The Dark Prophecy

In a time when the realm turns dark

Hearts run cold

And hope runs dry

Murder shall claim the lives

Of important men from the South.

From the people long hidden

A boy shall come forth

Manifesting two gifts from the North.

He shall be lost

And then shall be found

As darkness spreads over the earth.

A caretaker shall raise him in love

Strengthen him and teach him

All that shall be required

For his learning and growth.

The caretaker shall dedicate her life

To this cause and no other

And in doing so shall find 

That those of small and simple means

Become great as the mighty mountains. 

Anger shall arise

From those who have dissented

Causing schemes and plots

To thwart the boy’s destiny.

Together a journey shall be taken

Trials and dangers faced

For increased knowledge must be gained. 

A union shall be made

To dissipate the dark covering the realm

When one rising from the dust shall return.

The older shall be reared by the younger

Who shall, in turn, rear him.

Those who seek their destruction

Shall be met with resistance.

A girl shall arise and challenge her father’s power

At a distant time and a crucial hour.

She shall be shielded for a time

And then show forth her strength

For a special purpose she has come.

Two brothers shall be revealed

They shall expose the head of the snake

Take its tail in their hands

And smite it against a rock.

The snake shall not die

But shall crawl in its den

Until it comes forth again.

The blackness shall surround

But not consume them 

As those who seek their destruction

Shall feel triumphant for the greater part.

A boy shall rise from tragedy

To enhance the power of the whole

And cause another great change to occur.

Quickly and unknowingly, the abyss shall open

Swallowing the darkness whole 

And cleansing the impure elements.

The death of the great leader

Aligned with the scheming dissenters

Shall be a testament to all

That the boy and the One has fulfilled

A destined purpose in the realm.

A book shall also come forth

From the forest ground in which it lays hidden

To give warning and direction to those who give heed.

In that tired day,

The dark shall be replaced by fire and ice

Until the realm is polished into a blinding gem.
