 Chapter 1

    1


    Once upon a time


    In a land distant to all


    Lived a young enchantress whose beauty chimed


    And a kind prince whose virtue stood tall


    <hr>


    Happily in each other they lived


    Gently tending to their people


    Unaware of the jealousy conceived


    In the heart of one of her fellow pupil

    <hr>


    For the young sorcerer for himself wanted to claim


    The tender fairness of the enchantress


    Disregarding her wishes and willing to maim


    Her lover if it meant from her he would get a caress


    <hr>


    And so, in cruel mutiny to her heart and the country


    The sorcerer upheld a vicious coop


    And with murderous intent and a bloodlust cry


    He felled the gentle prince in one fell swoop


    <hr>


    Wounded by the slaughter of her beloved


    The enchantress cried out in rage


    That she would never let herself by the sorcerer be loved


    Not even after she perished of old age


    <hr>


    And just as the fair Enchantress felt her heart tear inside her


    An unrelenting anger burned in the sorcerer''s selfish gaze


    As he dastardly declared that she would not perish any sooner


    Than after she lived eternally, as she could only look in a daze


    <hr>


    And so, the wicked sorcerer cursed the beauteous youth


    To a life of never-ending immortality


    Laughing in a manner most uncouth


    Destining her soul to part from her lover¡¯s for eternity

    Yet, the foul sorcerer forgot


    That no matter the harshness of reality


    True love has forever fought


    For its own right to actuality


    <hr>


    And so, although Lady Death reached to claim


    The ill-lucked Prince as her groom


    His tender affection for the Enchantress to his aid came


    And in a ghostly form, his gentle soul escaped Doom

    <hr>


    Left alone with her fate, the Enchantress in the floor kneeled in pain


    Tormented by the unjust incomparable loss


    That no mind having experienced, could ever remain sane


    Suddenly in her hair felt a loving, tender toss


    <hr>


    Looking upwards to meet her fallen lover¡¯s gaze


    A familiar imperceptive frame was what she found


    Her fallen Prince having crossed the Maze


    That all mortals are forced to wander in the Beyond


    <hr>


    Yet by loving affection having prevailed


    The tenacious Prince in front of his beloved stood


    A soft and warm smile covered his face like a veil


    As his invisible hand moved to caress her face in the only way he could


    <hr>


    A transmutation in her tormented face occurred


    The darkness that clouded her features turned to light


    Like an albedo alchemical transformation had just stirred


    The marriage of Mercury and Sulphur, as they lovingly unite


    <hr>


    A retribution to his fond smile into her face a way found


    As once desperate tears into grateful ones turned


    Her own hand moving to touch his without a sound


    As the lost lovers, into each other¡¯s embrace returned
