Jar of Hearts: An Anthology

The Divine Quest

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.

. . .
