A Parting of the Ways
To many, Shadowfire
A new home
Yet for a few,
Castle Heartstone
Was the place to be
Lost in mist and magic
Castle Heartstone will always remain
To some, a fond memory
To others, a source of anguish and pain
For some, wanted to return...
For a castle cannot be
Without King and a Queen
Without a Faerie,
or whispering tree
The kings of Air and Earth
The Queen of Summer and Spring
Each a Faerie ,they did bring
Heartstone Eagle too
For, on the backs of eagles
They would fly
To find Castle Heartstone
Bring it back
From when it was hidden from from view
Such excitement...
A little sadness and fear
For ,now they would only meet
In the Great Hall
For the Traditional Feast,
but once a year
A parting of the ways
Provisions were made
How soon passed the days
The last walk in the forest glade
Soon it was time to fly
To soar in a blue sky
To find a way
Find the stream of sighs
Tears were shed
Partings are always sad
Shadowfire had grown close to their hearts
The parting of the ways
This was the time too
To fly across a sea of blue
Thus, in a dawn of a pink sky
From the Sentinel Tower
Six eagles flew into the sky
Carrying with them
The thoughts, best wishes and love
of those far below
The eagles golden glow,
shining above
