Quinn Chapman and the Altar of Evil I

Quinn Chapman and the Altar of Evil The flames of Hades flickered off the rough hewn walls of the cavern as I stumbled my way deeper into the earthen maw. Acrid, black smoke invaded my eyes, blurring my vision and clouding my lungs. Dark voices shouted in a rhythmic chant somewhere beyond the hall of fire through which I now walked. My body was cut and bruised; my clothes turned to rags barely clinging to my sweat glistened flesh.  What maligned road led me to my current state of depravity? My mind flickered back to that fateful day in the warrens of Singapore, to one of the myriad of seedy opium dens lining the alleys. It was there that I found the remnants of the infamous Anglo explorer Sir Percival Covington.  I pushed back the shoddy veil of the curtain to find Sir Percival upon his back, clad in sweat-stained khaki and a weeks' worth of grime. So much for the hero of the British Empire. His glazed eyes alighted upon me, and a flicker of recognition danced across his ruddy face

Earth Poem from theProse

EARTH 

Oroboros

Death

Water tears away at her,

Ceaseless in its fury.

Wind winnows at her back,

Heedless in its erosion.

Fire burns beneath her skin,

Reckless in its destruction.

Rebirth

Water pulses through her,

Building new veins.

Wind weaves over her,

Winding new paths.

Fire heals old wounds,

Melding the rifts.

Life

She is Ouroboros

She is Earth
