it unlocks many cool features!
- And so reads the paper:
- O, how the heart aches
- O, how the mind quakes
- Thee, who bears
- So soothe thy nightmares
- T'is prophecy which stands afore in everlasting ink,
- Who speaks of time of gold brought to ruin,
- Rise up o champion, for present champion falls, and sets the wheels in motion.
- Yet thou ist not chosen, for thous't lack the key.
- Four stand afore, with two at the sides,
- And innumerable uncertain allies all around.
- The greatest burden is yours.
- Four worlds drawn together, four cardinals flutt'ring free,
- Each with wings pure as soul, yet unknowingly blessed by fate.
- The first champion found in sunrise, birth'd of a champion upon said rising sun,
- With no cradle for life and yet profound reverence for it.
- Rise up so high she shall, carried on the wings of the time of gold,
- Only to find the golden light hath torn her wings and let her fall.
- In this greatest hour, this first shall never believe her footing.
- Shoulders stand firmly fixed, but she shall believe them half their worth.
- O, first borne chosen, thine pure tears of divine fall silent.
- Silent and pure, like the sanguine drips of the same.
- You shall know death, for it is all around you.
- And yet...Thou shall create death so only to prevent it.
- This shall be your greatest burden.
- O second chosen, thou'st know the pain of the first.
- Ever searching, thine bearer of great magics,
- These and more flow from thine heart.
- None greater at understanding,
- None greater at compassion,
- None greater at sadness,
- Thine ist second chosen, borne of legends long lost.
- You shall know death, and it shall destroy you.
- Death itself shall be that which weighs most heavily upon you.
- Death itself, your greatest burden.
- Never to know thine great importance, and yet,
- The second chosen shall choose the third.
- And O! Ye second chosen shall choose,
- And such third chosen will be a grand foil,
- But great champions forge great bonds, and thine unbreakable.
- A burning desire,
- A burning fury,
- A burning longing,
- Thou'st the third, knowing once more the pain of the first and indeed the second,
- And it shall be the only pain you know,
- For all else will crumble from your plumage like ash.
- But in this loss thou shall find comfort, like honey and slufer,
- Both shall leave no taste, for yours is a mind anew.
- Thou'st been cradled by death, and death does cradle you,
- It nurtures, yet you forget yourself in its chilling grasp.
- It shall become the greatest burden in simplicity,
- That your burdens cannot last, lest they crush your heart,
- And you may erupt into great violence and lose yourself.
- You shall know death, and after death you will know nothing but death.
- Thou'st been chosen, but thou'st died.
- And so the world asks:
- Why?
- Whyfore hast thou passed before the time of greatest destiny?
- Why, when thou'st bear the choice of the second, hast thou died?
- It is only through the choice of the second that you do live.
- The time shall come where you are needed...
- But even divination,
- Even prophecy,
- Even sight of the future knows not what blurred lines hide thine heart.
- Shall you watch the world burn, or perhaps yourself burn?
- Will you ease the world's greatest burden?
- Thou'st already died, so burdens of others you may not bear.
- And so ye fourth,
- Like the third, thou knows death.
- So many moons ago did thou kiss death's cold cheek.
- Thou knows the same pain as those afore,
- Thou knows death.
- The world afore you gone,
- The world anew lay afore.
- It shall not be the first chosen,
- But it shall be one who shares the celestial name,
- That shepherds you away from death's embrace.
- Watched by Light and held by Dawn, thou'st known ultimate mercy.
- One thousand early breaths soothe your rest,
- But a greater calling pulls you to where Light has left her mark,
- Mark'd by Light and watched by Dawn, it is your touch,
- O, fourth chosen, it is your touch that will summon great magics.
- Thou is without a great burden, and so thou is the key.
- But thou cannot cure this burden alone.
- No chosen can.
- O, four chosen, thou know not who you are.
- Thou shall not be summon'd of accords within one's self,
- But rather guided by the one who believes.
- Believe, chosen. For she believes.
- And it is she who listens for these words.
