While wondering through the trees
She called my name with her ancient song
Lulling the anxiety
I became immersed in the thrall
She led me through the forest
Deep within her keep
The guardians of this ancient realm
Spoke these words to me
BEWARE!
Mankind shall not set foot in here
The organic temple of the holy grove
Sanctuary of the guardians
The temple held a jewel
Of a fascinating glow
By its presence I was lured
And in the night the jewel I stole
In that very moment
The guardians awakened from their sleep
Taking the form of an obscure beast
They spoke these words to me
You foolish man, thought you could get away
Taking the jewel was a grave mistake
As punishment for your wretched soul
You’ll become a beast and this land you shall roam
The transformation has begun
And the pain I cannot bare
My bones twist and form
And I smell blood in the air
My hunger grows inside
As this curse now takes its toll
My conscious slips away
As I begin to lose control
