Fortress of Doors
Floors of a chess pattern shape
Stretched for miles before her eye
The walls of bloodied, gray stone
Under a new and wicked sky
The sky did move unusually
In shades of green, purple and blue
It swirled, making her feel a little sick
As she walked into something new
The Rage Box misted in her eyes
'Causing a scream of pain
Her heart raced fast and cruel,
A forceful power she would gain
The card guards came from everywhere
She slashed the knife a little bit more
One and two, and through and through
The cards now laid dead on the floor
She ran past them through the blood
And found a ledge with levers of three
Cat had said, in a certain order
They must be pulled to set her free
She tried again and again
Until she got it right
The doors now lay open
In the hallway light
The chess floor guided her onward
Across the swirling sky
The card that guarded was slain
Before her emerald eye
She ran and ran through the hall
Until she found the portal
A mist of neon green, she walked through
Now returning to mere mortal
The chess floor shook
Then broke, moving up and down
She stepped on each plank carefully
The correct steps, she found
The painting above the entrance
Showed her gagged and bound
With a musket at her chin!
She shivered, but didn't make a sound
Through another portal
Boojums were there to greet her
With a dash of her toy cards
Flames emerged where they once were
The spinning doors opened
One holding the familiar green
She walked through onto stone
Hoping not to be seen
Two boojums and cards were near
As she ran through the stone way
One by one, she took them down
And left them where they lay
"Entering Skool requires a real leap of logic,"
Cat soon said with a mischievous grin
She jumped from the ledge to the door
Another task would soon begin
