CHAPTER SIX
Dark Warrior an answer he did seek
Upon a horned horse, he reached the peak
He stood in Verna’s golden light
Biting wind carried his plight

Her soft whisper was in his ear
A new prophecy he did hear
—Warrior’s Lament; Kyia Kossi—Gods and Goddesses of the Archigos; Ykellen Gunn

Warriors and those few warriores
