Five of Five: A Guardian's Tale

Prelude:

The five guardians of the shadows watching the Ring,

Nightwalkers of the nighttime sky.

First of the five carrying a blacken sword is their king

With two to be the watchers of the towers high

While the last of the five seeks the ring

As the borders are watched by another walker's blade.

Clashing blades shall sound

As the five are struck down by fellow blades

While foreign blades are turned away.
