Shattered Crystal
Shattered Crystal 1
The Orb
Crazed lines across the surface,
Yellowed in spots from age and dirt,
But still there lingers a bit of power.
Touch it!
Can you feel the tingle?
It sings through the nerves
Like electricity standing hairs on end.
SURGE
wane
SURGE
Smell.
The slight odor of ozone
Still lingers about its surface.
Feel the vibration upon the skin?
Beware; this orb is of the old ones.
Long before you were born they died!
Long before we came to this land, they warred!
See the burned scars upon the land?
See the crags pushed up by a gigantic force?
See the barrens where nothing lives,
Not even the smallest insect.
Their wars were most terrible.
Beware; these stones are not for our kind.
We cannot use them as did the old ones.
Beware; the one who tries is consumed
And only ashes remain of who once was.
Beware, I tell you...BEWARE
