Shade

Below the eyes of gods.

And the sight of men.
Walk the men and women.
Cursed with hearts of shadow.
Made of night and shadow.
They plot.
Scheme.
Kill.
Below the sight of gods.
And men.
Stalk the shadovar.
Cold killers.
Without remorse.
Bring the storm they hear.
A message delivered to nightseer.
From lady loss.
Drench the land in never ending night.
Beyond the sight of gods and men.
Secrets are kept.
Spoiling.
Souring.
Poising all they touch.
And lady loss grows stronger.
As others grow weaker.
Sharrans work in darkness.
Undermining the followers of light.
In the sight of a god and his hands.
Eyes fall upon the work.
A new type of shadow spreads.
Maskarrans fight the night.
Working against shade enclave.
Holding back the storm.
They live on the run.
Hunted across the land.
Fugitives of darkness who may not flee into the light.
Run the shadows living shadows.
Walk the shadovar.
Shade against shade.
Nightwalker against nightwalker.
Coldest of the cold.
Two gods are at war.
This land will pay the price.
Unless the storms are stopped.
So,
Run the heroes.
Till the shadows stop and fade away.
But we shall learn that not all shadows.
Serve,
Mask,
The Shadowlord.
