The Askance Chapter 3 Part 5a
A Prophecy From Beyond
This night I strayed into a dream
It was unlike any other I’ve known
Nothing is an ever what it seem
To place a truth to believe what was shown
{There was blood dripping from the tip of my sword
My eyes were flaring as rich as the red
There was another, enclosing my soul away to rot
And soon to slumber I shall forever fade
My other hand held a cryptic bow I can only recognize
It belongs to none other but Alkaiya, the Mistress of War
And not far upon the ground, of death she dare defies
Soon, will her spirit be deserved in my sleep to recall!}
I awoke from the nightmare within my dream itself
Unable to accept the fate I’m engifted to witness
Can I begin to believe it a bad omen… nothing else?
With a future to forget entirely, the moment to nothingness
I haven’t realize as yet where I was then
Yet familiar was the unnatural ambience of the darken place
The stench of dead heaves heavily amongst the wasted land
Yet serenity was abound for I knew… Ei-rian I’m soon to face
Alkaiya was in deep meditation not too far away
Her overseer, the white owl was by her side as well
May the light of Erl-gria protect her mind from astray
And her burdened heart be rid of any sorrows she withheld
I was in the Chamber of Secrets all at once
Already, she was waiting for me by a candle’s flame
It was a sheer moment beyond ancient’s fate to chance
Of dying hopes withering since, as to see Ei-rian once again
“The forgotten was remembered, the lost was found
He who passes, the word of the Knight will bound
Time was written for humanities to walk through
For the hand turning the hourglass always knew
It's nay my bringing to have led you here this day
Purely yours, the circles of time had chosen to upturn this way
The disturbing dream enveloping your mind moments ago
Is to be a prophecy only in possibly yet an unknown morrow
It remains untrue, till your choosing to unfold its hidden fate
This dream you shall fathom before the unforgiving time awakes
Mayhaps it beholds a different predicament altogether
An unfelt message may yet cause a stir thereafter
Your troubled soul remembers still the fragileness of a mortal
Easily can it be poisoned by a mere touch of sorrow!
Another reason might be the warnings of being possess unwittedly
For to reach the forbidden gates, one must be pure through paths of uncertainty
The Heaori Chamber lies the only route through to the Temple of Erl-gria
The very chamber which once led to the downfall of Alkaiya
