== 1 - When IceWings laugh and play (an extremely rare occurrence) ==
By Queen Dusk.
When the dawn breaks,
And the winter wakes,
When the wind stills,
And the world chills,
The longest day,
Is on its way,
When IceWings laugh and play.
The snow will fall,
The wolves will call,
Fire is a forgotten word,
And mentioning heat seems absurd,
The coldest day,
Is on its way,
When IceWings laugh and play.
Glowing beams of cold sunlight,
Vanish quickly at the beginning of night,
When snow is deep,
And white as sheep,
The frost will stay,
For another day,
When IceWings laugh and play.
== 2 - Summer Beauty ==
The wavering shapes of leaves obscured
the palace from our view, but still, we saw
Graceful spires, soaring peaks that pierced the sky
It breathed. On those drowsy summer days when
The sun beat down on us, warm rays
Provided no relief, so we sought
Refuge at the palace.
How majestic it was! A jewel, a spectacle.
It glinted with pearls and emeralds, the walls
Slick with water running down the sides gleamed bright.
Comforts of all sorts were found inside for us to use,
So we ignored the history that clung there
With no release, deep in the foundation.
We turned our faces away.
The seabirds flew, preceding the clouds but
We had our eyes covered, we did not see
Disaster at the horizon, as it drew ever swiftly nearer.
It came. On that fated day when history was relived
The harsh croaking of the albatross rang
Loud along terror and bloodshed
As we grieved once again.
== 3 - The Night We Left Behind ==
Come, child, sit. Yes, there - hush!
Be silent! Do not fidget, do not squirm, and above all,
Quiet. You know the others do not speak of this.
They clamp their mouths shut and say no words,
They tell you nothing. I see them when you ask.
They are afraid; they look past you,
And shake their heads, and walk backwards away.
Always away, always fleeing. Frightened. Afraid.
I do not blame them, their fear is not unfounded.
Nightmares scare enough when they are not real,
And he was a nightmare who wore flesh.
Perhaps you are too young to hear this - no? Then
Listen. Let this be a warning for you and yours.
With night comes darkness, and with darkness
Comes safety. Familiarity. But not for this one.
He took darkness into his very soul.
He was a scourge, a horror. He haunts us even now.
You know the others will not utter speech for this,
