...and then the wanderer spoke.
3.
A door was made in search of everlasting peace But all they found was a world full of Cockatrice Try as they might, couldn't make a door to heaven Wizards of the order, now two once eleven They went on a journey after creating the torch Blind by their creation, they knew some things were worse They knew the creatures power stemmed from sight What could a monster hunt if it were blind? Now Aarik and Lance hang with neanderthals Teaching them things like cooking and building walls They knew not yet the queen of the cockatrice. Constance of Gemlor, was now a solitary beast Spurred by the death of nearly of mankind Aarik continued searching for the afterlife He found magic he thought would link him to God A link to Constance was not what he sought Then Aarik wanted to bring the world to an end If Constance were freed, perhaps this would happen
4.
Surely God would show himself then... After hearing his words, Matricia knew the wanderers name Before he could cast a spell, she cut him down with her blade (Now Aarik and Lance hang with neanderthals Teaching them things like cooking and building walls)

So few now stand with me adrift is the trust of some, the souls of most I feel I've lost everything I've no more use for this torch Madricia, I've unleashed a devil A devil I cannot chase It'd be the end of me should we come face-to-face Now, back here in Evely All who were once close to me Now question my sanity Except the lovely Madricia I've unleashed a devil A devil I cannot chase It'd be the end of me Should we come face to face I've unleashed a devil....
6.
Do you deserve to die, Markus our king? Was their lives worth what you bring? You're unfit to roam these castle halls Unfit to live within these walls Markus time to try to get back down to earth Sail on, Monster, back to earth Take her, she's willing, for what it's worth compensation for your decent years Markus time to try to get back down to earth You'll quickly die on the journey without anything to eat or drink You should have never come back Take with you what's in your bag Markus time to try to get back down to earth
7.
Did we survive the journey Or is this our souls dreaming?

What a wonderful day out here in the sun In our new concrete home There's no place I'd rather be Than here with you down by the sea On the outskirts of Gillian A kingdom where so few have been Oh my sweet, sweet Stevia It's like it's just you and me Come on come on come on Let's see the stars I just want to hold you in my arms Come on come on come on Swordsmith of my dreams Let's picnic down by the stream The swords you make with your bare hands The sharpest steal in all the land but I know, knowing you like I do They're not the most impressive thing about you Come on come on come on Lay down with me No treasure can compare in Evely To this life down by the sea There it's like it's just you and me. Come on

All our friends are dead I'm sorry, Gillian I did this Now I witness A world done in by constance I know now that I can't live in a world crumbled by my own actions. Should it take one thousand years, I'll live to see this deed undone And I hate to speak these words, But was Aarik was right? Constance means the world's end Is Constance the wrath of God's might? No, I did this. we've set sail In Evely we'll meet Constance Dread thickens in me as we near As her voice grows louder in my ear.
11.
Why'd you look? You knew what the devil could do Though blind, should I have known? Could I have stopped you? What are we to do now? What will become Of my love? Madricia My love You put my loyalty to the test Madricia My love Yes, I'll grant your last request Madricia My love Our life had just begun Madricia My love May your light brighten the sun
12.
No one else knows of your wonder. And soon I will surely die. So though I can't see the words I'll write till the devil claims my life
13.
No malice beared For I'm absent of intent. A craving has encompassed my mind No action comes with thought. I feel the dark torch drawing nearer. I sensed it in Gillian, but I feel it now. I close my eyes to it A visceral response. I'm outside myself While the Dark Torch's warmth turns torrid I feel a blade puncture as no blade should It releases me from id I reward my killer with a glance but as I feel myself fade I'm not relieved and I'm not afraid. I just am. I am. I.
14.
Rest, dear friend. You will be missed. Be with your love, Markus Of evely. Our king. May you at last find your peace.
