The Archangel Raphael showed unto me;
He came from Heaven, and his words be:
Go forth, man of the Divine's choosing;
Tread unto the damned King's dwelling.
. . .
. . .
Abandon your worries, have no fear,
Bid your farewell to your lovely dear.
For tonight you venture into the darkness,
Where nameless horrors and tortures you'll witness.
. . .
. . .
I, the Archangel, shall grant you my gifts;
To see through the dark, as light through mists.
Take this sword, of steel and Heavenly fire;
It will cut your enemies, no matter how dire.
. . .
. . .
To you I grant this Angelic shield,
A silver barrier only you could wield.
It will grant protection from the fires of Hell;
It will guard you from the evils that in shadows dwell.
. . .
. . .
I give unto you the Gauntlet of Heaven;
Crafted by the greatest of the Angelic brethren.
Take the Belt of Strength and wrap it around your waist;
It will grant the you the power you need to make haste.
. . .
. . .
The Helm and the Breastplate are yours to keep;
They will make even the vilest creatures in fear weep.
The Angel's Halo is the last of the gifts I'll give;
It will grant you the light to arrive and leave.
. . .
. . .
All these I grant unto you, my blessed warrior;
Heavenly gifts in exchange for a Heavenly favor.
All that I ask is that you banish the Demon King;
For Asmodeus desires the rise of Hell's Second Ring.
. . .
. . .
This is not a challenge, nor is it just a game;
For it will grant you peace and blessing beyond riches and fame.
This is the Quest, handed down by the Divine;
This is the journey that will ensure the safety of mankind.
. . .
. . .
The Divine Quest;
