Literature Text
Allele wakes in a place she knows too well
The confines of her old prison cell
It is far more vast than before
The bars studded with thorns - underneath, a grassy floor.
Darkness envelops all - still she makes out
Distant snarling creatures who without a doubt
Are all that remains off her former friends
Born from the betrayal they felt at their ends.
Salem for once almost feels sympathy
Salem for once almost feels sympathy
The creatures around him are similar to he
They do not attack him but instead urge him on
Pleading and begging for their own release
He is tempted to turn away
But remembers the pain of his own death replayed
He turns back - leading them into the fray.
Sisiri stays apart from the crowd
Sisiri stays apart from the crowd
Cursing his lack of speed as he goes
He'll find the bug first and take revenge
This time he will be the hero
You think if you kill that you can be good?
There can be no peace or acceptance if you would.
The incubus ignores the voice, though feeling less sure
He doesn't notice that he strides past a door.
Allele is ready to accept her end
Allele is ready to accept her end
To let the monsters tear and rend
She sees before her that she was horribly wrong
There is no god-given paradise for those who pass on
"I wish I could be forgiven...I know I should be gone."
Ready to give up so soon?
Remember for every prison room
You can find or make a key
Forge your regrets to set yourself free
Salem like his comrade heard the voice
Salem like his comrade heard the voice
He too ignores it - he has no other choice.
Peace is gained by cutting betrayers down
What is dealt must come back around.
His prey is now close in his sight
He gives the order -the monsters surge, eager to fight.
Allele is struck by the first beast's claws
Allele is struck by the first beast's claws
She is tempted to lash out without any pause
She steels herself and prays she is right
For there is no other way to win this fight.
With gentle hands she takes hold of the beast
Looks in its eyes and accepts her mistake
It struggles, she bleeds, but it too understands -
Forming a tiny part of a key in her hands.
Salem at first isn't worried at all
Salem at first isn't worried at all
Then realizes his forces are beginning to fall
He curses and abandons the ones who remain
He should have known better than to rely on others' pain
He and he alone will win this game.
Sisiri takes his true form and floats toward Allele
Who now holds most of a rose-shaped key.
Covered with small wounds that unlike her leg did not heal
From behind a long tail tries to choke her to death
From behind a long tail tries to choke her to death
But instead its owner now no longer draws breath
What is dealt comes back around
Salem hangs by vines off of the ground.
Allele is stricken by Sisiri's true shape
She can barely move; she cannot escape
The demon hesitates as he considers the hybrid
She whispers, understanding, but also making a plan
"You can kill me. I wouldn't blame you if you did."
Timid and harsh personas war in his mind
Timid and harsh personas war in his mind
He lunges with a hopeless, maddened cry
He tears at Allele - but she grasps at his heart
Hesitates for a second before pulling it apart.
Sisiri claws at his mask in his dying throes
What he could not remove - acceptance he'll now never know.
The hyrbird has the last part of her thorn-covered rose.
Allele bloodied and wearied stands with her now-finished key
Facing the door to freedom, never feeling less free
I'm sorry
She turns it in the lock
I'm sorry the one who escaped was me.
