolved!”

Soldier, march on!
Stop not until you are dead!
In the light of Shadow,
fearless future is easy to find.
