A poem inspired by a tense meeting...when a simple bard encountered a
Demi-god of incredible power...written by this bard in ancient times, and
once shared by an alter ego...long since deceased.   We are powerful warriors
indeed, but there is greater might still...   ;>



               Shades of Might


    Our presence has been felt for ages
    So subtle most have never known
    Several faces, so many forms
    While ancient oaks have died and others grown

    Some are good and some are evil
    Others somehow fall in between
    Sharing certain bonds few will admit
    Strands of thoughts, strands of dreams

    Illusions and maneuverings surround us all
    These intricate webs cover the land
    We move in the darkness and welcome the light
    So many skills are in demand

    Flames of disintegration have howled around us
    Fueled by a razor edged magical power
    We have stood alone with vampires in the dark
    And laughed as they averted their charming eyes

    Kings and queens speak to us in shadows
    With royal respect and clandestine fear
    Our gods are close to us, we all have favor
    Spirits sing songs only we hear

    Now we relax as the dark sun sets again
    Knowing that we shall rise tomorrow, even as it will
    Fearsome new powers emerge as others wane
    And through it all we still remain...
