The Madman atop the Peak

A Historical Poem by a Friendly Thilln

 

Once there was a pallid Elf, of stature and renown.

Who made grand speeches while talking in screeches,

Within his beloved pallid town.

 

This elf of stature had one great flaw; his head was screwed on in vain.

To say he was ‘crazy’ would make this tale hazy,

in all truth, he was utterly insane.

 

The town of pale elves sat pompously upon a vast, unyielding cliff face.

Surrounded on all sides, by those who loathed their hides,

for their arrogance, and acts of distaste.

 

Upon one day came the Oren King, with many a soldier to bear.

Who demanded they stop their philosophical rot,

Or face the void of despair.

The haughty Madman - ruler of elves – was anything but placid.
For the King’s ‘crimes,’ and poorly thought rhymes,
he was dissolved in acid.
   

The dead king's people, angered and weeping, raised their war banners high.

Pallid elves would pay, for bringing dismay.

Each and every one would die.

 

Came they did to the cliff and white walls, to bring their vengeance with glee.

The elves yelled jeers, gathered their spears,

and were slaughtered gratuitously.

 

The Madman refused to negotiate, and change his people’s fate.
The elves were furious at the Madman’s spuriousness,
and he was thrown off the top of the gate.

The new King was forgiving of the pallid elves despite their terrible crime.

He made them a vassal and their town a castle.
A good outcome considering the time.

So the pallid elves continued on, humbled, but much the same.
Some might object, but none ought forget,

That Madman atop the Peak.

Dimaethor Visaj shook his head, a frown decorating his pale face, the poem giving him dear memories of his deceased relative.

 

“We ought not to forget the heroic nature in dear Damasus’ action. Silver and Sovereignty must be kept intact – anything else would be an insult to his legacy.”

“What the hell is a Demasus?” Croaked the writer. “This is about Kalenz Uradir! Damn youths.”
