Alaundo's 42nd Prophecy

 The Prince and the Black Hand, the lawful Three,

Two Chosen fall, creating a lifeless, red sea.

Above the death, the strings are deftly led;

The coveter triumphs, His power held by a thread.

Six points of light, the coveter now holds dear;

Yet six heroes extinguish them, despite their fear.

 The coveter gone, the emptiness cries

The Gods move, and triumph, but still a great void does lie.

A time of trouble, a repeat of the past;

Out of the void in the heavens a sorrow is cast.

Through the chaos, the Good call on another six;

Chosen from afar, yet, an order from the mix:

 The youngest from a Dale, a missing soul in her heart;

Infatuation and temper, her hands play the sword's part.

The oldest scarred - parting the veil of fallacy is his role;

Red begets Blue, a truly opposite pole.

The shortest divided, a dwarf of faith and a flaming sword;

The glory of battle is what he does truly hoard.

 The fourth saving his kin, a scent on his mind;

Blood has betrayed him, and the Law he must find.

The fifth a fighter of sport, a curse of the Black Lord;

His struggle within producing a distinctly atonal chord.

The last, an elf of the Wood - Mother Nature he holds dear;

His companion is one that the others should not fear.

 The group is charged with a quest most dire;

The Path of the Tome must be followed, through a pane of Fire.

The six must find the chosen of the Tome;

Appearances deceive them, lies try to protect where they roam.

The chosen will guide them, the planting of a seed;

Only they will sacrifice the key, and the wisdom they need.

 The mask that is destroyed will reveal a sense of dread;

A Crown attempts to raise one of the Three that were Dead.

Retaking his throne, the old lord will attempt to do;

A former serpent will lead them to what is thought to be true.

The quelling of Evil, the continuation of peace;

The six must prevent the Ascension, or all might cease.

 A final warning: a broken Path requires penance;

In truth, the result of the Path is a life sentence.
