Line 1: |
| <nowiki>O thou, new-born, delaying long,
| |
| Delayest the sorrow in men and shadow blood alike,
| |
| That longs to burst a frozen bud
| |
| And flood a fresher throat with your scythe
| |
|
| |
|
|
| |
| In front of a mirror will be born the infant twin
| |
| from the ancient line, childe fae not born fae.
| |
| so destined is the messiah to Eredane
| |
| they will say the living twin deserves the day.
| |
|
| |
| Through a slit in the Sarcoson belly
| |
| The childe born with fang:
| |
| Called by a barbaric name from the dead twin.
| |
| The forebears come forth from the depths of hell.
| |
|
| |
| The Enemy is troubled by this Queen's gambit.
| |
| The Scrollbearers will fear for their lives.
| |
| The darker brethren will doubly disguise his action,
| |
| His and her kin face the traitor in anger, and fear.
| |
|
| |
| Sorrow and revolution caused by the scythe bearer
| |
| making a change not seen in centuries.
| |
| The mobile sign thus moves into the messiah house:
| |
| Equal in favor to both sides.
| |
|
| |
| When the great wooden columns tremble
| |
| in the western wind, covered with blood.
| |
| Such a great assembly then pours forth
| |
| that Sharuun and the Westlands will tremble.
| |
|
| |
| When the great Queen sees herself conquered,
| |
| she will show an excess of masculine courage.
| |
| Naked, on horseback, she will pass over the river
| |
| pursued by the sword: her faith outraged.
| |
|
| |
| A founder of sects, much trouble for the accuser:
| |
| A beast in the theater prepares the scene and plot.
| |
| The author ennobled by acts of older times;
| |
| the world is confused by schismatic sects.
| |
|
| |
| Beasts ferocious from hunger will swim across rivers:
| |
| The greater region will be lead by the Ardoome,
| |
| The great one causing it dragged in an iron cage,
| |
| The Kasmaelian childe will observe its own tide.
| |
|
| |
| Earthshaking fire from the center of the Eredane
| |
| will cause tremors around the High City.
| |
| Two great rocks will war for a long time,
| |
| then Pelluria will redden a new river.
| |
|
| |
| In the land with a climate opposite to Sharuun
| |
| there will be great shedding of blood.
| |
| The heavens unjust on land, sea and in the air.
| |
| Sects, famine, kingdoms, plagues, confusion.
| |
|
| |
| At night they will think they have seen the sun,
| |
| when they see the half pig man:
| |
| Noise, screams, battles seen fought in the skies.
| |
| The brute beasts will be heard to speak.
| |
|
| |
| A coffin is put into the vault of iron,
| |
| where seven children of the kings of night are held.
| |
| Sharuun, Caradul and ruler of Highwall will form.
| |
| lamenting to see thus dead the fruit of their line.
| |
|
| |
| From the Aruun will come that Sussan heart
| |
| trouble Slyvan and the heirs of the men of stone.
| |
| Hunting scrollbearers, with fleet of Pellurian
| |
| the temples of the Erethor and the holds of Kaladrun shall run or run red.
| |
|
| |
| The motion of senses, heart, feet and hands
| |
| will be in agreement between Caradul and Calador.
| |
| Swords fire, floods, the Pellurian shore drowned,
| |
| killed or dead because of a weak heart.
| |
|
| |
| The treacherous one, who is offered rule,
| |
| quickly raised from low to high estate.
| |
| He will suddenly turn disloyal and volatile.
| |
| This man will govern the horde white or night.
| |
|
| |
| The rock of the world holds in its depths white
| |
| which will come out milk-white from a cleft
| |
| Needlessly troubled people will not dare touch it,
| |
| unaware that the foundation is of clay not steel.
| |
|
| |
| A thing existing without any senses
| |
| will cause its own end to happen through artifice.
| |
| At the underworld hearts of the Icewall
| |
| there will be great damage from hail and ice.
| |
|
| |
| Beneath the rock, struck in stone, lit in lightning,
| |
| the treasure of treasures is hidden not far.
| |
| The lost things discovered, hidden for many centuries.
| |
| when found, one struck blind, eye pierced by beast.
| |
|
| |
| The great rock, dwarfholds and underdark,
| |
| after peace, war, famine, blood.
| |
| It will spread far, drowning great countries,
| |
| even antiquities and their mighty foundations.</nowiki>
