Chapter 1: The Watcher

Chapter Text

Cold, shivering in heaves

Traversing the coal black cliffs

High and silent

From the sky

A sharp eye peers at us

Watching and waiting

For us to fall

Into the pit of fate.

 

Aés a laraísé na xasukynla

Ór̂a bín kríñûnla kaípisé

Aŝe a äska

Ró óminala,

Memtiatap pinet ímas kízûsé

Ítap a dir̂atap

Kryhûkyet pinmu

Kó bí luóla qestämí.
