Lightning's Ballad

The gods' tale are woven in crystal. The tale of Bhunivelza, the slumbering god bearing witness to an eternal dream. The tale of Etro, the goddess drowning in a sea of chaos. Etro bestowed humans a gift. Though unseen, that gift, it lies within us all. It is a constant turmoil of light and darkness, strength and frailty, beauty and unsightliness. That gift is our spirit.

It gives us the strength we need to persevere in hardships. Yet at times, it is nothing but a curse, staying beyond our control...causing us pain and sorrow. Even so,it is something far too precious to lose. It is what allows me to have courage for the future.

In a world consumed by chaos, in a world where spirits are fading. I ask myself:Do I have the strength to embrace my gift?

For now, I sleep- dreams everlasting. It is here I await the end of eternity...and the day I awaken once again...

This is my first writing and it's horrible. Not the exact one. But what I heard of it.
