Straggler from Atlantis |
Out of the sea and no longer wind-driven, an ominous shore beckoned him |
Murmurous waves comforted thy rebirth from the wamb of the strangling ocean |
Kardios — sprawled on a while coast, alive and ashore far from home |
Reminding the garden where a tune brought mischief a quivering shadow slid |
across him! |
All of a sudden something towered before him, an assembly of giants older than |
time |
Weakend and weary with a harassing arcanum they eyed Kardios, Nephol their name |
Further they heard Kardios’tale, Enek and Yod and Lotay |
Solemn silence fell upon them for Theona’s Atlantis was drowned in the sea… |
Out of the sea — from dark waters he rose |
Kardios — bearing the burden and throe of memory |
Theona overrade the presage of old |
Kardios, who drowned the isle kingdom… kissing the kiss of death! |
In bright unbroken beams from the far untold unknown |
Like a torrent of foam he came |
An obscure structure without shape or form |
Coming from the skies faster than light |
«Atlantis, Atlantis has flowered forever |
For Theona has resigned as her queen |
Worshipped and honored and loved but kissed never… |
So is Theona and always has been» |
«Fairer Theona than moon or than sun |
Fairer stan stars in the vault of the skies |
No man can say when her reign has begun |
Lovely and queenly and regal and wise |
So it was told by the gods in high heaven |
Atlantis shall live and forever prevail |
Until her sweet lips in a love-kiss are given |
So runs the prophecy, so says the tale |
Forever Atlantis has flowered but this |
Is told of Theona — the moment that she grants |
To a lover the boon of a kiss |
Atlantis, Theona will drown in the sea…" |
Out of the sea — seeking remission |
Predestination — the harper from the sea |
Nephol island — sullen from a riddle, known as filth |
Exemption from a substance they called Fith… |
Fith subsisted and throve of Nephal flesh |
Brought upset and turmoil |
Burdened with dismay anf bereft of hope |
The giants hearts failed them |
Devoured with ambition he was led before a well |
Once the home of spirits, convenient of Fith |
A weird blotch of wastness to separate the sun |
Far below the well a pallid spot of silver light |
Peering in the void old Atlantis came to mind |
Theona’s tender eyes in the raging, roaring flood |
An edge of icy-blue from the cave community |
To combat Fith and cast off the burden memory! |
Prepared well for the finale he descended to Fith, the luminous mass from the |
stars |
The flaplike projection thrusted Kardios with a touch like a tongue of bright |
flames |
But the glow of awareness in Fith’s tissue blinked out, the panting breath |
labored then stopped! |
So it was told and freedom was given to the giant kin, Nephol their name! |
«My sword was wonders shall we twain not do? |
The world is ours to roam and render clean |
Against whatever peril comes in view |
My arm is strong, your point and edge are keen» |
«For storming citadels for holding clear |
From sail and sloth, for glory in the sun |
For showing enemies the face of fear |
My good companion, you and I are one!» |
Out of the sea — remission was found |
Kardios — the straggler from the sea |
Farewell to the cave community |
Walking past the trunks he hummed Theona’s tune… |
