Subject: The Heir of Xalis Author: Sapheron Aria [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 12:10:39 01/09/04 Fri This is a story about a man by the name of Nahris Xalis. His days were already many and full. He was a retired soldier, and lived peacefully with his wife and daughter. But war doesn’t rest, and just before his first year of marriage two great rulers of the land took up arms against each other. Nahris’s wife was young and strong still, and full of conviction and loyalty. So she left to fight in this new conflict asking Nahris to take care of their daughter. One night, several months into the war Nahris was wakened when he dreamed that his vibrant wife was slain on the field of combat in a far away land. As he woke his daughter was before him and came to comfort him. She was wise for her age and new many things, and thought she grieved for her mother she knew that Nahris would soon go back to the battlefield. But before he did she made him promise to send word to the rulers of the land telling them of the true loss war brought them, and it went something like this... I can’t hear you scream while sleeping The tears don’t cry but linger lost grieving How can the mind forget what won’t fade Scares left behind by torn night shades There’s no escape, nor a suddle slumber A painful distance to slow heart’s thunder So please come back at morning’s end Even for only a moment to go back again Because what you thought I knew truly Wishing on hopes few truths blew coldly Visit my sleepless dreams death’s riddle Wish me back as I beg your life rekindle You swayed eyes a promise that deterred Lies ever soft are stained by truth returned Hallowed love lured by this hate harbored Hate’s retort released on my haven ordered This war waged willing your end onward Forward must I march respite empowered So please come back by mornings end Even for just a moment to go back again. By the time it reached both rulers Nahris has also fallen on the battlefield. It was then that both rulers agreed to end the terrible war. Sadly this would not be the last time the little girl would bring peace to the lands. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
