she calls out to me the daughter birthed of scales and ice luscious locks of night flowing like veins across an infant world

singing alongside the embers a chant of dying gods and fading spells
beneath the skin of the world i asked the ash what it remembered before the fires
i write these words in the hope that they may cull your flesh of ego
this day today in this very moment the breath of chaos is calm and warm
a river of silver flows upwards a name is a shadow kindled and cast
a wolf silver as spilled moonlight dances with the embers of a wyrm
riddle me in lightning ground me in fire for i am the arcane fire
for every spell a price to pay cryptic runes siphon the life force from flesh
parchment torn from thunderclouds the raven quill writhes and wails in ink
