Serpents interest

Monsters gather waiting to kill

Hoping I slip and blood to spill

Eyes like blood, skin of shadow

With no other option i look out the window

A window of glass that isnt to break

Yet in a few seconds ill make a mistake

I look at a shadow that covers the light

A monster with tentacles enters my sight

Grabs me and asks if im the one

I say i guess and in darkness i plunge

I awake in a room infinite and abyss

I hear foot steps which i almost miss

I rush at the creeper and it moves out of the way

Its always constantly moving and doesnt stay

Then i count the seconds until it loops

Wait til it returns and i dont stoop

I hear it scream as im tossed back down

A pillar with an orb appears from the ground

I touch the orb and the moster i see

Walking like a vulture encircling me

Im about to lose hope when an idea forms in my head

I slowely drop to the ground and act as though im dead

I wait for minutes and the monster gives in

It drags me to a pile of bodies, bloody and thin

A new pillar appears one that will end

I take out the orb and notice a bend

The bend is in the monsters head

My exit from this puzzle is in bed

Then all of a sudden its all going wrong

A eyeless serpent whose teeth look strong

It hisses and starts to look real mean

Then all of a sudden im saved by a scream

The serpents interest switches from me

Oh the poor sap who dying from need

I hear the silence and then i proceed

I place the orb in the monster who isnt to breed

All of a sudden im in a new place

I See a painting and get a sword to the face

The holder of that blade will soon be my friend

We fight for freedom and i dont suspend

He offers no gratitude until i do spare

I give him his life and show that i care
