Five new friends now fight united
Demons who this world have blighted
Faithful mentors they each left far behind
Now to rely on their own strength of mind
Traversing the desert by camel, wing and steed
They sought the truth could the golden long sword be freed?
Would it sunder the peace of the feline might
Or help close the gate to Gehenna's vile night
Delving in mystery slayer magic provided clues
The sword held within the table they need not disabuse
The true artifact's location they correctly surmised
Under a tidy shop, catacombs of doom were disguised
First slew they ghastly sentries upon the threshold
Then plunged into the dark tomb, the heroes so bold
Espying the sword of legends encased in a dark sphere
Above a fathomless pit of dank crypts reeking of fear
By reaching for the blade blessed with the sheen of sunlight
They awakened the vampire elders, prepared for a fight!
Attacking the first fiend with fire, the bright angel of doom
Sent the key pouch he valued plummeting into the gloom
The impulsive elf bard leapt in pursuit into the void
Leaving his brave but wise cohorts perhaps justly annoyed
Timith soon followed, his hands dealt such destruction
He staked the blood drinker without introduction
They captured the key, then sped toward their duty
Aeri whisked from his feet by a flying cat Beauty
Araki staked another, with a well targeted thrust
Zanakht's crossbow bolt pierced yet one more, it melted to dust
Jadea and Aeri loosed the golden sword of power
Tremendous the sun blade shone bright, fell creatures did cower
Shrieks could be heard for miles in the under ground vaults
Souls freed from dead flesh prisons, a grim kind of waltz
Holy daughter of Sekhmet now wields the sun's bold decree
That no darkness may o'er step the bounds so flamboyantly
Lest they feel these five Slayer's terrible wrath
And be sent back to Hell by the swiftest path
