Once a time, twas a sacred forest
of vitality, love, and bliss
Lo, beorcs’ gruesome hands
ignited death’s searing kiss.

Laguz and Serenes offered
to quell the loathsome fire.
Their wings and song sacrificed
upon the altar’s pyre.

Yet one alone escaped this fate,
the wood and she slumbered on.
Awake now is the winged heiress
whom sings the revival song.

Reunited upon the altar,
herons croon their melody.
Tis the music of their heritage
the reviving ceremony.

Wing and wood restored,
the past now swept away.
Tis much to be rejoiced Serenes,
tis the dawn of a new day.

This is my entry for :iconcyantre: 's Video Game Poetry Contest [link]

It was a lot of fun writing this but it took me a while to decide what I was going to write on. The game I chose in the end was "Fire Emblem- Path of Radiance". The scene that seemed to inspire me the most in the game was when the Heron Laguz forgave the Beorcs for the past and chose to move ahead. To revive Serenes forest that was once burned down Leanne and Reyson sing the "Galdyr of Life". To hear the beautiful music here's a link to the video from the game. [link]

I hope you enjoy this piece and Wish me luck! :aww:

Good luck!

It's a fine piece, I don't know anything of the setting but it has the feel of a real bard's tale to it.

chose...
love...'

Thank you so much :aww:

The setting is kind of a midevil period of time of mercenaries, kingdoms, and the struggles for power. It's a really awesome game. =] Glad that I was able to get that kind of a feel out.
