To Cleanse A Heart
Upon a flowering field, o' the Sun did rise
The gentle grace of light's pure tides
Did still offer woe.
Beyond the woe, a heart did feel
Upon a ridgeline, the sky still teal
But was it all there was?
Severance
And so did the Shaman walk, finding that field of clouds he was ever so fond of.
The realm of his first pact laid before him.
The Spirit of the land, lesser to Aztran, stood proud.
"I know why you have come," Decreed the Lesser, "Are you certain?"
"Never," replied the Shaman, "But, when one door opens—"
"Another must close." they say in unison.
And so did the Shaman revoke his tenets to Aztran, bringer of light and shepherd of stars.
Connection
Once it was done, t'was time to walk again. Moving forward to the realm of Akezo.
Though the relationship between the Shaman and this Lesser was strained, after years of sour apples being brought, he had to try.
Instead, what was done was spectacular.
Upon walking: a new plane, from a new Lesser, found after being forgotten.
A shame that it was forgotten. A blessing it shall be remembered.
Upon finding the Spirit, the Shaman extended his hand forward... and dim light was established in the realm.
A new connection birthed a new pact to replace the old.
"Life, shaman. Protect life, safeguard it, hold it true. Bring me, K'Tiri, lesser to Akezo, champions."
"It shall be so."
