Note: Feel free to skip this and head into the actual story that begins in Chapter Two. This was originally a poem that was to tie into the story and has since...not. It's really only left here for those who like poetry and to keep place until the story if finished.

Magician's Waltz

A step, a turn, gliding on air.
A smile, a bow, kiss for a maiden so fair.

Tears no longer showing,
fears no longer expressed.
The playful game of hide and seek
avoiding death's caress.

One and two, three and four.
Silent footsteps sliding across the floor.

Cold and smooth,
The whisper of satin,
Sliding and caressing across spun flaxen.

A dip, a spin, an elegant laugh.
The creamy touch of another's calf.

Stares and whispers,
an itchy sensation.
The wondering gaze
and the betrayed's tears.

Closed, back
forward and turn.

Left, back,
forward and spin.

Empty and cold, amusement trickling in.
A quick of the lips, run, jump and fly.
