Swallowed up by sin; I can't seem to sink or swim. Stuck somewhere in the in-between; I'm finding it harder to breathe. I feel the cold clog my veins in this lake of ice. Sink down until I hit the floor. I'd call out for help, but I fear I'd be doing wrong. Bury yourself deep within the pain; no one needs to see who I am again. 'Cause all it does is bring the world disdain. Burdens weigh my feet as I sink like an anchor to a chain, like an anchor to a chain. My sins weigh me down like a cross upon my back. Every hour passing by, puts me further in my mind. How am I meant to survive when I feel barely alive? The cold seeps deep into my bones, I just want to feel at home. My burdens weigh my feet as I sink, like an anchor to a chain. How am I meant to survive, when I feel barely alive? Breath in and let three breaths out, like the ocean tide, it comes in waves of doubt. Let three out; make me feel alive. The wings I bare have weighed me down. I can reclaim my life, but I’ll never feel alive. In Lore: The Trinity make their way to the Lake of Cocytus, where a great battle rages between the army of Asmodeus and another demonic faction. Stepping forward into No Man’s Land, the Trinity wade their way through the warzone to the edge of the lake, where they are separated in the chaos of the combat. Dazed and shell shocked from incoming bombardment, Rachel staggers towards the centre of the lake, fear running through her veins. The Ronin, fully engaged in combat with demonic forces, calls out to her to stop, but she’s hit with a second bombardment, breaking the ice beneath her, and the Ronin and the Queen and only watch helplessly as she sinks into the lake. As Rachel sinks, her anxieties and fears begin to escalate; cold water fills her lungs as she apathetically struggles to make her way back to the surface, somewhat believing that her own internal torment is what’s weighing her down. As she sinks further to the bottom, slowly losing consciousness, she sees Pandora’s Box, and swims over to it with the intention that when the others find her body, at least they’ll find the device that they need. Wrapping her arms around the Box as she fades into oblivion, she spots a splash from above, and the Ronin swims down to save her, dragging both her and the Box back to the surface. Clara drags them both from the lake, and the Trinity continue crossing the lake, heading towards a modernised reconstruction of the Tower of Babel. Meanwhile, the Two Keepers inspect the hole in Cocytus that Rōnin and Rachel emerged from, using sonar binoculars to see if Pandora’s Box has been taken or not. They have a short squabble, but finally agree that the Box has been taken, and they realise that they’ll be doing a dimensional jump ritual involving the heart of Asmodeus, and they continue on to the Tower to stop them. – – – Follow The Gloom In The Corner on social media: Facebook: Instagram: @thegloominthecornvr Twitter:
