E TENEBRIS
(Out of Darkness)

Come down, O Christ, and help me! reach Thy hand,
For I am drowning in a stormier sea
Than Simon on Thy lake of Galilee:
The wine of life is spilt upon the sand,

My heart is as some famine-murdered land
Whence all good things have perished utterly,
And well I know my soul in Hell must lie
If I this night before God's throne should stand.

'He sleeps perchance, or rideth to the chase,
Like Baal, when his prophets howled that name
From morn to noon on Carmel's smitten height.'

Nay, peace, I shall behold, before the night,
The feet of brass, the robe more white than flame,
The wounded hands, the weary human face.

-- Oscar Wilde

CAVEAT

So sayeth the Kokiri:
"Be careful in new places. New places have new experiences, so do not trust your assumptions; new places have new dangers, so do not be lax in your senses; above all, new places have new secrets, so do not let go of your sense of wonder and curiosity."

So sayeth the Great Deku Tree:
"Enter the Lost Woods if thou must,
but Feedeth Not the Animals."

Notes and Trivia:
-- The "feet of brass" in Oscar Wilde's poem sounds more than a bit weird, but it refers to Revelation 1:12-16.
-- The "Dramatis Personae" and "Containéd Within" sections will be updated as more names and chapters are added to the story.
-- I apologize for any repetition or description of the well-known or obvious; I'm trying to create a story that can be enjoyed by people unfamiliar with the Zelda franchise.
-- Please enjoy.
