Mount Arcanis Speaks

From The Immortal Series, this is Part 1 Mount Arcanis Speaks Never man ascend my slopes, nor eyes set on my peak Never human feet destroy the realm of which gods speak And never shall a human know of secrets hidden deep Along the paths Immortals tread when mortals care to sleep. Fear not Valrou’hain, trust my guards to shield this godly treasure And keeps the vows Arcanis made from risk of your displeasure O Mighty gods watch over one who stands against the blight Who guides his servants by command and severs wrong from right. Come winds, blow hard and scour each scarp, leave no sharp crag to hold Come snow with hail, defend me now, from mortal footstep bold. This mount has stood untrod by man for centuries’ elation And this intruder shall not come to mar its reputation. Be still now, here comes mortal man, deception in his breast Behind his mask of noble deed, a vile and thieving quest He’s doubtless heard a whispered tale of lustrous treasure hidden No warning shall Arcanis give - intrusion is forbidden And man must learn that he is small, a minute grain of sand He’s taking on the gods when he does battle for this land.
