The Coming of the Wraith King

Winter came
Crackling frost
The snow fell steadily
It was unusually bitter
No one felt cold like this before...
What could this mean?
Would  there be more?
 
The Whispering Trees,
felt the biting wind
Boughs broke
Branches cracked
Something was there,
in the cold air
 
Deepest, bitterest cold
Leaves shattered like glass
Trees shivering
The coming of the Wraith King
 
Knights defending
Faeries magicked
The Wraiths, defeated before
Now, they have a king
 
Deepest, bitterest cold
through the land
The Wraiths have a King
A battle in the making
 
Screeching and wailing
Wraiths flew across the Lands of Mists and Magic
At their head, a king
 
Trees splintered
Shrubs shattered
The earth split
The bitter cold
Brought by an Ice King
