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
