Character:
As I open the fortress door
I am greeted by the wraith holding a lantern
The flame is blinding
He speaks…
Wraith:
"I see you've defeated the beast
Now comes your next trial”
Character:
He points towards the dark
Then suddenly, different colored eyes appear with no bodies
All I see is those haunting eyes locked with mine
He finishes,
Wraith:
"in order to move forward, you must face your inner scars
You must face las fantasmas”
Wraiths:
We are the ones who haunt you
Infecting your thoughts and mind
We will possess you
You shall be ours
Character:
I've never felt so afraid
As they start to surround me
Their presence is cold
Planning to capture my soul
I have no choice. I must fight again
I fear these evil eyes
They can try and take over me
But they won't reach my heart
Wraiths:
You won't defeat us
We are an ancient evil
Look inside of yourself
We are you
Character:
My body trembling
I feel the freezing in my blood
All in my own mind
These ghosts are that of my own
I feel them
Infecting my body and blood
They are me
I can feel their memories
I've tried to forget these things
They're showing me in my mind
I'm not evil
not a hideous creature
There's good inside me
There is love in my heart
Do your worst
Let the battle begin
They try and possess me
But my heart prevails
I rid all of their filth out of me
Leave this place
I see all their colored eyes
Disappearing through the walls
I turn to the owl and ask, 15
what happens now?
Owl:
You seem distraught
Why have you entered this place
The owl spoke once
Don’t bargain your own life
Don’t give into the wrath of temptation
The wraith will explain the rest
Only be patient
