Song of the Sword
322 Words
Song of the SwordIn Ki’s most sorrowful, desperate hour,
When all was lost to blight,
She sang her Song of Creation,
And enticed the Darkness to protect the Light.
.
Primordial Light, the architect,
Ki’s daughter, She-who-is,
Spun the darkness of He-who’s-not,
To create life, All-That-Is
.
But then one day, the sickness returned.
Moloch. Enemy of Ki.
The Evil One. The ex-husband spurned.
Collapse. Entropy.
.
He spread his evil throughout the worlds,
Undoing all in his path.
Devouring his own children,
To make Ki feel his wrath.
.
But He-who’s-not, the Guardian.
Lord Chaos. The Dark Lord.
Sang the Song of Destruction,
To protect the Light he adored.
.
She-who-is wept bitter tears,
To see her playthings broken,
The Dark Lord couldn't bear her grief,
And offered his mate a token.
.
To keep the balance so he could protect her,
They would play a game of chess.
She-who-is would create new pieces.
He-who’s-not would reclaim the rest.
.
But both must remain ever-vigilant,
Against Moloch’s eventual return,
He sends forth Agents to pave the way,
To escape the hell whence he burns.
.
When Moloch gains a foothold,
And desires to be fed,
She-who-is shall appoint a Chosen One
To warn of Moloch’s spread.
.
SHE shall send a winged Champion
A demi-god fair and just,
A Sword of the Gods to defend the people,
And raise armies from the dust.
.
As Moloch corrupts Agents to do his work,
So shall Ki appoint Watchmen to do HERS,
From the ashes of despair,
When all appears lost,
Hidden Agents shall choose to serve HER.
.
True love will inspire the Other One,
To pierce her heart upon a thorn,
And bring back hope where there is none.
For agape can access Ki’s Song.
.
When all the players have made their moves,
And the Morning Star shines bright,
He shall light the way through the darkest hour,
And restore the path of Light…
.
And if these measures should someday fail,
And Ki’s protections fall,
The Dark Lord shall seize his vessel,
And protect the Light by destroying them all.
