LEAFBUTTERFLY - The Lord of Chaos

lyrics

The memory of death was like a dream. We had all been killed but something magical had brought the four of us back to life: Hulk, Sonja, Gothmog and Chani. Once again we had to challenge the Lord of Chaos and his terrible underground labyrinth... This cursed dungeon was full of pitfalls: cruel monsters emerging from the shadows, deadly traps at every corner, puzzles that could drive you crazy and trap you forever in the darkness. Food and water were scarce and had to be dosed with care, so even time was running out.

But finally we were able - after a thousand ups and downs - to get our hands on the final weapon: the Firestaff! The guardstone golems had been tough opponents, but they were quite slow, and after destroying a couple of them, we were able to outflank them and escape with the precious artifact.

Thus it was that, going down to the penultimate level of the dungeon, we had finally encountered the terrible Lord of Chaos and the powerful fire demons that served him. We thought he would dissolve once he attacked with the Firestaff but to our horror we found that the weapon did not work. The Firestaff had to be strengthened, joining it to a magical gem and casting the mysterious spell written on the parchment that we had found while exploring some hidden corners of the dungeon. Three syllables, three magical sounds: “Zo Kath Ra”.

The Lord of Chaos was therefore still invulnerable to our weapons and nearly killed us with his spells. We were tempted to go back, escape from this place but the road back into the bowels of the earth would have been too long. Food was in short supply.

Only the last level of the dungeon remained unexplored: we heard sounds coming from there that made our blood freeze in our veins. Footsteps as heavy as boulders. Obscene roars that made one think of the most fearsome of creatures. We had found the key that opened the passage, it was the only way we could still beat. We plucked up courage and went on ...
