The Crimson Flabbergast
Location
If you should walk at night when
The Moon wears her charcoal mask
Hide under lamplight or you shall be
Snatched away by the Crimson Flabbergast
A wraith forged of screaming shadows
Its skin stained with past victims’ blood
It silently creeps from all around
Before it drags you through portal of mud
Once it drags you into its lair underneath
It binds you in ropes formed of victims’ hair
Onto its favorite leg-bone spit to spin over
A burning furnace with its flesh-rending pet hare
All hope may seem lost should it snatch you
Away to be chopped with its bronze knife
But should you wield these items three
You shall soon be free to live your life
The first must be the Lodestone
That releases a ray of shining blue
To cast upon its obsidian eyes
To blind it from seeing you
The second must be the Rope
Woven of maidens’ ruby hair
To fool the beast to only see
A slithering trail of blood there
The third must be the Blade
Born of an ancient fallen star
To stab the Flabbergast through the heart
Before digging up to the surface far
Now that you are free of its grasp
Be more prepared and beware
For there are more Flabbergast out there
Waiting to snatch you when you err
