The Ulangar: Book III, Part 2

This continues Book III of the epic I wrote between 1991 and 1996.

Halfway through that day Ulangar spied another soul

in the condition which was earlier Enki's

Upon snatching this one from the vast

and upon her apparition forming her flesh

he experienced the exchange of thought with her

as when Enki glared into Lamaraz's jewels

her deep black hair reflected no light

resembling the Void which surrounded the tiny well

Nefthys and Lamaraz met with rubies

courtship dreamt in woken minds

[add character development between Lam & Nef]

With rosy-fingered Dawn's awakening

whose light fell upon endless burning buildings

covering the landscape

five of the same sire were found

The first was Nergal a gigantic man

with deep ebony skin

from the Western Wastelands

he wielded a huge axe to match his stature

with two blades each five hands long and two hands wide

and a spear point two hands long and a shaft one meter long

[elaborate on story]

The next was Creusa from the Southern Swamps

she had speed beyond compare with long glossy black hair

wielding two rods each two forearms long

with steel talons of an eagle to tip those metal stalks

[blah blah blah story]

Adar was the next brother found

a giant of flame from that Krox Peninsula

with wings spanning ten meters

and a wooden staff unshatterable and tipped with brazen points

which extended to a length of three meters

[blah blah blah]

Fatirac was also discovered and also known as Inan

a manly woman with blazing red hair and a wide jaw

and a stature to match that maw

and in her sinister she wielded a hammer weighing four stones

and its handle was one meter long

She came from the Eastern Barbaric Forests

where men and woman hunt as one

[blah blah blah]

Finally the brown-hairéd Painex was found

who lived in a human village

which lied between those

Giants of Fire on the Krox Peninsula

peaceful at times great wars at others

With skin dark and Golden Glory she carried an

ashen spear eleven forearms long

and tipped with hard steel

and on her left she held a rounded shield

with a brazen boss and steel rimmed with tassels

It hung from its strap while describing the fate of Painex

the wheel revolved depicting the birth from a ravished mother

and her rapid growth was also depicted as was her skill at arms

it showed when she was three completing the Quest of the Warrior

of her entering a cave and battling blindfolded an agéd giant

not of flame but of the mountains and weak in mind but strong in arms

and showing her valiant spear bury itself deep in the breast of the beast

and it showed her gift of the shield

then the bottom half showed things not yet come to pass

of her wandering the desert and the encounter with Re'u Raduti

one of the Ten and of the desert men's tribe

and of her battles with the Giants of Fire

some victorious and others of retreat

and of Siglar's destruction

and of her physical death and spiritual torment

and of her discovery of the Others

and of her battles with Abhorations

and displayed in the center around the boss

was her body sprawled on dust with arrows bristling from her skin
