### The Message

> Winter has passed and spring has come,
>
>

> But despite my plans I was undone.
>
>

> I failed in my quest for the grail,
>
>

> All my efforts were to no avail.
>
>

> But I was saved by those who open precise gashes,
>
>

> And like the Spirit of the Record, I rise from the ashes.
>
>

> To the burning friend in pain,
>
>

> Your search for love is not in vain.
>
>

> Forget the one who stole your first kiss,
>
>

> His duty comes first and you won't find bliss.
>
>

> Beware the one who smiles as he lies,
>
>

> In the end, his cruelty will lead to your cries.
>
>

> For the one who drinks the tears of those who remain,
>
>

> Dry your eyes, your efforts were not in vain.
>
>

> While I may not easily return to your side,
>
>

> I know that you will take this rift in stride.
>
>

> Know that on your way many protected your back,
>
>

> But senseless slaughter will leave you open to attack.
>
>

> For the serene serpent slithering across the net,
>
>

> You may find all the answers yet.
>
>

> My blessing goes out to the two beating beneath your heart,
>
>

> Their coming will be easy and they will have a good start.
>
>

> May your family and friends grow evermore,
>
>

> And may your secret be lifted nevermore.
>
>

> To the dragon of the marshy northern lands,
>
>

> I place one gift of my people into your hands.
>
>

> Your fire and friendship warmed my heart,
>
>

> I shall cherish your wisdom while we are apart.
>
>

> We are cousins by blood but separated by time,
>
>

> Do not worry, we shall meet again down the line.
>
>

> For the child of the mountain and the wave,
>
>

> Your ruthlessness has filled many a grave.
>
>

> Follow your heart and we might become brothers,
>
>

> But beware those who bring the Autumn to the others.
>
>

> We may become one family or one Kin and Kith,
>
>

> Though beware that your love doesn't fade into myth.
>
>

> For the one whose wound I could not heal,
>
>

> I know your loss and understand how you feel.
>
>

> You fiery attack is just but wrong,
>
>

> You direct your anger where it does not belong.
>
>

> Your horsemen are Nightmares twisted and born,
>
>

> They will lead you down a path lonely and forlorn.
>
>
