A soft voice speaks!

 


(A lone voice whispers)


I

Santiago de Delletoro

The First Torchbearer



See you all like lost little people 



In my ancient obsidian scrying mirror



A mystical treasure now forever lost to humanity 



Men and women



Merged with essences of Light and Darkness at different levels



Some dearly loved because of it and some truly hated



With opinions that are so well calculated and littered with extreme profanity



And what many of you do not know


What you are all oblivious to


Is that a delicious scent of your life



Lingers all around you



Like an expensive perfume



As I from in here



Watch in this very small diamond encrusted room



Its tantalising aroma seducing fragrances 



Always prompt me



Encouraging me to reach out and touch




But it's against the unspoken rules 



For so many of you may start to love me too much 



And even though it's something truly spectacular 



Upon which to dearly clutch



Throughout my many adventures out there


On Mother Earth



I've found people are so quick to judge



I met Morpheus so late one night at The Taven


And he told me



He too was afraid of love



Froze

When the red spotlight caught his undulating dreamlike shadow



In the early morning fluctuating rainbows



At the intersection of Earths barriers and the Great In-Between



In the shallow hours


When his powers were growing weak as the living world


Slept and the portals opened



For once silent voices to speak



A wild spirit called Rosella



Roaming the demilitarized zone



Chased him down demanding a joining of souls



All he had to do was pay the toll and the sprite would take total control



Morpheus is beside me now as I talk


Oh what game 



He escaped by scattering some Dyllo powder and using a purple orb.



I don't think we'll be back to drink at the Lost Souls Taven for a least a week 



For we both heard that sprite was asking around



Using his hidden first name


Talik



Well

Until the next time for I must be going


The suns nearly up and my host is about to wake



I'll be seeing you all and watching



And if you hear a whisper before your sweet eyes close


Just know it's me


Santiago de Delletoro

The First Torchbearer


The world's most notorious ghost


Always watching your world spin

Through his black scrying mirror
