Descent

Shadow's step fell on the dusty rooftop
 Angelic ease with demon's fierceness
 Hunter leaves his prey without any hope
 And no one has ever escaped his clutches
 Hero spots the target's house
 And leaps to balcony beside
 The window's locked, he breaks inside
 Shuttered glass cuts air like a bullet's flight
 No signs of prey around the house
 It seemed abandoned at first glance
 Nothing caught the hero's eye
 Except for bookshelf plunged in dust
 All books seemed untouched apart from just one
 Its spine was rubbed with cracks on both sides
 Mystic symbol was engraved on one part
 Thorny "R" was casting glitter in the darkness
 Seth reached out to soiled shelf
 And, when touched, book moved itself
 A secret passage was unveiled
 That to morose staircase led
 No second thought, no hesitation
 Hero stepped in the unknown
 One fears not the violation
 Whose thoughts from violence are drawn
 Ghostly shadows lurked in darkness
 Unbroken, Seth moved on
 And soon he saw the clearance,
 A glimpse of light
 From the open door
 Seth walked in on someone
 Who was conjuring
 And performing
 Some sort of ritual
 Figure turned its head
 And stared right into Seth's soul
 As if he had known
 That wolf would come to raze swine's little home
 Seth pulled out his sword
 Performing deadly swings, but
 His foe dodged attacks
 And knocked sword out of his hand
 Seth has lost his stance
 Rival's iron claws locked tight around his neck
 Tight grip pierced like poisoned lance
 But not yielding
 Seth grabbed ashtray and cracked his skull
 Scarlet blood splashed out on curtains
 Like artist's paint bizarre
 Seth rose and looked around him
 Observing this grim sight
 That ritual he witnessed
 Raised questions in his mind
 He gave himself a promise
 To solve the riddle dire
