Twice and Twice he shall be marked, Twice to live and Twice to die. Once the Heron to set his path, Twice the heron to name him true. Once the Dragon for remembrence lost, twice the Dragon for the price he must pay.

And it shall come to pass in those days, as it has come before and will come again, that the Dark lay heavy on the land and weighed down on the hearts of men, the green things failed, and hope died. And men cried out to the Creator, saying, O Light of the Heavens, Light of the World, let the Promised one be born on the mountain, according to the prophecies, as he was in ages past, and will be in ages to come. Let the Prince of the Morning sing to the land that green things will grow and the valleys give forth lambs. Let the arm of the Lord of the Dawn shelter us from the Dark, and the great sword of justice defend us. Let the Dradon ride again on the winds of time
~Author unknown, Fourth Age

The Shadow will rise across the world, and darken every land, even to the smallest corner, and their shall be neither light nor safety. And he who shall be born of the Dawn, born of the maiden, according to prophecy, he shall strech forth his hands to catch the shadow, and the world shall scream in pain of salvation. All Glory be to the Creator, and to the Light, and he shall be born again. May the Light save us from him.
~High Queen of Jaramide, the Third Age

With his comming are the dread fires born again. The hills burn, and the land turns sere. The tides of men run out, and the hours dwindle. The wall is peirced, and the veil of parting raised. Storms rumble beyond the horizon, and the Fires of Heaven purge the Earth.There is no salvation without destruction, no hope this side of death.
~N'Delia Basolaine

And Glory of the Light did shine upon him.
And the Peace of the Light did he give men.
Binding nations to him. Making one of Many.
Yet the shards of the heart did give wounds.
And what was once did come again.
~in Fire and in Storm
splitting all in twain
For his peace...
~for his peace...
...was the peace...
...was the peace...
...of the sword...
And the Glory of the light did shine upon him.

~Meane sol Ahelle, the Fourth Age

The lion sang and the hills took flight.
The moon by day, and the sun by night.
Blind woman, deaf man, jackdaw fool.
Let the Lord of Chaos rule.
~High Chant heard in Great Arvalon. The fourth Age.

The unstained tower breaks and bends knee to the forgotton sign.
The seas rage, and the stormclouds gather unseen.
Beyond the horizon,hidden fires swell, and serpents nestle in the bosom.
What was exhaulted is cast down; what was cast down is raised up
Order burns to clear his path
~ Jeorad Manyard, Govonor of the Province of Andor for the High King, Atur Paendrag Tanreall

There shall be no health in us, nor any good things grow, for the land is one with the Dragon Reborn, and he is one with the land. Soul of fire, heart of stone, in pride he conquers, forcing the proud to yeild. He calls upon the mountains to kneel, and the seas to give way, and the very skies to bow. Pray that the heart of stone remembers tears, and the soul of fire, love.
~Kyera Termendal, of Shiota.

Master of lightnings, rider on the storm,
wearer of a crown of swords, spinner-out of fate.
Who thinks he turns the Wheel of Time,
may learn the truth to late.
~Lord Mangore Kiramin, Warder to Caraighan Manconar

The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and go...


...What was, what will be, and what is,
May yet fall under the Shadow.

~Let the Dragon Ride again on the winds of Time
