PURSUE THAT WHICH YOU TREASURE
PROLOGUE: PREDICTION
Something dances in the light, basking on a sunny clearing.
Something precious leaves a mark, in a place that lies unseen.
Flawless magic left behind, grows in strength and grows in splendour
And its casters now would find, it has lingered true and just.
-
Rainbow splits the peaceful sky. Cat and serpent dance in bliss.
Come to near to where it lies, nursing on the rainbow's light.
Now it takes them unawares, moulds and twists and shapes and severs
'Til within white magic's lair, something's drifting from the sky.
-
Something new is born this night, born in comfort, trust and joy
Creature formed of magic's might, born to love and mend and save.
Courage no one can achieve, for she lives on hope and courage.
Gathers all to fight for peace, for they are merely strong together.
-
Far more than eternal love, pervaded by good purpose
Living on her own bright light, basking in her dreams unstained.
Something dances in the light, basking on a sunny clearing
Something precious leaves a mark, in a place that lies unseen.
------------------------------
Something lingers in the dark, waiting in a pool of shadows
Something tainted leaves a mark, in a place that lies unseen,
Crippled magic left behind, grows in strength and grows in evil
And its casters now would find, it has grown foul and obscene.
-
Lightning splits the angry skies. Cat and serpent locked in struggle.
Come too near to where it lies, feeding on the lightning's fire.
Now it takes them unawares, moulds and twists and shapes and severs
'Til within dark magic's lair something raises from the pyre.
-
Something new is born this night, born in hurt and fear and anger
Creature formed of magic's might, born to hate and rend and kill.
Hunger nothing can appease for it feeds on pain and dying
Everything before it flees, lest they be caught by its will.
-
Something more than mortal hate, spoiled like a thing long left dead
Feeding on its own dark rot, basking in its dreams unclean.
Something lingers in the dark, waiting in a pool of shadow
Something tainted leaves a mark in a place that lies unseen.

Dancing girl,
Raven's child
9th leaf of the calendar
And a song softly hummed
Once upon in September.

Nature's girl,
Soul unstained
Never knew her father
And a song softly hummed
Once upon in September

Red-haired elf,
Angel's face
Couples dancing fast
And a song softly hummed
Once upon in September.
-
Mature lass
Sharp in mind
Seeking her place in life
And a song softly hummed
Once upon in September
------------------------------
In a time when evil endangers to dominate the Island
A threesome of Maidens will come into being
Each armed with a unique gift and personality
Each descended from the same father.
-
The eldest provided with a lion's stout heart
will mature into a brave warrior for freedom, happiness and justice.
She is unaffected by the deadly curse of paralysis.
-
The second one, cursed with a serpent's cunning soul
Will decay into an unscrupulous knight in the Dark Lord's service.
She is protected from the unforgivable killing curse.
-
The youngest is blessed with a raven's sharp mind
Her fate will be determined, as the three of them will join forces.
She is unharmed by the agonizing Cruciatus Curse.
-
Time will tear them apart; individually they will lead their lives.
When they overcome their distance and combine the forces of the lion, the serpent and the raven,
A mighty trinity will emerge and the power of the Dark Lord will prevail or fade.
