The dark gate

A dark gate magic, so ancient and grand

A portal to secrets, no mortal can withstand

A power so great, it warps time and space

A force so potent, it can alter one's fate

Through the gate, shadows dance and swirl

As the magic takes hold, the world begins to twirl

The air crackles with energy, the ground begins to shake

As the dark gate magic, begins to awaken

But beware, oh traveler, who seeks to pass

For the price of entry, may be your own life at last

The dark gate demands a sacrifice, a gift from within

A piece of your soul, to let the magic begin

So if you dare, and you choose to go

Step through the gate, and let the magic flow

But be warned, for once you cross that threshold

There may be no turning back, and your fate will be sold.
