Prayer: Geldazar

Please, I ask you again, what do you want me to do? Hot crimson stains on a sacrificial lamb's throat. Will you give me the strength to help my friends? The twisting vine bleeds into the many mouths of the hunter. How can we possibly survive the blade of this sword master? The blood of the world cuts through mountains. And how can we stop this war between Alkhara and Lionne? The broken bones of the moon heal with the tidal marrow. You speak in so many riddles, why do you not tell me clearly? Ruby red wine filling the skull. I did not ask for this, why did you lead me here? Why did you not leave me in peace at the abbey? Ruby red wine emptying the skull. I cannot save my friends, I am not strong enough. You do nothing, you let the good and evil of this world bleed and die alike. You care not for true suffering. You are nothing but a mad hermit's mystery. And now you have led me to a violent death. Are we to be blood offerings to your dark greed? Was my faith nothing but a lie, a fevered dying delusion of a diseased wretch? Why do I pray to you?



Yes, I see now. Please forgive me. You spoke clearly all along. And like a fool with fingers in its ears, I listened not.

Come and see.

Yes, please show me. I surrender to you. Let me be your oracle. Show me. I am ready to see. I will look. I will be your servant. Let the world see your wonder through me.

A heartbeat is more powerful than the breath of the sun, all the lights in the night sky, the surge and storm of the ocean's rage, and all the world's mountains, hills, valleys, and plains.
