Crimson Knight ~ Six

Crimson Knight ~ Six

"Crimson, love, it's been so long,"

His voice was smooth as slime

"Why would you stay away from me

For such a terribly long time?"

She laughed out loud, a silver bell

Within the sulphurs air

"Vetis, you fool! You're flattery's

Will not get you anywhere!"

At her back, her hemlock arrows

Flashed suddenly with light,

His black eyes shone, his smile wained,

"You have always thought your right,"

"Protecting all these silly fools

Guiding them through their fog,

Crimson, dear, have you not yet learned

To let go and let God?"

She took a step toward her foe

Smiling no longer

And as he shrunk away from her

She suddenly seemed stronger.

"God let them go centuries ago,

A condition of free will,

And now you use their ancient fears

And deny Her miracles?"

"You fool of fools, you impure beast,

Did you think I'd just stand by

While you poison hearts with silly myths

Just to watch them die?"

"Where's your army now, my friend

Why do you stand alone?

When with just a whispered breath I could

Defeat and take your throne?"

And now it was the demon's turn

To laugh a hearty laugh.

He turned from Crimson, daring her

By showing her his back.

When next he spoke his voice was soft

The charming Vetis, known

For all those years spent at his side

His Queen upon her throne.

"Once again you come to me

And dare to call me fool?

Know the hours at hand when I will rise

And in the daylight rule."

"These silly beings you insist

On defending for morel's sake

Refusing to choose either side

Will be your last mistake."
