The castle shuddered, then fell with a roar
Smirking wizard had shown all his might
But behind him the tall towers stood no more
Refuge no more ’gainst creatures of the night— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) March 15, 2018
“For friend, I have seen the dying of the light, and against its death I shall always fight!”
And he smiled, drew his great sword, saluted me, and charged into the night— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) March 15, 2018
I cast the spell and gazed into the fire
For wisps of the future in the quickening pyre
And beheld magic, awakened, commencing to gleam
Then all the roads that led back home
Were filled with spells that swirled like foam
Like magics in a dream— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) March 16, 2018
Once yon crumbling castle stood tall and grand
Inside high throne where king held sway
O’er this vast many-bannered land
And in the years ere it all went away
Knights many rode forth in glittering array
To enforce every last exacting royal command
All emptiness and bones today— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) March 16, 2018
