The Ballad of Genesis

By: Hipsana Posted on: August 12, 2005

Before all time there was Ayar,
Omnipotent was He.
He made all places here and there,
From the land up to the sea.

Of Elder gods there were but few,
To govern and maintain.
Great power they were given then,
To explore and to gain.

The Aldar he created next,
Of mortal blood were they.
To serve the Gods was then their lot,
To learn and work all day.

Ayar was bored in his oneness,
He's lonely and forlorn.
He split himeslf into two parts,
Thus Proteus was born.

Proteus was a God of Gods,
King of Divines was He.
A wife he took, Lorielan.
Beauty and wit had She.

Aegis is the Divine of War,
The Chief of all Warfare.
Thoth is the harbinger of Death,
The fallen His to snare.

Prospero is the Lord of Wealth,
He's master of the coin.
Matsuhama joys in Combat,
No fray that He won't join.

Vastar oversees the great Skies,
He glories in the storm.
Valnurana's domain is Sleep,
From Her all Dreams are born.

Aeon is the Keeper of Time,
He moves it slow and fast.
The mother of Nature is Gaia,
Her realm is large and vast.

Agatheis holds Elements,
Earth, air, water, and fire.
Shaitan governs all things Evil,
I would not risk his ire.

Gentle lovers look to Eros,
for matters of the heart.
Scarlatti loves the written word,
He's Patron of the Arts.

Caspian is God of Oceans,
He watches all the sea.
Lucretius is a thoughtful one,
His realm Philosophy.

Miramar proclaims Her Justice,
She is straight and true.
The God Twilight rules all Darkness,
When skies are dark and blue.

Sneaky Rogues watch for Raclawice,
Wanderer of the planes.
Lupus ruler of Wilds and Beasts,
The cities are his bane.

Last are Khalas and Daedelus,
For their realm they took none.
I sing the Pantheon of the Gods,
Of elder days now gone.

And so Creation was complete,
Ages came and past.
The land was good the light was bright,
But this time would not last.
