The Binding Coil of Bahamut (PST)

We adventurers, eight so bright
So-called blessed heroes of the light
Gathered together for a quest.
With some banter and some jest
Entered to the unknown depths.

Slowly through did, we progress
A strange little ball, a bow suppressed
Traversing through a maze of crystals
Battling enemies by the fistful
To find an end, we are already wistful.

Alas, the end! Yet, we still expected a battle
There lain a serpent so large, we can barely handle.
Still, with a hack of an ax, the snake did become two
But soon thereafter, Caduceus the snake was slew.
We gathered our wits (and some of the treasure)
Then continued on, for our goal laid further.

Deeper and deeper onward we pressed,
But again and again, there laid a test.
A puzzling monster of blue and red!
We were given some choices on how to end.
Room after room, another enemy to attend
At the exit, one final foe to contend.

ADS so aptly named,
A Deary Sight! we all proclaimed.
Still, with some lasers carefully dodged
and some [blunt] arrows perfectly lodged
Success! With only a couple mechanics bodged.

The next stage offered us no break
A maze that gave us all heartache.
An order of platforms that were made to follow
A bunch of enemies, so hard to swallow.
And in the end, our victory so hollow.

Immediately starting another gauntlet to fight
There was not a single named monster in sight.
Still with some careful position
And some hard-earned attrition
Did we beat the chess (and dreadnaught) into submission.

Finally an end in sight!
The last level of the fight.
A Dragon of mythical proportions
Our wills only suffer some distortions
But a fight, our fight, we duly gave our portion.

The twisters came blindly.
More snakes, ugh, so spindly!
Still, with some of us charred
and the rest of us scarred.
We can only proclaim ‘This fight, why so hard!’

Soon the dragon lay grounded
With the stage, purple flames, surrounded
The final strike pushed through
The great dragon, Twintania, lay slew
With a triumphant cheer, did we bid her, adieu.

With many a pose, all over her nest.
Did we finally deserve some rest
One final picture of our group as a whole.
One final look, one final stroll.
One final cheer, as we reached the goal.

A journey so long ago with friends so close
A lasting bond that none can oppose.
But like all good things must come to an end
Great memories and people, we can still depend
For once and forever, we are truly friends.
