Winter’s Gate, Pt. 6

Stumbling forward in knee deep snow
The wind is whipping
My face in frozen slashes

Void of direction void of hope
I call her name in the whiteout

There amidst the raging coldness
I catch her figure
The fear of death is staring
At me through her eyes

Through the wind’s howl a scream now rises
Something moves in the whirl of snow
Creatures born out of winter’s furor
Closing in on us!

Through the cave’s mouth
A crack in the stone wall i’m tearing my way
Right into the dark

A beast is rending the ground behind me
Killing all the light!

Hear the grinding of stone against stone
I’m crawling deeper in the dark
