POEM OF THE GREATS (As Amended October 11th, 2020)

Preamble:

At the island, known as Christie,
The awaited dawn appeared.
As the golden rays covered the land,
Two brothers, known as the Greats, met.

The older, who lived past a catastrophe,
The younger, who was still so young.
Far from sight, of the filthy world,
They came together,
Stretching their arms.
The songs of their sons,
They want to share.

From what they want to abandon,
The endless pain, loneliness and darkness,
And to protect the gold of their people,
They agree to create a bond.
Thus, a spell, together, they cast:
Calling Seraphim, the Angel of Diplomacy.

They look at one another,
They see a brother.
Bond, created together,
Shall be never forgotten!

And to memorize this event,
Seraphim looks from above,
Inking joyfully his papyrus,
Seraphim writes the poem,

Poem of the Greats.
