Trembling in gasp, I awoke from my stupor,

Embraced by cold upon that wintry night.

I looked, and saw naught but the dark expanse

Span beyond the vast swathes of earth.

Something wrought then in the annals of my soul,

My spirit withering, wilting for a kinsmen lost.
 

Curious to know what event spurred this apparition,

I reflected in pensive rumination in search of lore.

T’was then that the news reached mine ears

Of a hallowed elf from whom vice cowered.

The valiant man who embodied aspiration,

Felled by the very adherents he had fostered.

 

What a bitter close, a page unwritten;

A fates that did not meet a fitting end.

Say it would not be so, for this soul to be lost;

For them to perpetually toil in that cursed limbo.

I wept for the tales yet to be had,

And the many lores that were unyielded.

 

I mused the thought, mind churned in reflection.

What more could be done on this final night?

‘Was there any hope to remain?’

I considered, but my spirit then did attend;

‘Let no valiant spirit or knightly virtue,

Be lost to that which dwells in vice’.

 

And so it was then I knew my ordinance,

And heeding that call, I upheld its decree;

To yield the flesh, but spirit sustain,

And bring about that man again.

Come brethren, we have rites to attend.

This shall not be the last.

Verily, indeed then, did it come to pass,

That the man's hound had come to rest at last.

'Twixt entrapments of foulest ilk and horrid birth,

A Raevish mutt sat, next to him, within the earth.

 

For indeed, 'midst fur of blackened shade,

Did this wolven servant do as bade. 

Shackled, yet free, it roamed the horrific wastes,

In servitude to shepherds, it had found its taste. 

 

So, too, it sat, on the brink of vilest ascension,

That which had been borne of esoteric intervention. 

At the precipice of annihilation, it spoke henceforth in tone most fell...

 

"I wish thee luck, dearest friend, fare thee well."
