| Finally finished it... sorry for the long-ish wait. Was busy getting my hero to 130 :D Post what you think! I appreciate all types of feedback. Oh! I've changed a part in chapter 1. Instead of telling him to go see Minerva, his grandfather told him to go see Grendel. Enjoy! : ) Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3: Prophecies and Magic When all is silent, dead and cold When monsters stir and fires burn A tragic story doth unfold Beware; The Dark One hath returned Far below the souls of metal Where dark and evil creatures lie Through brush and bramble, trees and nettle Make your way through absent sky Steel your mind, look straight ahead Do not falter, pause, delay Pay no heed to those long dead The fire inside shall light the way From the North seek those with strength With muscle, sinew, tissue, bones Though the journey be of length They shall topple blackened thrones In the East look to the trees Where a silent magic brews When intellect holds all the keys Wisdom of the mind ensues In the West where shadows reign Live those who steal and swipe You must enter their domain Under cloaking of the night Of Southern folk one thing is sure With steadfast aim and sight Their hearts are truest, loyal and pure Seek their aid to end your plight When dark abides and light reveals A broken land; soaked in tears Only one with blood of steel Shall break the night and end all fears Nick wiped the sweat from his forehead as he knelt to examine a bent twig on the ground.
