The Mage

In the sweltering streets of Kae Ychel
A young apprentice dreams of glory's gaze
Ancient spell from family tomes so deep
To win the kings boon secrets he would keep

Ignoring the dread in his ear
He casts the ritual unleashing fear
A demon summoned in a fiery storm
Killing classmates Bruelos lost in the swarm
Regent intervenes with divine might
Binds the beast in his heart, eternal night
Burning in torment punishment so grim
Six years in dungeon guilt consuming him

Haunted by the dead
Screams in his mind
Mercy a boon unkind
Declared a mage but banished from the gate
Pilgrimage awaits to seal his fate

Hubris of the mage flames in his chest
Arrogance unbound failed the ultimate test
Demon sealed within atonement's cruel call
To the Cave Beyond Time rise or fall
Bound by divine thread can't return til done
A life conditional under twin suns
Heart of molten fury, veins aflame

Quest for banishment, to cleanse his name
Perilous path through endless night and pain
Earn back existence in redemption's light
Perilous path through pain and endless night

Haunted by the dead
Screams in his mind
Mercy a boon unkind
Declared a mage but banished from the gate
Pilgrimage awaits to seal his fate
Haunted by dead
The screams in his mind
Mercy a boon unkind
