CHAPTER SIXTY FIVE

History and mystery tend to go hand in hand

~

The nymphs were not unlike the race of elves that Hawk knew well

She had once been stationed in the forests where they dwell

But unlike elves whose hair was silky and whose skin was fair

The nymphs had scaly scaly skin very short and spiky hair

Grey brought Hawk down through a complex maze of sea caverns

Passing by crystal formations growing like small ferns

Hawk wished she had time to stop and look at everything

But the world had little time for normal researching

“This way human, the chief of this region is in here

But be careful, rarely does such a strange guest appear”

The cavern opened up to reveal a grand entrance way

Decorated with gems she’d not seen before that day

Passing through the massive shining gate, there was a room

The air of which was nothing like the caverns eerie gloom

Crystal furniture hung from the tall ceiling of stone

Hundreds of nymphs clad in armour kneeled before a throne

The eldest of the Nymph Kings who still lead the ocean floor

Once a fighter, he wages no battles anymore

Instead, he devotes his talents to raising his kin

Helping younger generations find the strength within

The king had just concluded a speech, offering advice

Warning that the trails ahead demand a heavy price

The room cleared out while Grey hid Hawk in a pillar’s shadow

Once the room was empty, the king knew she was there though

“It’s been many ages since I met a human child

Not since long before the kingdoms’ treaty was defiled

Tell me, does the lineage of Randal linger on?

If his descendants rule you, I’ll demand that you be gone”

Achievement: Historical Significance

You have just been questioned by an ancient enemy

But the line he speaks of lives only in history

Several lines have come and gone before King Beam’s ascent

You now stand before a very ancient government

Hawk’s smile radiated innocence and great respect

She had so many questions and old stories to connect

But she thought it best to be straightforward just for now

She needed to deal with the portal issues somehow

“I serve no such king, nor has one reigned for many years

My kingdom at least, shan’t be a just cause for your fears

I am searching now for answers to a current threat

Have you come close to understanding the portals yet?”

The Elder King, whose eyes were grey, looked cautiously at Hawk

Then when he appraised her he was greeted by a shock

“All Seeing is give to those whose eyes burn with greed

The God of Wisdom blesses you, that’s very rare indeed

To think a human child has so much hunger for truth

If only these young subjects of mine were as wise in youth”

The king smiled at the General who rolled her deep blue eyes

His comment seemed out of place in a room so grand in size

“Your majesty, it pains me not to have much time to chat

But there’s a mystery at hand, and I must tend to that

Have you any knowledge of the portals in the sky?

Do you have any records that might help to explain why?”

The king looked closely at the human mage for quite a while

Then spoke to her in a hushed voice with a mischievous smile

“You’ve seen a red status screen lately, so you tell me

Have you stumbled on some hidden knowledge recently?”
