Succeeding In Darkness's Plea Poem by Tessa Richardson

A sun setting over a blank horizon.
A moon eclipse with powers strenghtened.
A mage awaiting the Darkness's arrival.
A spell cast, A spell failed.

The Darkness grins, as the eclipse passes.
'This time next year, Darkling.'
He vanishes without a trace.
She sighs as she wills Him back
but she is unable. Crying softly,
she sits in wait, but still, the eclipse is gone.

As the time returns, she has practiced
Her dark arts could never fail.
Approaching quickly, as the eclipse wanes,
He stands by her, awaiting the spell.
'Tis time the spell is cast...

The Darkness is engulfed
in a blinding white light.
He screams in pain,
as the eclipse disappears
yet He remains.
It's like a vampire caught in sunlight.

But at her faint whispers
and pleading cries, the pain
vanishes, and He rises to greet her.
'My Darkling you succeeded, now,
we must banish all light...'

He leads her away into the lighted world.
With each parralel universe,
light is banished, His evil still soflty stays.
They smile at Their success,
and yet They have one last battle to fight.

Far away in a distant land,
the ruler of light, frowns upon Their work.
He races across his worlds to confront
the evil that banished all his precious light.
Still, not even the foolish human's god can
save his own creation from Darkness
and His mistress. The god of light
screams as his dying echoes fade
across the horizon.

Another Eclipse overcomes the land...
He kisses His mistress and
disappears, leaving her crying
once more, to await
the next, where He will establish his rule.
A whisper follows her across the world:
'My Darkling, We have won, We are one,
When I return, not even the Eclipse will
draw Me from your side.'

And so it was
And so it is
And so it would always be.
