Hunter's Tale

PART I: TALEFARER

''From home I hied me
and from home faring
I saw a way of ways:
Was a way beneath and a way above
and ways there were on all sides.

In all its stillness
the moon pierces it's light through me
As if I'm but a ghost
A phantom shattered with illumination.

PART II: THE MIND MONOLOGUE

Oh, mother moon, awake
Shine your light for my path to gain
Unveil to me tonight my fate
As your shrouds drift away.

Through the wilds I wander on
Knowing a time will come
Where I will remain
And no star will fade away.

As the northwind blows
The blackbirds form a darkness overhead
The waters whining restlessly
Chanting the names of the dead
Through the withering leaves, memories whispering
Travelling for years oveseas
How merciless can sorrow be.

Endlessly I roam in search
of the moonlight's way
No rest will come until I find
the treasure of its rays
As long as the sound of silence
keeps me company
I will wait
'Til time
Becomes the end of me.

PART III: THE ENCHANTRESS

THE PRECURSOR:
From your restless dreams you shall awaken, as I speak to warn you... What is envisioned in clairvoyance, will take part now, when the skydwellers are aligned... The mistress of darkness is near...
Roam tranquil, traveller...

*Heavy breathing*
''What... what spirit... was that...
''It was the precursor...''
''Who goes there..?!''
''I am called by many names...''
''W-Who are y... The wraith was right... You're...Her.

''Vaeltaen unohtaa ajat
Kuin ikiyön verhoamat
Silti iäti muistaa huudot
Kaskisavun kuolettamat.

''I've searched through every darkened land
For your ancient signs in the sand
At last now, you have come to me
'Our paths have crossed, it's destiny.

''I humbly offer you my steed
Think of all that we could be
Two greatest of the winds and seas.

''Such melodies echo dead to me, for
with me, not one like you could stay
as my shadows drift in darker shades
My beloved gloom, let me see you
Rise alongside the moon.

PART IV: A BINDING CIRCLE

Thrice I have roamed this forgotten path
The eldest, the wise, they flew to me
Teach they did, their secrets so vast
Sang:
''We are all one, we are eternity.

The path is open, my mind is clear
Came true the omen, as the dark crawled near.

..And she sang...

The precursor of my power
In the land of silver call
Through earth's anger I will rise now
For its followers to fall.

The precursor of my power
In the land of silver call
Through the earth bounds it will rise now
For the darkness it shall fall.

''The precursor of my power
In the land of silver call
Through earth's anger she will rise now
For its followers to fall.

The precursor of my power
In the land of silver call
Through the earth bounds it will rise now
For the darkness it shall fall.

''Harshly he clangs, on hard paths treading
which he has fared before
Two mouths he has, and mightily kisses
And on gold alone he goes.
