Chapter One: To the Tune of Lizzie Borden


Elves and humans worked side by side

To help the other walk astride

But when the humans proved ingrate

Gulfen broke the first stalemate


The two species once in arms

Now wish to bring the other harm

But if you put all things aside

Both humanity and elfin lied


Little Layra and Max Griffin

Had to end their friendship then

The war had split them wide apart

Just enough to break his heart


Little Max had no one more

No mother or father or friend for sure

He was locked up and shut to die alone

Now to make my presence known


Maxwell Griffin heard my voice

In his mind he had no choice

But to hear what I said

Else he too would lay there dead


Keep your life, fulfill your role

Grant me use of your body and soul

Work for me you're useful yet

Work for me, revenge you'll get


Max Griffin took his ache

And reaped fifty years for its sake

And when he saw what he had done

He couldn't right his countless wrongs!


(yeah, I know I called him Maxwell. Just go along with it.) This is basically the story of the life of Max Griffin so far as told in the tune of Lizzie Borden, the nursery rhyme. You may have heard of it.

Lizzie Borden took an axe

And gave her mother forty wacks

And when she saw what she had done

She gave her father forty-one

I want to put the Amulet characters in well-known fairy tales. Give me requests or the like and I'll go for it. Please don't skip reviewing, I like reading everyone's words. -Who even cares
