Under the verdant trees,

Do the beasts and foul creatures hide,

Heeding the call of those beyond the far reach,

Bowing before none, and kneeling towards one.

A calamity, greater than one could ever imagine,

Impending doom for all, 

The descent of Thesmophoros cannot be stopped,

Run, hide, whatever it is you may do, matter it does not,

For nature finds all, 

And it shall take back all that was once theirs.

Under the verdant moon,

Lay dormant, the calamity sealed,

Awaiting the day she can begin her descent,

A land laid to waste, where nature can once again regain control.

Mortals taken aback,

The voices of nature whispers,

A sacred relic, hidden across the fractured peaks

Where civilization thrived,

And where it fell.

Under the verdant town,

Hide the citizens, weary of the days long past,

Heeding the warnings of the whispers,

They take refuge, praying to the gods, without knowing that they too have been abandoned.

The breeze between the trees,

Sweep those who fall forth,

Betwixt the mountains and forests,

Nature whispers.

A swift fox, running towards the trees,

Disappearing neck deep into the great forest,

Hidden among the shadows,

Among the crevices of the rocks and branches,

Lay The Noble One.

A verdant mountain,

Obscuring the view of what is beyond,

Looking past the land, 

One will see the value of the little pebbles and branches.

Mortals across the boundary,

Across even the lost lands and across the Ethersea,

Far from the Deimos’ watchful eyes,

The one who sits atop the throne, 

Hakaishin, one who destroys all;

He who knows not of peace.

The verdant kingdoms,

Rulers not heeding the whispers and warnings,

Destruction awaiting them,

As they and their warriors march to their impending doom.

Desolation, what is a ruler, to a god?

No match for the gods, they looks to religion, 

Building a following amongst the people,

Giving them false hope, and a false god.

Under the verdant skies,

A boy blessed with the powers of gales and tempests,

Will he be able to survive?

A chaos-ridden world awaits him;

The boy who caught the storm.
