Tales written in the roots

lay down your arms of steel,
forget those endless wars,
come sit beneath my leaves that weep,
for after tonight you will not fight any more.

sit at the base of my trunk,
for i have a tale to share,
about the battle from long ago,
that was won by a miss so fair.

with a beautiful name of Arlena,
she was the kingdoms darling queen.
she also held a secret power,
one that she kept unseen.

a lover of the earth,
a mother to all nature,
she had control of all elements,
it was a strong gift given to her.

she never missused it,
she always had good intentions,
but when the dark lord Xavier started a war,
her powers was the only thing that could save them.

a battle in the land of Cidistal,
a fight that had caused death,
and the miss Arlena's blood was shed,
but that wasnt her last breath.

elemental against elemental,
she fought with all of her might,
and she made her final blow,
that ended this powerful fight.

laying upon the barren earth,
she closes her eyes to the sky,
she had finally won the battle,
and she gives a long sigh.

opening her eyes to the world,
she listens to the still of the night,
knowing that she doesnt have much time left,
and soon this will be the end of her life.

finally when the sun rises,
her eyes begin to close,
her soul is given to the earth,
and in its place a forest grows.

so think about the past lives,
and this forest that you hunt in.
this land is a legacy to all,
so lets stop using land as if it were nothing.
