Emerge of a Shadow

In Waterdeep's depths beneath the moon's gaze Aeric Barend and Vardas on their fateful craze Through winding streets and alleys deep To a monastery's halls their secrets to keep But shadows lurk in the heart's abyss As darkness descends with a chilling hiss Aeric's soul now a vessel for dread In the monastery's silence a cleric lies dead Within the walls where prayers once soared Now echoes of anguish a sinister chord Aeric consumed by a malevolent force A puppet of darkness on a remorseless course But shadows lurk in the heart's abyss As darkness descends with a chilling hiss Aeric's soul now a vessel for dread In the monastery's silence a cleric lies dead Barend and Vardas with hearts heavy with woe Confront the darkness that continues to grow But the entity's grip like chains of steel Binds Aeric's fate with a merciless zeal Through corridors dim where whispers conspire Aeric's eyes ablaze with unholy fire The monastery's sanctity now stained with blood As the dark entity claims its fatal flood But shadows lurk in the heart's abyss As darkness descends with a chilling hiss Aeric's soul now a vessel for dread In the monastery's silence a cleric lies dead But shadows lurk in the heart's abyss As darkness descends with a chilling hiss Aeric's soul now a vessel for dread In the monastery's silence a cleric lies dead A cleric lies dead The haunted one he faces his plight With courage to guide him through the night Aeric's quest a perilous path To confront his demons and the entity's wrath In Waterdeep's depths the story unfolds Aeric's journey brave and bold For within the shadows a spark of hope As he confronts his past and learns to cope
