The Darkenwood

By: Serendi Posted on: January 16, 2012

The old light forest and the new dark one
were ailing both, what evil had begun?
The trees sighed with the wind in their boughs,
The forest keened and the wilderness howled.

Prophecy had foretold of Nature and Dark
And of a great union that would mark
The coming of the dread Arachnoi
Their queen the projeny of the ploy

Orina and Xandor would come forth
The Order of Gaia, Her jewel of great worth
And Xandor of Twilight's darkling brood
Would come to do the forest good.

Together united the Orders would stand
For to save Nature would Gaia's Hand
The forest would then feel Their presence
and it would be imbued with Their essence

All would come together, the prophecy fulfilled
In one great ritual, the forest would be healed

A hundred years would pass by slowly
And Darkenwood would again be lowly
Sartan would extend His evil hand
Its wickedness felt across the land

He would use the wood for his own end
The land to His use He would bend
Urania suffered as her wood was culled
Its energy spent, to Propasia she called.

Urania entreated her sister dear
a dryad who had lost her forest near
Ere Propasia had cried angry tears and fought
As her forest to the ground had been brought

The Oracle came and they would merge.
With her sister Urania, they would purge
the Darkenwood of the evil beset it
Together the two sisters became knit.

The forest would be saved once again
The delicate balance would begin
