Re: The Road: Chapter 01 - Peace
Reverie answers Joey,
"The real witch of the woods,
Who really is up to no good,
She pretended to be my friend..."
Reverie looks sad, lightly choking on her words.
"And was just using me, in the end."
Emerald asks, "So what did she do to curse you?"
Reverie says,
"She promised me lessons
In some of her ways,
But wanted my essence;
The essence of shade.
She had me gather
The very same things
That made me rather
Become crystalline.
She cast a spell
That I didn't know.
I remember well
Just how it goes:
When calling the Hells
To prepare a spell,
Take an old adage
From the Shadowfell;
The shadows await
For every soul's fate
And no one forever
Truly stays awake.
I ask the shadows to bind this soul
I call on powers from the days of old
See me now and make her cry
As I sing her last lullaby."
Reverie stops, showing clearly that she has recited the whole spell.
"I do not know how much it matters,
What all things she had me gather.
Part of it involved some glass shattered.
And her clothing had to be tattered.
The stuff I gathered was all common-place;
Some dirt, some grass, A bunch of lace."
