DARKCHILDE

 

DEMON summoned by magic of the DARK,

MORTAL hoping to control his BARK.

DEMON was not pleased, she is WRONG,

SHE was weak, he was STRONG.

THE evil one impregnated HER.

 

LEAVING an offspring with the MORTALS,

HE may come to and from via PORTALS.

SHE gave birth to a BOY,

MAGIC was like a TOY.

THE boy was a natural with MAGIC.

 

BORN of demon & mortal was DARKCHILDE,

EVERYONE feared the boy of the WILD.

HIS mother loved dark ARTS,

WHILE he was soft of HEART.

SHE would kill, he would HEAL.

 

MOTHER taught son the dark WAYS,

HOW to master the dark WAYS.

DARKCHILDE learned 3 times as FAST,

THAN his mother had in her PAST.

USING magic, he forged his SWORD.

 

AVENGER, the name of his SWORD,

WIELDED with ease like a bard on a CHORD.

AVENGER was of great MIGHT,

IT filled evil with FRIGHT.

HEADS rolled as avenger STRUCK.

 

DARKCHILDE reluctantly LEARNED,

HOPING Mother would BURN.

USING dark ways for GOOD,

HE helped everyone he COULD.

A knight without shinning ARMOR.

 

AFTER mastering the dark ARTS,

DARKCHILDE ripped out Mothers HEART.

HE made a great VOW,

TO defend, to the best of his know HOW.

FEAR being his best ALLY.

 

SONGS sung and tales TOLD,

BARDS and skalds made TOLLS.

TELLING of the one from the DARK,

THEY sang of is vicious BARK.

RUTHLESSLY killing all EVIL.

 

SOULS of his PREY,

STRENGTHENED his dark RAYS.

POWER beyond mortal DREAMS,

THE might of his dark BEAMS.

LEAVING nothing but ASH.

 

PEOPLE stared at HIM,

FEAR in all of THEM.

DARKCHILDE'S hideous stare, scared ALL,

HE still fought to see evil FALL.

HE fought valiantly for the MORTALS.

 

MORTALS of Gaul exiled HIM,

DARKCHILDE felt hurt by THEM.

PONDERING of sending all to the GRAVE,

PONDERING the many he SAVED.

BUT time was NEAR.

 

TIME for toy to meet toy MAKER,

QUESTIONING who will be the TAKER.

FEELING a strong evil in the AIR,

PARANOIA was EVERYWHERE.

WAITING for the INEVITABLE.

 

GATHERING were the dark CLOUDS,

A clap of thunder, fleeing were CROWDS.

LIGHT of the sun did DISAPPEAR,

CURIOSITY made mortals PEER.

THEY felt a rip at heart and SOUL

 

THE evil one began his STRIKE,

CHAOS, fear, and hate felt ALIKE.

ALL felt at least ONE,

AS clouds of darkness became ONE.

PRAYING for forgiveness were the MORTALS.

 

DARKCHILDE came to aid the MORTALS,

IN the sky was a dark PORTAL.

FIGHTING in the SKY,

NO mortals dare EYE.

IT was Father verses SON.

 

DARKCHILDE fought long and HARD,

FATHER caught him off GUARD.

FATHER banished his SON,

THE day the demon WON.

THEN all mortals did FIGHT.

 

MORTALS fought hard, but to no AVAIL,

THE demon was sure to PREVAIL.

MAGIC was gathered by ALL,

HOPING the demon would FALL.

UNITING all they HAD.

 

VILLAGE was BURNING,

MORTALS were RUNNING.

SOME fought FIRES,

MAGES were casting the "FUNERALS PYRE".

THEY fought hopeless FIGHTS.

 

DARKCHILDE opened a PORTAL,

AND returned to world of MORTALS.

EMERGING in the LIGHT,

HE was ready to FIGHT.

USING Father as a BEACON.

 

MEPHISTOPHELES was forced to FLEE,

ALL mortals happy and GLEE.

ALL wanted Darkchilde to STAY,

BUT I must go AWAY.

FATHER must DIE.
