A Shard of the Brightest Darkness

A Tale of the Swords

By

Cobalt the Black Fire

Forged in blood

Forged from steel

Cooled in waters of a mighty flood

Yet sharp as it was the blade could not feel

It could not think

It could not breathe

Yet within it was fire

And fire will succeed

Before the Gods this sword was broght

Placed on the line between light and day

Its twin blades caught the rays

Of both Sun and Moon

Both sisters saw

That this blade could defend them all

In two halves

The sword was split

Each their own

But opposite

One for

The light of day

One for the moon

And her gentle ways

The sword of the moon

Took on new form

It became a being

The god of war

War saw weakness

Where others saw kindness

And so whispered in the Moons ear

Of darker passions

Corruption and pain

Fear and desire

From War's inner self

Came the blades fire

Wrapped about the Moon

Patienly respire

The Sun saw this

And with feelings of rage

The Sword of the sun

She began to raise

Yet before she could finish

The swords inner fire

Gave birth to its child

A goddess of Knowledge

And so they began

To give in to each other

Until both were balanced

On the edge of what they were

On the precipice of the unknown

And the begging of what they will be

"Who was the sword smith?"

I hear you ask

Heed my words

You do not need to know

He is more yet less

Than the weakest shadow

Or strongest light

He is the fury of day

The stalker In the night

Beware beware

He is the final being

A balance of all

A shard, of brightest darkness
