The Askance Chapter 3 Part 4b
Is one to remember what remains no more a memory?
An afterlife beyond eternal damnation, forgotten entirely
In my mind, burns a question of which beheld no answers
And staring off to the distance, I’m to simply wait on forever}
As then, Alkaiya spoke,
“There isn’t time dawning a morrow’s day
There isn’t a road where was taken nay
Time is of sins, yet only to ignore
What be our sleepless dreams, can one truly adore?
The hour of darkness beckons a returning light
Mayhaps only us can bring forth to wondrous sight
The ground stains the blood of our brethren
From whence together we fought till souls were left abandon
We may forget ourselves time after time
Yet we mustn’t forsake those to be honoured behind
The Darklord Alkzadrius has long since known of my existence
Yet your return to The Ancients, to him rings unheard and in silence
Thus far for several hundred years, his wrath I’m able to survive
Though of death I closely came upon in battles, to near lose my life
Since my escape was whence the hunt for me they began to seek
Of minions I warn, we’ll nay to undermine to be presumably weak
From my overseer came whispers to me of the minions’ task
Feared by what lies forbidden, it will hunt even if eternity shall come to past
‘Be weary of the Black Stallion there gallops into the night
Cries of the Leech-King will echo and death shall come by sight’
He who doesn’t believe, is never in purity to understand
And death indeed will open its door, before battle wills to hand
We are to leave soon before the thundering of the Leech-King be heard
Had since your return, we must seek our fate through the Goddess of Word
Within the forbidden Temple of Erl-gria is where she belongs
And make haste we must, to this place where we first were born
She be the one, will decide our destinies aforth
As well for your path toward uncertainties, she will aid to solve
Yet… the word of the Goddess is barely but a whisper
Words embracing a meaning depthless for our endeavour
Our road is still afar and along lies danger we are to overcome?
Indeed, now draws a time when a proven worth shall come undone
We shall travel lightly burden and silent as the loneliest shadow
And to leave no trails behind for the impudent minions to follow
May the spirits of Erl-gria we can rely upon for immerse power!
Let there be a light to shine through always, beyond our darkest hour”
