This work is inspired by The Written by Ben Galley, Youtube creator Jerry Freeman's video: RWBY, but BETTER, and an almost obsessive need to put forth whatever happens to be in my head (seriously, I have at least fifty plus incomplete stories on my computer). So without further ado, I hope this story does justice to what has been set forth.
Once there were Pale Kings three
Whose blighted touch went Sea to Sea
Once they thought they were forevermore
Until a Fool sent them to Eternal Shore
One brought Ruin, the Destructor
Also Vice, Dark Corruptor
Third is Bane the Conqueror
They set their sights across the Water
Listen hard and listen well
For you face foes most fell
Runeborn though you may be
Let not this power blind you to see
Stand valiant, with might true
Let not Pale Kings rule over you
Listen now and hark these words
Lest Darkness devour all that was
The souls of those who valiant fought
Fly free of body among the birds
The might of the Scions Three
Hatred for all who in the Light live free
First is Ruin, the destructive Rot
None now know what he sought
Bane the Conqueror sought Dominion
Seeking to destroy that which opposed him
Vice the Son of all Corruption
Few withstood insidious instruction
Harken now and hear this plea
If the Darkness does not flee
The might of The Written can only Stand
With the help of their Legacy Hand
Forth shall spring Fell Runeborn
Guiding the Children to safer Morn
Listen now and hear this Tale
As children weep and women wail
Men of mighty Valor Strong
Do battle through Nights too long
Lest all that was fall to Dismay
And all Hope wither away
In the face of Demons Grim
Who seek to slay on mere whim
Stand now men and be True
Lest in the Light you shall Rue
When all men gather to fight as One
Yet hid like Knave till the fight was done
