Chapter 1: Dear Atlas

Chapter Text

Travel by land, by sky, by sea

Travel quite far and come to Me

Lest your tender heart not last

You’ve been here before in times past

Where they all meet is where I be

 

Here she kneaded fire and snow together

To the stone and dark she did tether

You who parts the sands of the hourglass

Through which the harmony of love can pass

Who held on to heart no matter the weather

 

First, ice bore of the darkest night

Blushing below the dancing light

Second, a feather touched by death

Acquired from he who returns breath

Do not carry these in fight or spite

 

Third, a brother bore of fur

Whose courage you must spur

Fourth, a model must be spun

Fifth, a fire not of the sun

Naught of hope, fear does lure

 

Finally by land, by sky, by sea

Finally you come to me

To where you were nearly crushed

To where your life was nearly rushed

Only the end will greet Family
