//------------------------------// // Firefly's Chord // Story: Ballad Of Harmony's Legacy // by overlord-flinx //------------------------------// I was given a single task years ago... When the world was young and so was I. My honored royalties bestowed on me this task along with the verses that would usher the coming of the challenges I would face. It is daunting, tasking, and a heavy burden to undertake... But it is solely mine to take on. I am the guardian of the Chariot of Fire, the Blade of Blood, the Spark of Life, and the Royal's Honor. I shall never forget my task: Spark of triumph belong to she of stone, Where she once sat, the crystal throne, Her pelt pink and silky, stretched to her face, Looked like none other, yet honored the grace, Once praised the queen, now none have seen, History has forgot her, left not a trace. Defiler and traitor, history's chosen words, Though too, was once leader of the herds, His hands once held the blade for a knight, Though in time he swung it out in spite, The traitor's hand, his last remand, Listen not for the traitor's plight. Winds shall carry the loathing of the stone, None shall hear but mare who seeks atone, Thief and tyrant sworn in by oath, Twisted shadows brought against their loath, A darkened horn breads only scorn, Hatred slain by honored growth. It will cause no pain and no wreck to the land, To wash the this world is all its planned, Its mass horrific upon unyielding eyes, Give not heed to it's shameless guise, Plague upon leaf, it breeds but grief, Light and shadow will pray on highs. Lack reward in gem's begotten scarred, Yet rarest jewel, herald of the charred, A gift of willing leads blood to hoof, Trail of hatred, though lack there proof, The tree ablaze, the wrath of raze, The smoke billows outward for skies roof. The... Last two escape me. At this moment, I assure you! Rest assured, I shall remain vigilant, dauntless, and strong within my task set out before me. Lest the forces of evil best me... In the name of my Royals, I shall always remain the cornerstone of safety and righteous natures. It is my task, my duty, and my repertoire. -Firefly
