Inferno IX (Treachery)

Ominous chords echo through the frosty air
A lone figure trudges through the frozen despair
The wind howls a dirge for the damned
As the Magus takes his final stand

Magus, cloaked in shadows, steps into the void
Ninth circle's embrace, a realm to be destroyed
Ice crackles beneath his feet, a deathly sound
Searching for knowledge that's eternally bound
Frozen wastes stretch far as the eye can see
A landscape of suffering and treachery

With every step, the cold bites deeper
In this realm where Satan is the keeper
But the Magus's will burns ever bright
Defying the eternal frozen night

Through the gates of Cocytus, where traitors dwell
Frozen souls scream silent in this icy hell
The forbidden tome calls, its power untold
In the depths of damnation, secrets unfold

Treacherous winds howl, cutting flesh to the bone
Betrayers entombed in glacial stone
Each step a battle against the numbing cold
The Magus presses on, defiant and bold
Faces of the damned peer from icy tombs
Their frozen screams echo impending doom

Lucifer's realm, a wasteland so bleak
Where even the devil's wings are weak
But in this desolation, dark magic thrives
The spellbook waits, promising countless lives

Frostbitten fingers reach for the cursed prize
Ancient words of power dance before his eyes
The price of knowledge, steep and grim
As the ice begins to close in on him
Whispers of the damned fill his mind
Tempting him to leave mortal realms behind

Through the gates of Cocytus, where traitors dwell
Frozen souls scream silent in this icy hell
The forbidden tome calls, its power untold
In the depths of damnation, secrets unfold

The book's dark aura pulses with might
Promising power beyond mortal sight
But as he grasps it, the ice starts to crack
The ninth circle fighting to hold him back

Arcane symbols burn through frozen air
The Magus chants with desperate prayer
Ice giants rise to bar his escape
Their frozen forms in demonic shape
He fights with spell and eldritch flame
To break free from this hellish game

The veil between worlds starts to tear
As he summons strength from sheer despair
One final push against the cold
To claim the secrets centuries old

Through the gates of Cocytus, where traitors dwell
Frozen souls scream silent in this icy hell
The forbidden tome calls, its power untold
In the depths of damnation, secrets unfold

Titans of frost rise from glacial tombs
Their eyes gleam with apocalyptic doom
The Magus stands, a speck before their might
His staff aglow with eldritch light

Colossal fists crash like avalanche
The Magus dodges, a desperate dance
His staff strikes back, arcane fire flows
But giant hands crush it like windblown snow

Weaponless now, he faces oblivion's call
Blood-streaked ice marks where he crawls
But fate smiles cruel - his fingers find
The cursed tome that haunted his mind

Power erupts, reality screams
As Hell itself tears at the seams
The Magus roars words not meant for mortal tongues
And all around him, the frozen waste is undone

Ice giants shatter, their forms explode
Into swirling mists as ancient spells corrode
The very fabric of the ninth circle's plane
Cracks like a mirror, never to be whole again

Victory's moment is fleeting and brief
As the world falls away like a withered leaf
The Magus plunges through void absolute
Clutching his prize, beyond all pursuit

Eternity passes in timeless descent
Until consciousness flares, reality bent
Eyelids flutter open to azure skies
In a sun-drenched meadow, the Magus lies

He rises, reborn, the tome in his grasp
Its power thrumming with each rasping gasp
Hell's secrets conquered, but at what cost?
For in gaining all, what has been lost?

The Magus stands, eyes blazing with newfound might
His fingers trace sigils that dim the sunlight
The spellbook opens, pages turning by spectral hands
As eldritch words spill forth to curse the lands

Mountains crumble, oceans boil and churn
The sky itself begins to burn
From cracks in reality, nightmares pour
Lovecraftian horrors ne'er seen before

Tentacled abominations stalk the earth
While winged terrors of ungodly birth
Blot out the sun with leathery wings
The air itself with madness rings
As sanity shatters and reason unstrings
Humanity cowers, their world undone
By one man's quest, now finally won
The Magus laughs, his voice now legion
As Hell itself spills into every region

The price of knowledge, oh so steep
As the world is plunged into chaos deep
The forbidden tome's power now unfurled
Unleashing damnation upon the world
