The Elder
'So implored you are by me to cease all protest to my cause-' 'And shall I sit idly by whilst my kingdom's crops die?' 'Sit idly so though not being causeless allow me to-' 'Go! Not a word you speak more, lest you dare face my sword'
In its splendor Jairo wakes as A young man walks his day's first steps With practiced precision, eyes bright Portraying clarity despite a drought of sleep (People cross paths with each other If only to check what must be done Work never ends but with a town Of friends the day's work can be done)
A sudden misstep in consciousness Falling through self Paradigm awakening
And lo! The young man in his moment Of wandering thought became Solitary in his claim to sure footing As all fell beneath this strange power The young man excluded by this force Fled the occurrence with all in witness
With distance fading, in time the young man Sought to understand that which brought About the events of the morning Eyes closed, clear mind to hear Wind blowing, mind floating Dust swirls around the young man's feet Controlling it, in theory
And over time his mastery Of the profound acts he performed Led him to build up quite a profound score With his kinsmen, the latter of whom Wouldn't accept a troublemaker From any woman's womb The many signs of problems Finally reached the King Through word of his subjects Leading to his arrest
The king, sensing his power disrupted By this usurper of peace quickly moved To have the flow of chaos cut off at Its source, exiling the young man
The young man upon hearing of the warrant For his immediate removal from Jairo Decided to spite this by stealthily Exiting the town himself with aid from his newfound power
Several days passed until a shopkeeper Came forth claiming to witness the Exile To be leaving Jairo seemingly under his own pretense With the nuisance however removed, the king Sought to reassure his kingdom
A speech was delivered by the king Which quelled most rumors of instability
Though this succeeded in suppressing the masses There were a few who doubted the king's word
The shopkeeper in witness of the exile's flight Together with a close group of friends supposed Some of the occurrences surrounding the exile Were not pure happenstance (There has to be a way!) Aether, it shall be called The way in which the exile was special Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com How forces bent to his will as though controlled We can control the controller In secret we shall become (We will learn to control)
Time has passed, nothing lasts A storm blows; A secret no one knows
Jairo has unwittingly traded Their king of deceit for a king of gluttony; due to his actions The community and surrounding Lands have been deprived of wealth For too long; should this go on The once prosperous people and lands Of Jairo shall become a barren Landmark reminding all what greed caused
In secret the Cult of Aether As they called themselves To search for the answer long-awaited: How to control this force
When suddenly Accidental resolution on a Mental plane within one member causes The mystery of aether to be solved Recorded thusly The long sought secret of Aether is now known
Though the controls were bestowed by chance to One member and thus to all the unknown Possibilities kept most from the practice Nonetheless, all in witness of the Knowledge were grateful to have All the potential of the great mystery of Aether to be realized
A traveler passes through a drought-stricken Jairo Months later bearing odd news of an old man seemingly Unaffected by the drought, living in a cave no less! The man is taken by the king and held, never to bear testimony again
The cult, hearing of the traveler's tale decided to search For a man who controlled the sky and earth And so they departed on their secret quest Finally they stumbled into his cave after three days without rest Should you not heed our call Jairo falls the men explained Convincing The Elder to return to-
'This land is mine as well as anyone in it Protest more and find yourself locked up in the dungeon, kid You've got a lot of nerve,' the king said as he spit 'But what you speak of, Aether, it doesn't exist'
The former king's words rang in the Old Man's head As though yesterday, even so long ago Tension and suspension accompanied the Man on his journey home
Free your mind Watch and learn Let it flow
In light of recent events the townsfolk of Jairo Proclaimed the hero of the city was to reign (reign...) However The Elder so titled only Stayed so long as to make sure Jairo Was settled and then bid his home farewell For he had learned his true home was In his peaceful cave passing through The ages, never to be seen
