Forged of the basic elements of the seasons,

Exceptional design for an epic reason.

Built on the desires and needs to survive,

Constructed on the principles that we are alive.

Brought up from the dust of the land,

Returning on death to the element of sand.

Circle around which everything rotates still,

Be it the love of life or the thrill of the kill.

Entrapped and entangled and ensnared we are,

Forged by the earth, beneath the solemn star.

Element of life brings breath to our lungs,

Fills our veins, within which the lifeblood runs.

Element of emotion enhanced by pure passion,

Passion pushes all to the limits of rationalization.

Element of mortality routed in the stark reality,

Life and then so death is an assured guarantee.

Element of surprise that mystifies us all,

Deviously unexpected with no warning nor call.

The elements surround us and bind us together,

Bound forever together with the iron tether.

Perfect design forming the echelon of the past,

Towering into the future, forever now to last.

Created of the stone and sky and sea and land,

Derived from the elements that were all at hand.

Opposite elements intertwined and melded within,

Be it devastation or the new creation of brotherly kin.

Kept as prisoners willingly within the nights folds,

Never really knowing what the night or light holds.

Elements of light illuminate our cold hearts,

Piercing through the dark before it even starts.

Elements of disaster shatter the doors of our soul,

Forcing the change through destruction’s acts so bold.

Elements of the shadow that hide all our thoughts,

Holds in our decisive triumphs and our cast of lots.

 Elements of the sky bring the open air to life again,

As our souls and hearts and minds start to blend.

Withdrawn within the depths of the souls remorse,

The building of elements is nature’s only recourse.

Monstrous monuments of power and might are here,

Built on the elements of the past and the element of fear.

Castles of pure perfection and delight and splendor,

From the elements of the mind and their master Scindr.

Elements of the thoughts once known are here kept,

Kept without any undying or impassionate regret.

Forged and beaten into memory by pain staking tasks,

So, fearing the loss of memory and the failure of this task.

Forged the elements within the walls of stone,

Hewn heavy, built tall, forged stronger than any known.

Elements here within the castle are so blended,

So that the heart and soul can be so mended.

So then here is the task for the reader to unveil,

Unlock and decipher the secrets within without fail.

Find the elements and name them, find them all,

Seek out the inhabitants for they will beckon to your call.

Reach out and touch the objects near and around,

Touch, taste, sense and feel everything that is all around.

Shatter the walls and break the barriers within,

Find the secrets, the glories and all the deepest sin.

Elements of passion and elements of regret,

The elements of the fire and the elements of forget.

Bound within the castle Tashian Del Amial. 

Forever my heaven and alone it is my hell.

Forged of the basic elements of the season,

It transcends mere logic or manifested reason.

Forever the need and desire to forever survive,

This element is the masters eternal internal drive.

Created from the ashes and the elements of the dust,

Sharp is the mad mans mind so knowledge won’t rust.

Sifting sand and shrift of the land is in my hourglass,

But, soon this sand will to slip silently past.

Element of time and element of the past unknown,

Are the seeds for the forests of the seeds once sown.

One thousand roses still are there in the garden,

Though the walls of the heart within are so harden.

Look deep inside at all of the clews of the Knight,

In his perilous  and deadly Dragons deadly fight.

Lessons there are so learned in the perfect hindsight,

Of the constant value of the element of flight.

Or see the one watchman on his eternal post,

Never to brag and never will he ever boast.

Elements of the clues are all within the words of the book,

It is the mortals and the mad mans lone hook.

Element of life is then here within contained,

With the blood of the innocent everywhere stained.

Yet the breath that was once breathed as before,

Breathing minutes as they pass, seconds as they soar.

Element of life then is nothing more than all within,

Within the castles walls that shall never bend.

So then seek the elements of Scindr’s heaven or hell,

In dark towers and light spires of Tashian Del Amial.
