Tanindem and Ma'Ahar

This battle began, a long time ago. The land was pure darkness and evil Ruled by a giant named Ma'ahar Crimson eyes shone in the darkness- Upon his head sat immense black horns with daggers for ends. He lived upon blood spilled from the Earth's creatures In blackness he ruled from the beginning- Expecting his reign Never ending. On a dreary day, or maybe it was night One could never tell (in those times) Clouds parted, from the Heavens came a never before seen light- Instantly blinded, Ma'ahars' minions took flight- Underground... till this day where they are still bound. From this opening in the Heavens Came a huge rumbling (today known as thunder) And bolts of lightening, Which upon a massive herd of white beasts rode In their lead- was Tanindem. And a challenging bellow he bestowed Tanindem, a beast silvery white Huge in size, fearless to any spite A Unicorn, never before seen by those in the dark Upon his head he wore a horn of magic Boundless divine Magic created by the Heavens to battle the Mighty Ma'ahar and his Nefarious evil- To end the eternal night. Ma'ahar screamed his fury iron legs, split hooves digging up the earth He charged Tanindem with all the maniacal strength and hate He could forge Tanindem- sending his army to bring light to the rest of the world Lowered his his head- His horn of eternal purity ran to the charge. A calamity of two colossal beings Fighting for the win One of day. one of night. This battle began a long time ago. And has never finished. The two struggle to this very day- Which is why there is light and there is night. If this battle ever ends- Let's hope it is Tanindem who wins. Eternal night and despair Is all Ma'ahar has to share. ** Tanindem sent his army of Unicorns out upon the world to bring light to all places covered in darkness, which was every place. From then on, things grew. Plants, and animals. Eventually humans came upon the Earth. Only the very purest of humans may encounter Tenindem's messengers. The very first man of recorded history met a Unicorn. His name was Adam. 6th place in the "Fantasy" contest by Tirzah Conway A. Green
