The Dark Tower
Joseph Vargo
No one is certain how long the dark tower has stood.
It is said to have been built upon unholy ground,
And thus cursed before even the first stone was set.
It is believed to be a place of great evil,
Haunted by dark angels and spirits of the restless dead.
Legends say the tower was once the ancient fortress of the dark queen, mara, and her infernal legions.
Other tales tell of a warrior knight-once a man,
But now an immortal creature of darkness-
Who stands vigil over the fallen queen's tomb.
Noctem aeternus-the curse of eternal night.
'tis said to befall those who venture there,
Yet the lure of the dark beckons mortals into the abyss,
Where their tragic fates intertwine,
Deep within the shadows of the dark tower.
