The Nightwalker and the Wolf
An Unexpected Destiny
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
