The Man With the Undying Fire

The call began to fill the air

Septimus, the man from beyond the veil

Flew through the ranks of the enemy

As if carried by lightning

That holy fire from the sky

The legionnaires had never seen a man shine so bright

He seemed to laugh and joy as he danced on air

Sending the dark creatures back to the light

"So long I've waited to return to the fight!"

He cried as the soldiers joined him

Though none could match him

Gaius, the commander, at first saw his delight with a dark eye

But when he beheld the snarling maw of the enemy

He too drew his sword and let forth a cry

"Come!" called the man from beyond. "Sons of the Earth! We go on to glory! To the Shining Steps and the Golden Gate! To the fire unending! The Sunlight Halls await!"
