Esha, with your flowing brown curls

You're one of those vampire girls

The solid rock that gives support

Hugs from you don’t fall short

You're more precious than pearls

Your beauty rivals that of Aphrodite

Your sister thinks you're quite mighty

Even if you don’t really see all that

You got Gryffindor from the sorting hat

Due to your bravery and loyalty

For your birthday, a poetic fantasy

One of wolf and vampire valency

Stories of vampire and wolf abound

But we shall spin the genre around

One that ends in spiritual amnesty

It all started when Jupiter came

To curse the mortal by full name

For Atticus Marcus had killed

And his sins were to be billed

And only he was truly to blame

In all his hatred for the facades

He had stolen from the gods

And killed innocent people

In the street and the steeple

A curse was unanimous by nods

As Jupiter carried out the curse

Atticus' body became perverse

The man had become a beast

But he was still alive at least

Lonely lands he would traverse

After 300 years, he got another chance

When he met a vampire from France

By accident they fell deeply in love

The night walker became his dove

As they entered a unholy romance

For another 500 years they tried

But couldn’t leave the other's side

Each night they would lie together

Dreading when they cross the nether

And their existence be nullified

One day seemingly out of the blue

Their predicament was given a clue

Came the prophecy of the soul fire

A pairing that would become dire

What night stalker and the wolf do

The prophecy tells of a great shift

Two bloods flowing into the rift

Activating the ancient glyph wards

To cool the planet going forwards

And slowing the continental drift

Fulling the prophecy was the quest

And they vowed to do their very best

Years were spent finding the place

Even using satellites in orbital space

But eventually the found the nest

Hidden deep under glacial ice sheets

They found a sequence that repeats

They knew they had found the rift

So they packed up and made swift

They traveled with a group of elites

They made their way into the ice cave

So that all of humanity they could save

Upon entering the inner corridor

A sign read "chamber of the sorcerer"

They saw images of an ancient conclave

With glyphs in their super human sight

They move in closer to perform the rite

As daggers slide across their hands

They read the ancient commands

Causing the glyphs to emanate light

A beam of light shoots into the sky

The wolf is no longer the bad guy

As the CO2 is absorbed into the light

The event is a spectacle of eye sight

And catches that of Jupiter's eye

As global cooling is set in motion

Jupiter has one hell of a notion

To release the man from the beast

From his curse he shall be released

And to a god be given the promotion

Atticus now redeemed and thus free

Would see the heavens ever so lovely

With Esha by his purely human side

In with the gods they will now slide

Once a beast, now with spiritual amnesty
