Title: The Temple of Darkness Poem Author: Kygar
Temple of Darkness Poem
Eorgina, Mother of Darkness
Repose in silent waiting,
With revanche to come.
Ivas, Sweet Seductress
Fair skin, alluring eyes
Dance, Inis, dance.
Fash'lo'nae, Master of Glyphs
Magic in a word,
The power of form and shape.
Andelas, Feral Feline Lord
Beguiling trickster,
Triumphant through stealth.
V'Tull, Vengeful Warrior
Strike the blow,
Fell the foe.
Sheru, Cloaked in Darkness
Eternal night,
And sleepless dreams
Mularos, The Lover
Narrow line,
'Tween pain and pleasure.
Luukos, Soul-taker
Gory blood-feast
Devour my enemy's soul.
Onar, Dark Assassin
Patient vengeance,
Righteous retribution.
Amasalen, Dark Watcher
Grim reaper,
Gathering the tares.
Marlu, Cruel Master
Guard the Dark Queen,
Spirit born of death.

We watch for your return.
