Spirits of lost hope depart, demons of fate's cruel hand, leave me. Spectors of anquish and pain I cast thee from my mind. Wearily he speaks the words, the incantation of despair, longing for the days of glories remembered. Pinning for the merriment of yesterday. He draws the symbols of conjuring, casting the spell of hope, praying to his elemental gods to heal a broken soul, a tainted spirit. He lights the candles of color, as he whispers the incantation. Lighting the inscence, casting the runes. Begging the powers to come, and make him whole once more. He lays upon the alter built, and stares to the midnight sky. Sacrificial knife to wrist, as blood bathes the ground, body, with soul, soon die. ------------------ Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn. JP |

If I could imagine a mage telling his child a bedtime story, this is it. Well struck, wordsmith. DB |
