Ashes of the Wake
==================================
I would like to tell you a story
Of a young man born with a power
To channel the sun
His name was Regan Noel
And he was born in the light
His destiny written prehumously
Foretold to end the destruction
And oppression
Of a tyranny called The Wake
Yet his ability was beyond control
He hurt those closest to him by proximity
Causing the prophets to denounce him
Fortunately for Regan
There was a saving grace
A solution to his madness
A drug or drink
Dulled his ability
Allowing him to think
As the war raged on
His vision cleared
He'd do anything to be a hero
So he stepped onto the field
To face The Wake
And free his people
In a blinding flash
His presence was known
Replacing evil with beauty
As the glare receded
Regan stood alone
His destiny complete
Later he announced
To his people
Theres only ashes of The Wake
===================================
Waking The Fallen
===================================
This is a continuation
For the story of the sun born
Regan Noel
For after his victory
That left only ashes
A new Wake formed
Sour from defeat
Craving to regain control
Of slaves recently free
They ambushed our hero
Then threw him in a cell
Blocked from his light
He felt powerless
For the first time
But he was not alone
Chained next to him
Was a wizard of dark ability
Named Nicklaus McCanter
Like Regan
His power was foretold
Deriving magic from the moon
"We must do something"
Nicklaus pled
"Rather than sit here virtually dead"
So together they formed a plan
A way of escaping
The ties that bound them
Absent power
They used their minds
Tricking the turnkey to set them loose
Once free
The new brothers set a course
For vengeance against oppression
In tandem they lay waste
To a fallen army risen
From the ashes of The Wake
===================================
Fall of The Wake
===================================
This is the conclusion
To a far away trilogy
Of magic and revolution
You see
The Wake could not contain the sun
But it could control the moon
So it sought to separate the two,
Regan and Nicklaus
In an attempt to disrupt balance
They turned the moon to the dark
Alienating the light
Of brotherhood
Pitting friend against friend
In a battle to the death
Poised to retake control of the aftermath
"Look into the light Nicklaus!"
Regan implored
Yet only hate looked back
"What have they done to you?!"
The hero begged
Not wanting to hurt his partner
"They awakened me!"
Nicklaus screamed
As black ink consumed his flesh
Knowing the battle was at a ******
He had no choice
So Regan summoned his voice
Like a white hot bar of iron
He flashed an image to his companion
A last ditch please for reason
In that instant time was frozen
Two men forged by prophecy
To restore balance
As blinding radiance met absent black
The opposing forces
Canceled out
Restoring sight to Nicklaus
Long enough for a noble sacrifice
That can be seen at night
'For he was a hero too
Giving his life for destiny
By destroying the moon
...
So everytime the moon is new
Just remember it symbolizes
The fall of The Wake
