On eagle's swift and supple wings I tore through the utter black. No clouds above, no ground below the flame's my only light. I fell into nothingness until the impact ceased my fall, into a world unknown to man.... From a forest, unspoiled, unseen, I perceived a whispering, summoning me to follow the path of no return. Step by step I walked this route nobody ever built holding tight onto my shield and sword.... A cloaking darkness embraces me though flames are burning bright, in a distance far a flickering, the blaze my guiding light. Snow, caress me, sharp and cold, in the very depths of my hearth. Tired, frightened now I am; my will now fall's apart.... From a forest, unspoiled, unseen, I perceive a whispering summoning me to follow the path of no return. Step by step I walk this route nobody ever built holding tight onto my shield and sword....
