This continues the epic I wrote between 1991 and 1996. There may be some lines that look like typos (such as "andc"), but these were deliberate.
``Long ago before this world
before this universe there was a planet
an universe separate from our own
On this planet this glove of earth and sea
lived many creatures of the same origin
But one particular species on this world
was very close to your human race
They built structures of concrete and plants
transported themselves on beasts of burden
They warred amongst themselves
But in one aspect they were different
They studied the arts of the Body Whole
From the mind came psychic energy
from the soul came magical energy
from the body came physical energy
Amongst these people there was a myth
that the magical essence of men long dead
journey to one gaseous cloud just outside their atmosphere
This place was called Davinar of the faceless Moon
When that old Universe's end was near
the red having shifted to blue
The cloud condensed and grew conscious of itself
and split apart into ten brothers
each entity identical in form
Then these forms descended upon the globe
One piece of ten went into a street
cluttered with the aftermath of the looting of the town
It went to a woman who lay on the street
who slept with eyes shut and clothes torn
by the Man dressed in black and green
the colors of the Gastrov
the enforcers of the new faces of power
who dethroned the ancient line of kings
whose predecessors outlawed magic
and items that were used with this energy
they killed and prosecuted the mages
and destroyed the items of magic
but those that could not be destroyed
were buried deep in the earth
never to see the star of dawn again
The astral entity came up to the woman
unseen by unknown powers
and it entered into the womb of the woman
where it entered the now fertile egg
mixing and mutating the chemicals therein
forming something not as planned
The pregnancy lasted from the null moon to the full moon
and because of this rapid rate of development
the profesionals thought the babe a still-born
but the son was the only survivor of the ordeal
The babe was given to the aunt
where she nurtured him on Siglar
for three and one half revolutions when he appeared the
age of a sixteen year old
and had the intellect of a thirty year old
Many men of the scholarly way
wished to study this oddity of nature
but this aunt did not subdue to their wiles
Instead she sent him to the school
of Norkain the sage
the educator of the world of Siglar
when the first triad closed the books
and the new one bloomed
