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.
