The Askance Chapter 3 Part 5b
How is one to passage through shall misfortune nay take root?
Is beyond my knowledge for never once within had I sat foot
It is the will of the Goddess Word, to be cursed and to be purified
To be worthy the Champions of light, in honour and in pride
You must seek the way with faith here on forth
Do not be troubled, should you find the confusion of being lost
It belongs my gift to you, that of these words and this time
As well an amulet, imbued with its bearer you will find
Let my love be the symbol for all your dreams
May I be your comfort always with our love unseen”
Remains difficult still, to be parting ways with her
With the amulet across my neck, I discreetly left
A hidden love yet as tender and as clear
The many reasons to ignore a time since we theft!
Alkaiya and I, began our ways without spoken a word
Perhaps she senses my need to feel in place
Should my dream I relate for her be heard?
Or is this battle I’m to be the only one to face?
She looks to be calmed and determine
Guiding the way forward in careless breath
Yet behind the thinnest of veil is deceiving
Might one be in acceptance already to welcome death?
Already, it appears to be a while
The enchantment was wearing away since evoke
Seen near as thought far, this endless mile
The longest of silence till finally she spoke…
“I was in anguish for the longest of time
The darkest of dream to never have lights to shine
It was a battle’s cause, which separated our paths
The fiercest of many battles fought for twilight to even outlast
For you see, as one we need never fear what lies afore
Yet as individuals, our strength will be weaken henceforth
We were blinded and misguided by the DarkLord’s spell
Of shadows in darkness in an unseen veil whence befell
Further and further we drifted unknowingly apart
And into the face of defeat I soon realise, upon my lost in ark
Forced into hopelessness, I ran into what seem like a chamber
And turning to make my last stand, I saw the minions daring nay to enter
Mayhaps this be of holy ground I’ve come to stumble upon
Indeed this be the place I’m to seek refuge further beyond
Striding in darkness into the heart of the chamber within
I felt lurking spirits alike those of broken dreams
And aimlessly I wandered, till finally I came to a candlelit room
Where placed at the center, was an ageless undisturbed tomb
Where dust weaver from a simple touch, I felt a stricken grief
Then into slumber I fell where a nameless spirit I receive
