Requiem for an Icon

By: Spudd Posted on: July 31, 2007

The pillar which scraped the sky like a spire
Of coalesced, scintillating fire.
She could not withstand Mhaldor's ire
The Crucible of Flames

A Warlock's blessing, her foes aghast
A scant half-century her timeline pass'd
Before the day she breathed her last
The Crucible of Flames

Arrayed about the Icon, we fought
Practicing what our Shinigami taught
'Twas to no avail, we found, distraught
The Crucible of Flames

The iconic shards, they came in droves
To counter Evil's vibes, blades and groves
Yet with death she seemed inevitably betrothed
The Crucible of Flames

Our blood reflected upon Nishnatoban sky
That fateful moment, her end was nigh
A dreadful clamour drew our eye
As she released a final sigh
A tearful goodbye
To the Crucible of Flames

Her halls now wreathed in deepest silence
The scarred walls testament to the violence
Which drove a city to avenge, with incense
The Crucible of Flames

And now far past her final hour
We still reminisce of her sacred power
For come rain, hail, sleet or shower

We shall remember
The Crucible of Flames
