Salvation will need
ruin, hope fades
without death.
With his coming are
the dread fires born again.
The hills
burn,
and the land turns sere.
The tides of men
run out,
and the hours dwindle.
The wall is pierced,
and the veil of parting raised.
Storms rumble
beyond the horizon,
and the fires of heaven purge
the earth.
There is no salvation without destruction,
no hope
this side of death.
Notes
- The alphabet used is the same found in the Wheel of Time Companion. However, the diphthong and aspirated consonant letter forms are not used.
- The pronoun used for the Dragon is da, indicating the Prophesies did not foretell the Dragon's gender in the show canon.
