From Lehrinas,
Prophecies, Chapter 25, Verse 1-19 (unfinished),
as translated from high Tsol'aa by Corrin Melithandes
The tide recedes, the centuries pass,
The young grow old, time forgets.
Silence listens, dark creates.
The world itself's a looking glass,
The numbers break from finite sets.
Chance and will battle fate.
The dark tide rises once again to slaughter all
who dream of light
And saints and sinners join their friends to
war again against the night
And Seleucar's redemption comes to those who
fight the holy fight
And all shall pay the freight of death to match
their sins, however slight.
The wave of dark shall strike again, and all
shall bow in terror.
The mad, cold ones who fought before
Are Masters of the darkness still
And never shall they find their rest
Unless this power is invoked:
First, the heroes must take heed
And arm themselves full strong for war
And then must venture nobly forth
To find the Dark World's glowing door
To save the soul of Sapience's light
They must recover -
