(from the hour #20 prompt)<\/p>\n
By Sandy Lender, attributing it to Nigel Taiman in my world of Onweald<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When I awoke today the suns didn\u2019t rise<\/p>\n
Darkness clouded every valley<\/p>\n
I had only to pick one to fall into<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When I awoke today your end was still real<\/p>\n
Dezurine wept for our souls together<\/p>\n
And the army of Arcana dispersed<\/p>\n
In despair<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Your quest may be mine now<\/p>\n
And I\u2019ll do what you\u2019ve asked of me<\/p>\n
Because I love you like the suns that will never rise again<\/p>\n
And I love you like the valley clothed in darkness<\/p>\n
Yet I grieve with the anguish of The Dragon<\/p>\n
I could fill another river with my tears<\/p>\n
And dip you \u2019neath its rapids to heal you<\/p>\n
If it means the suns will somehow rise again<\/p>\n
Lighting the valley left around us<\/p>\n
So I can see when you return to me<\/p>\n
