Half a Hollow

Half a Hollow was a poem written by Tox.
It told the story of those left behind in the Endless Night during the second dark age after Dragonhollow fell and the efforts of HyperSilence to lead them to their new home on Halfast.
Though Tox penned it at the Silo, he chose to display it in his bedroom rather than archive it within the Silo Library.

Long they wandered the night,<BR>
lost in a darknesst cold and vast.<BR>
Left adrift without an anchor,<BR>
but for the memory of a Hollow past.<BR>
For no candle can replace<BR>
the sun setting hard and fast.<BR>
And the brighter the flame burns,<BR>
the darker its shadow is cast.<BR>
"Take heart," he said, "With luck abound—<BR>
surely we'll find solid ground."<BR>
They sought an answer to a question no one had asked,<BR>
and waited for a time no calendar had ever forecast.<BR>
"Stay strong," he said, "what we seek shall be found—<BR>
when we reach where we're bound."<BR>
Wait! what is that light there?<BR>
a beacon bright, come at last!<BR>
the Hollow made whole again,<BR>
at journey's end they massed.<BR>
Reunited amongst friend and foe,<BR>
building a future and having a blast!<BR>
Though if we're being honest and true,<BR>
the whole thing is a bit half assed.
=Behind the Scenes=
----
The following is out-of-universe information about the real world Dragonhollow.
Tox wrote Half a Hollow because he felt that HyperSilence didn't get enough credit in bringing the old Dragonhollow community back together again by hosting a new Minecraft server.
The last line, "the whole thing is a bit half assed," is a joking reference to the server's original name "Half Assed" before it was officially rebranded with Tox's lore name, Halfast.
