Act 6: House Of Lords: Oshimiri Atata By NVMELESS HELLER

As I journey through the valley of the shadow of death
I see despair among souls trapped, grasping for fresh air
The morning star leads me to a place unknown
The reaper closing in, fear crackling through my bones

A loud voice within says, "Stop, fear not, ask for what he seeks"
The reaper approaches: I stand my ground and speak
"For who is it that you seek?" I demand to know
The reaper bellows, then vanishes into the mist's flow

The stars blink above as I move ahead
Past bloody gallows set for nihilists, long dead
I hear chants of rage
A generation of young bloods, screaming of a new age

"I'm an anarchist!" they yell with rambling fury
Above them, a banner with a message for the jury
"An idle mind is the devil's playground," it proclaims
And I move forward before they turn savage and maim

Years later on this odyssey, I find myself at a city called Crooked Escape
Where every step must be taken with caution and grace
At the gates, a man blocks my path, clutching a case that glows
"Beware the souls who crave its light," he warns

"It tempts the weak to ruin, twists the strong into thieves
Captures addicts and fallen angels in its tangled schemes
But hold it close, for within lies a hidden key
To discern the snakes and serpents, the false from the truly free
The House of Lords awaits for you
For they sent you on this journey so you can construe
Where faith and power converge
The fakes will pursue like jackals, the great ones will guide your steps”

Moving through the twisted streets of the city, hands reach for the case
I turn to watch I see a zombie like feature staring at the case
It felt like time stopped as I ran through the streets like coiled vipers
Until a weary elder stops me, his gaze piercing mine as his eyes grew wider
He took me into a house and said "

Look below for the basement’s doorway reveals the path you seek
I’ll hold them back, though centuries have left me weak
I lost my case to the wicked, and now I’m bound in chains
You carry the light to break them, so go! For The night reclaims”

I open the door
Like Peacemaker’s portal, through the void I go
I emerge in a land so lush, with endless shores and birds singing hymns untold
