And so it begins
Poetry or prose
The Man With the Undying Fire
The call began to fill the air
Septimus, the man from beyond the veil
Flew through the ranks of the enemy
As if carried by lightning
That holy fire from the sky
The legionnaires had never seen a man shine so bright
He seemed to laugh and joy as he danced on air
Sending the dark creatures back to the light
"So long I've waited to return to the fight!"
He cried as the soldiers joined him
Though none could match him
Gaius, the commander, at first saw his delight with a dark eye
But when he beheld the snarling maw of the enemy
He too drew his sword and let forth a cry
"Come!" called the man from beyond. "Sons of the Earth! We go on to glory! To the Shining Steps and the Golden Gate! To the fire unending! The Sunlight Halls await!"
