The Game - Part 4

The passage that Marcus had directed me to made me want to learn more about the author and his works.  I spent some time in town at a small internet café doing some research and forming a ‘game plan’. 

With an idea in mind, I went to the Acropolis and pulled out my sketchpad to draw for a while and admire the view.

It took a while to write his letter.  I wrote and re-wrote it a few times before I was happy with it.  When it was finally complete, I made my way to our secret place and left the items for him.

Dear Master Marcus: 

Merci beaucoup for Dante and the blossom, cher.  The flower sits in my room and Dante was inspiring.  I even sat myself down in front of a computer today and did a little research.  Here are your gifts:

First, I was quite taken by the inscription on the door of the ninth gate.  So, I tried out my best calligraphy for you on one of the sheets attached.

"Through me the way into the suffering city,
Through me the way to the eternal pain,
Through me the way that runs among the lost.
Justice urged on my high artificer;
My maker was divine authority,
The highest wisdom, and the primal love.
Before me nothing but eternal things were made,
And I endure eternally.
Abandon every hope, ye who enter here."

Second, while I was on that computer earlier I came across this site that asks you some questions and tells you which level of hell you’ll end up in.  Apparently I’m in level 2, but you’ll have to discover what that mean for yourself.

Which level will you end up in?

And finally, your sketch.  Considerin’ it was Dante and dealing with heaven and hell, I thought you might like your own fallen angel.

I do hope you enjoy this round.  Next ones on you and I can’t wait to see what you come up with…

Love,

Sera
