One quiet night the lady traveled out beyond the 
monastery
Her quest was one of urgency and human preservation
She traveled with companions to reach the ruined city
Where lay the means to save her kind, a path to their 
salvation
once slept
And came upon a gateway, which was tightly closed and 
barred
A stark inscription warned them of the risk of their next 
step
But choices were no more; they had already come too far
