The Lost Jewel

Amongst the filthy rags Of the wraiths’ fleeing What they left behind A soft glowing could be seen A lost Shadowfire Whose could it be? What does it mean? Lost jewel in the forest of green That wraiths had in their possession Something of extraordinary beauty Piercing cry from the eagle above I looked upward And knew What I had in my hand Must be given The eagle turned to the west It had led me here I felt in my heart What was true What was best That Moondust and I Must carry the Shadowfire To a new land
