Terra's Blight:Prologue

_Shadows and Lights of Terra’s Blight_1

Twilight across the sky2

Is it dawn or dusk?3

No one knows…4

For now, shadow and light blend.5

Shadows on the ground6

Lights in the sky7

Angels of Light8

Vampires of Shadow9

Bleed the immortal life10

Of Terra’s Blight11

Undead stalk the night12

Preying off those whom13

Forever scar Terra’s beauty14

The blood lust unsatisfied15

Forever bound to impurity16

Woe to those of Terra’s Blight.17

Lights on the ground18

Shadows in the sky19

Vampires of Shadow20

Angels of Light21

Save the unworthy22

Of Terra’s Blight23

Heaven’s protective wings unfold24

Forever illuminating a way away25

From their fallen kin,26

Forever casting away the Shadows27

Guardians of Life28

Praise to those unworthy of Terra’s Blight29

Yet there comes a chance30

That one of the Blight changes stance31

Threatening the Balance32

A Vampire in love with an Angel?33

Even though she has Fallen34

She is still of Light and He of Shadow35

What will become of this twilight,36

This union of Shadow and Light?37

Will their love conquer all38

Or will they fall like shooting stars?39

Only time will reveal the Fate40

Of the lost children of Terra’s Blight41

Ancient childe of Old, there in this lays a Tale to be Told. Who am I, you all ask amongst yourselves. I am Terra, Goddess of the Earth. I am the one who should be ashamed of this Blight let loose upon my Realm. These two did not deserve to be torn apart because of this, and yet…This is only the beginning. Isfraelshra StarZenith is the one who brought the Prophecy from Heaven to give to Hyacinthe Maoric’s keeping. What Prophecy you say? Ah, I fear you have not heard of the Prophecy that not only reveals the Destruction of every creature, living or not, within the Shadow and Light as well as my own Realm…but also the Savior of it.42

Do not be alarmed, my childe. Things will be revealed all in due time. Yet even Time can provide a death too many. Let I, the Creator of the Prophecy itself, reveal its contents to your Eyes and Hearts. You must have Faith though. I cannot control the Outcomes of this Prophecy. Only my two lost Children have a chance to Save this realm. But I must warn you now, they themselves are members of the Blight, one of Shadow, and one of Light.43

_The Prophecy of the Elements_44

A day will come when the Children of the Blight45

Will destroy the ever-pronounced hate of one another.46

Two unlike those of the norm of their fellow siblings47

Of their side of the Blight will learn and show the other48

A Healing like none known to this day,49

For it is bathed in Compassion.50

Daughter of Light, do not let your Fear cloud your mind51

It will lead to your downfall and the end of Terra herself.52

Son of Shadow, do not be driven astray because of the norm53

Let your difference Heal the Daughter for She is yours and yours alone.54

Understand, Children of the Blight, that there is a purpose for this,55

For your Power will be unleashed far into the future56

And that Power will be abused without Compassion,57

That is accompanied by Hardships.58

Daughter, you alone shall know the Future of yourself59

You are Blessed with a Rare gift for the tasks before you.60

Fire Queen heed me now,61

For your gift may also crumble this,62

You must have no memory of the Past63

When you overtake a new Form a second time.64

This alone will keep the future Balancers of Power alive.65

You will not find your Lover this time,66

A Vampire of pure undiluted shadow will come for you67

But do not fear my young Queen.68

He is only Father to the Sacred Childe69

Until Truth revealed,70

Daughter listen well, there will be many a Hardship71

For the Childes you will bear,72

Two Lovers shall die and be reborn in another form,73

You alone shall recognize them.74

While born of Heaven’s Blessing,75

They control that of Shadow’s Nature.76

The Sacred One will face more hardship than even you.77

The One will be torn from you much too soon78

And shall witness Lover’s Bane and Light Lady’s Folly.79

But hold, not all is lost.80

Ice is not one to be destroyed easily,81

Soon the Elements will Reform into Two.82

One shall be of Body83

The Other of Power,84

You will meet the One of Power, Daughter85

For it is with Power that you bring the Prophecy86

Power, listen carefully, Balancers you Reformed are,87

Bound into one another at the Soul for eternity88

There will come a time, when your Lover shall Fall89

And it is your duty to bring Lover back.90

If you do not…the Elements shall become distraught91

They will attack one another Destroying Terra92

It is with your Lover that the Last War will be won with93

Without the Binding of the Elemental Court94

Terra Will Fall.95

The Elements are Bound to their Rulers96

Bring the Court to the Sacred Grounds97

They all shall find you there.98

Some have Passed on their powers to you already.99

And so you, My Chosen Rulers, will be them in their stead.100

Do not let the cries of Death plague you Queen.101

Or you shall fall into Shadows and not be able to Return,102

For there is no cure for Terra’s Blight.103
