no warning my sea had gone quiet i was there but not prepared to brush with the terrible creature i had found she invoked my fear now caught in the height of my voyage i looked into the sea and focused in my own reflectionwhat i saw how i felt betrayed in the gloom ruby eyes watched me from behind a mask with a face just like minewaiting for my consent such a culling could mean my end trust and certainty both guiding into the grave a foolish inquiry i tested the weight of my anchors i d survive so down i climbed what wonder could hide in that spiral should i fail it would mean more shame was it pride was it greed that lead me to such poor accord in the jaws of the beast would i still feel the same all my life i d been robbed of all my dignity but now i was the rogue who would return it back such a culling could mean my end trust and certainty both guiding into the grave a foolish inquiry she hangedshe lingered until i dropped my gaze her roarwhat thunder to haunt my every dream such corruption leaked into my sea in my confusion she broke through the fence o she was patient and sat on my line a turning of tide was she the prey or the hunter o i had believed me the hand of a god how i must be insane but the best of us are this madman is bringing home glory and prestige behind the complex is a man with the soul of a king or a meal for the beast credits2
