You said \u201cGoodbye Sara\u201d and the ground opened up<\/p>\n
a chasm between us. I was knocked off my feet.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Meanwhile elsewhere:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A horn-headed woman with a gown of stars<\/p>\n
lay back and birthed a flaming sword.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A bright-shining Prince took up her sword and mounted a white horse<\/p>\n
under eight burning suns that scorched the sky together.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Where He led the charge, Demons and Giants clashed,<\/p>\n
hooves churned sparks from the rubble of ruined cities.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
While the entire seething mass of sinning men cried out<\/p>\n
for mercy, and found none, running underfoot like rats on the battlefield.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They were trampled into the bloodsoaked earth<\/p>\n
bodies broken, their sufferings just begun.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When seven suns set, Fenris slipped his chain<\/p>\n
and ate the last, and in darkness, the snow began to fall.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In that frozen silence I received your letter, and here is my reply:<\/p>\n
