Sceaweres

Foundation.

Mixing Old English within the 21st Century.

Titul:

Sceaweres

(An all ana voice hwisprian's)


For although our pæþe 
Are divided by Wyrd

By The Great In-Betweonum
Also viewed as Destiny or Fate

By our Andsaca's

Enemies
Vultures and lions
Which Scyttan 

Hydan 
In The Great Ether

Restless
Unseen
And with great Hungor

Ravenous 

Just outside our Godcundlic Gates

Ours is a sacred Treowa 

One 
No fowl creatures knoweth

And which the vultures, lions and ravenous creatures: filled with Æfestig

And second eyes 
Grene
Hath seen

But we will be Sigefæst

So
"Hál wes þú or wes hál"
