Forbidden spell

It came from darkness catching us off guard

With blinking swiftness, it clawed 2 of my friends

Giving no time to react it continued to attack with remarkable speed

Instinct becomes our savior as our remaining band of 6 enter the fray

With weapons in hand we fight our now visible foe

In front of me I see a towering shadow colored monster

Claws covered in the flesh blood of his recent victims

Eyes filled with madness and razor sharp fangs

With our strength diminish I sense death brewing

Facing dead allies and newly injured ones I steadied my resolve

Because to win, a forbidden spell had to be cast

An action only I could do with a burden only I could take...

I begin to chant the spell, my body glows and surrounds itself with a blue aura

Growing with intensity the further I chant, the air shivers

Halfway finish, both allies and foe alike turn to me unable to move

Fear rises from the unknown as they feel my power

WITH UNQUESTIONING RESOLVE, I SURRENDER MY COMPASSION

TO BRING FORTH THE GREATEST FEAR AND DESPAIR

SWALLOW MY FOE TO THE DEEPEST DEPTH

THE EMPTIEST AND COLDEST CORNER OF THE DEEP

WITH LONELINESS AS HIS ONLY COMPANION AND DEATH AS HIS SAVIOR

SHATTERING A PIECE OF MY BEING AS I CONDEMN HIS FATE

I CAST SWALLOWING OCEAN

It breaks from the shackles impose by fear and tries to finish me

But it’s too late, the spell has been cast and as the last words escape my mouth

I raise my staff as water gushes from it, surrounding and encasing the monster

In a sphere made from water it falls to the ground and like a rain drop it disappears

Causing a momentary ripple in the ground as the spell sends it to a dimension

Where it will stay even when it succumbs to death
