Look in the fog, the blue haze fills the empty void
Death’s in the air, projections form all around her
Mist begins to, change it’s feeding from her aura
Nomarius, waits the outcome of her nightmare
She’s bound by chains in a dark room
A bright light crawls beneath a door
Footsteps approach the other side
Her fate lies in a stranger’s hands
Must abide to his desires
Or take one more strike from a whip
There is no more humanity
She’s just a slave, to his lust!
A man gives a young girl a ring
But her smile is torn off her face
She’s thrown into an alleyway
Too young to face the city demons
She is pushed right into the ground
Giving up dignity at gunpoint
The price to pay for survival
She’s just a slave, to their lust!
What is the purpose of these images?
There’s no fear, not even a tear
Stella’s puzzled by the projections
Can she decipher their significance
Assembling the pieces of a story
The horrible fate of a young girl
A wave of sadness passed over her
No child should ever have to suffer like this again!
Blue mist is fading, the nightmare is crumbling
Will they be freed, from their agony
Powers are draining, Nomarius waning
She’s lost it all, time for her downfall
Back in the desert, the sands have unfrozen
There is no time, she must be their guide
Desert is caving, the vortex is sucking
Darkness will fall, and the light shall rise
Stella and the Awakened watched in awe as the demon horde fell into the pull of the vortex. The dark winged beast spiraled down from the sky, crashing into the sand. It struggled to escape but before it could fly, its wings were sucked into the depths of the mist, dragging its body beneath the desert. The vortex closed, trapping the Beast in the abyss, or so it seemed…
