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
