Fantastical Letteres of Faerie Lee — Hymn I

How Six is Immortal

Thus began the tale of the Earth

With six the Empyrean Immortals,

Guardians of Ahura, the Uncreated,

Upon the newborn face of the Earth.

To each was His decision to entrust 

An Elemental Heirloom, proper and light.

So, of thorns, trees, and flowers,

The Mistress Mirta was declared; 

And in her trust came to be

The Blossom of Amordad, the Wholesome.

And seas of great width and length,

And to oceans of profound fathoms and depths,

The Governor was Aina, Herself,

And the Keeper of Aleks’ Ewer.

Yet prays of respect be to the Flames

Whose Master was Finn and the Possessor

Of Adnan’s Flame, so rumored was he.

And now let all the sovereigns doff

Their crowns and diadems of precious stones

Before the Mighty Thena, as of earth and rock

Was Daughter-hood her Birthright;

Wielded she the Alborz Coronet,

In her grasp she had its yield.

To disregard nought but the

Empyrean of metals and the sky;

Or may into your arse find

Its way, the grave lightning of rage;

For appointed and anointed was he

The Successor and The Protector

Of Ahura’s Treasured Ring.

Last but not least to clarify His ties

Was left Noah unforgotten but unspoken.

For was his object in grave measure,

As great as though ‘tragodia’ would be

Illumined through his unfriendly roars 

That often failed not to convey

His constant want of civil game.

Alas, let us not leave out 

How the latter of Ahura’s gifts,

Be it not a wonted Heirloom,

Was indeed sorely conscious of life, 

As it could and would affright

Thee to the Tartarean edge

With the destructive spirit of

Its rusty sheen of mane and acute claws.

It would come in thunder, ‘I’m the Manticore!’
