"My friends" Hyne said to the array of creatures infront of him. "I have come to tell you that one of the 'man creatures' has at last forced me to give half of my powers away, the time is now here." there was a hush among those assembled then a great outcry.

"Please by friends, do not be alarmed"

"But the skin, what about the skin?" Asked one of the creatures.

"Alas, the skin survives still containing the other half of my powers. But the foolish men could not work out it's secret and blamed me for their lack of knowledge, but it was not all their doing. Griever. Step forward" The rest of the creatures gave a sharp gasp. "My friends, griever came to the man creature that received the half and told him that it was only my skin. That it did not contain any special powers in the hope that he might himself gain the powers it contained. But he had not enough virtue and wisdom to find the half's secrets." The creatures infront of Hyne all wept and cried for the betrayal of their beloved brother.

"For your betrayal Griever" Continued Hyne "You will be punished. From this day forth you shall be banished unto this ring" Hyne held up a plain silver ring "Until one as black hearted as you releases you to server them." and with that Hyne tossed the ring to griever. There was a bright flash and when the creatures could look again Griever had disappeared and on the ground lay the ring. But it was changed. Now the front was embossed with a perfect image of Grievers face. "It is done." Every being in the room lowered their heads in private mourning for their loss and pain.

"My friends, today great events have begun. The greatest this world has ever seen. And today my friends will bring more losses than that of Griever. Many sacrifices must be made and, my children, they must be made by you." Each creature took a minute to realise that Hyne had called them his children. 'My Children' he had said. Although he had created them and visited them for hunderds of years all of which they had called him 'father' he had called them 'friends'. And now the joy at hearing those words was almost drowned out by the sadness in his voice. "Do you accept the sacrifices which you must make?"

"Anything for you father" The creatures replied. Hyne smiled at them but soon looked solomn again.

"The task is great and if there was another way I would take it. But there is none.

"Soon I must leave you my friends." All the creatures gave out great wails of distress. "Someday I will come back. You must each prepare for that day. This will be the sign of my coming:

"When the seeds which were planted flower into a Garden

And the Garden hunts it's prey.

When the moon begins to cry once more

Bringing terror into the fray.

When the Guardians come together again

To kill the beloved ring.

And the Powers that were divided into two

Shall all come to angels wings.

When for redemption the traitor asks

Bringing forth hidden power

And when the six accept him home

Trust and love do flower

When the secret of power

By the lion is found.

And Hynes only precious child

By the light is crowned.

Then shall Hyne come again,

Bringing with him hope and choice

and with the 7 and the 17

the world will learn to rejoice.
