The End of the Beginning

The descent of Darkness

By circumstance, darkness surrounded my vision,

My perception, taken and flooded in the deep

Waters of Life. My Essence felt it seep

Through with no warning given.

The Demons poured forth set on a collision

With my Soul. They devoured, bent to reap

My Light, the solitary guard of my keep

That prevented my complete division.

Their vicious claws poised on my Light;

They dragged my keeper away

Infecting me with the Blight

Of humanity. It tried to force me to sway,

Growing ferocious upon my Knight.

The once strong Oak now in dismay, withering in its decay.
