u wont understand the tellers saga

ok here we go hold on and read


IF I were to do as you ask and wish
That I should take up the mantle of king
So your voices could ring out in jubilant cheers
What then of me
What then of that which I do now
Who amongst you will take up my mantle
who will walk this whole land and beyond
who will look into the shadows without fear
who has the years to know the signs
who can read them to know the truth
no my dear ones kingship is not for me.

Look about yourselves for your king
And so it is your king could even be a queen
There are so many within your tribe
Older and younger all together

Beware the younger one new in your tribe
This one has much power when she speaks
She makes the ground ripple with her tongue
She will lead you all willingly when her time comes
Guide her and lover her well that she is not alone
If you let her take up your will and pay no heed
Then the power may corrupt her will
She knows not the way of the heart yet

Talk to the elders and listen to their telling
They may not be wise and seem lost to all
But there have been many moons past their sleeping pallet
Listen to the stories of the tellers theirs is the truth
There will be many talkers they have no knowledge

Pay heed to the one from just in the west
Out there is honest so clear it can sting
Her bark may be loud and her words harsh
All to hide a gentle generousness
She will tell you clear with no malice intended

Guard yourselves from the eastern landers
Few are real and are lost to the crystal dreams
They no nothing wrong and will drag you in

Now hear me well and watch for this
In the middle lands are three evils
They war amongst themselves to rule each other
If they can they will destroy you and deny you existed
To them you are not real and they fear you and will crush you

Watch to the far western lands at the edge of lands
For there is a strong tribe there
They can be allies to you in your times
They are strong like you and have many leaders

Your strength is your voices and in the telling
One voice is small all together are strong
When you talk as one then you are a mighty roar.

When I came here I was broken from battle
You took me in and made me whole
I must leave now to go back to battle
That trouble is not over and peace must reign there.
I will return when I can.

bad news is riding the waves
there has been an invasion of wrongfulness
within the tribes there are now more wasters
thos that have gone to the shadows
have become deceivers for gems and gold
losing themselves and that which they should be
i may have to leave this tribe to search the source
there has been a weakining of our strength
this betrayal can harm us all

i must go and stay in my garden
i will contemplate why you seem lost
did you lose your spirit when the change came
the spirit powers need all to believe
when i know the truth of this i will tell
maybe the west queen will come to help


for those that have become wasters
know your time to fall will come
when the tribe turns its back on you
and you are empty of yourselves.


The tellers saga.

chapter 2

Kerris looked back one more time
His eyes watered with tears
Ran off his cheeks
For the one he loved and had to leave
The first who took her away
And he feared the first would corrupt
The first knew no other way
Took what she wanted, did not see the wounds she left.
Kerris turned towards his new path and sighed
He wiped the tears from his eyes and started forward
His legs heavy and reluctant to move
He wanted to stay and love the gentle one
But she was still lost and did not know
Lechan came to stand at his side and asked
I would go with you Kerris
In his heart he would welcome her
Butfeared she would get lost in the wilds
He said to her ‘ I do not know where I go’
Lechan turned and sais “then we both do not
I am not afraid when i am with you Kerris
I see your courage and that gives me strength
I am the one you did not see coming
I am the one that loves you
I am the one that watches you
The first will use her charms to destroy you.
Kerris did not understand this.
He decided to sit under the tree and take their supper
He watched her closely
As the nights darkness fell and the fire burning hotly
Lechan pushed her hair off her face
Kerris had been watching and in that instant he saw it.
There was madness in her eyes.
She was one of them. She lived in the juice.
Enslaved by its power and Kerris knew she lied.
Kerris knew she had lied all the time.
She did not want him only his power.
She was the one that had turned the gentle one.
She saw his face change and knew he had seen it all.
Lechan lied more and said it wasn’t true
But Kerris knew it was. He told her to leave.
Lechan left but promised him pain.
Swearing and cursing she walked into the night.
Kerris knew that the first was true.
He could only try to talk to her to apologise
He knew he had been a fool. He went back to her village.
He talked to the first but is was a cool acceptance.
She told him of another village where he should go.
She told him their talk was over and turned her back.
Kerris thankful for not being shunned left.
