Filemma
Filemma

She didn't know, how she could break free
And thought being trapped there, was her destiny
Filemma was special, and yet she didn't know
She hadn't used her powers, so they didn't grow
When they came for her, not too long ago
Shackling her brutally, depressing her very soul
It's not so much, the cause of what she had done
Her captors, always liked a little fun
They blamed her for the uprising, in the southern part
Rising up against their ruler, upsetting the apple cart
She didn't see them hiding, around the corner of her house
They certainly were quiet, these rats were not a mouse
They had her shackled, tightly against the wall
Hanging up high, if she got out she'd surely fall
And yet she had a feeling, that maybe it wouldn't be
Yet what would break these shackles, and would set her free
Her mind took her back, thinking of an earlier time
When her Mother, Fortuana, had given her a sign
She said “We come from a line, of powerful sorcerers”
“We covered our powers, by selling many kinds of furs”
She remembered something as a kid
But wasn't sure what a sorcerer did
Maybe something to do with magic, in a way
Could it be in something, that she would say
Words were forming in her mind
Using her thoughts, she let them unwind
She pushed out at her restraint
Her shackles flew to the wall, like glitter paint
It didn't take much of a push, to set herself free
Now to escape this prison, and then she would see
As she peeked around the corner, she could see a guard
If there was only one, it shouldn't be so hard
She wondered how this sorcery, would work on a living man
So she once again pushed, while doing a body scan
She didn't push too hard, she finally had the knack
That guard toppled over, as if from a heart attack
Who needed weapons, when you had the power of sorcery
So powerful this magic, that it had set her free
This was the easy part, but more enemies were outside the wall
She wondered if her magic, would work against them all
She came to a door, and wondered where it lead
Opening it slowly, she saw someone sitting on a bed
A man with purple hair, and eyes the purest blue
“My Name is Mesco, please take me away with you”
Mesco was in a prison, and would need to be set free
She pushed at the door, and it opened without a key
Mesco smiled, as the door opened wide
And soon he was looking at the prison, from the outside
Filemma and Mesco headed down the hall
A dead end, it had lead them to a wall
Mesco pointed and whispered, “Out the back way”
The door that held the prison, brought them to the light of day
Before them lead a path, that lead to a mass of trees
A forest at the end, on one branch was a hive of bees
They followed the path, to see where it would go
Mesco took the lead, he seemed to know
He slowed down, and turned to Filemma to say
“There is hidden danger, if we go this way”
Filemma asked “what are you talking about?”
Then a fast movement, brought on a wild shout
Little people holding spears, behind the trees they came
“So this was the hidden danger,” Filemma thought without any blame
They were speaking, with their spears pointing ahead
So Filemma and Mesco, followed where they were lead
Following the little people, down the path that twists and turns
They passed trees, and bushes, and also many ferns
Little round houses, that looked to be made of grass
They came across a little woman, she was showing her ass
She was dancing in the middle of a circle, as people cheered
Filemma hope that they weren't forced into, doing something that she feared
They passed the dancer, and stopped by the biggest house
A little fat man was standing in the doorway, the woman must be his spouse
They motioned the captives inside, to a chair where they could sit
Across the room inside, a big candle was being lit
Mesco whispered “these are the Gitchies, this is a ceremony they hold”
Filemma was glad to know this, happy that she had been told
She asked Mesco, what would happen next
Mesco replied smiling, “Nothing to do with sex”
Relieved, yet that never cross her mind
She was happy to know, Mesco seemed so kind
A man stood up in front, and started to speak
Mesco with his forefinger, touched her on the cheek
He said “he is talking about us, to his people's ears”
Filemma listened, but she didn't have any fears
Mesco stood up, and spoke to them in their tongue
Words that flowed together, like a song that had been sung
Mesco turned to Filemma, and this is what he said
“Because we are enemies of the Castle men, we will not be dead”
“These are the Gitchies” said Mesco with a smile
“They have lived in these woods for quite awhile”
“They want to know, what brought you here”
“And to also tell you, you have nothing to fear”
Filemma looked up, and in her memory
Found that place, that brought her misery
“I was bathing , not far from here, in the nude”
“When the Castle Men, came upon me, and they were so rude”
“they held my clothes, watching as I came out”
“They called me dirty names, they started to shout”
“They let me get dressed, then tied me with a rope”
“Until a memory came upon me, I had given up on hope”
Mesco smiled again, as they Gitchies asked how they got free
Filemma replied “I realized through a memory, I retained sorcery”
“You come from beyond the Mountains,” said a Gitchy from the rear
Emotional, Filemma replied “yes,” with a tear
“I was searching for my sister, wondering where she could be”
“She wasn't with the same Castle men, so I couldn't set her free”
“Some men like the Castle men, had taken her away”
“I've been searching for her, every night and day”
A female Gitchy stepped forward, “There is a place called Consoom”
“A big place with many people, but it may cause you your doom”
“Many Castle men, and people, from all around”
“They dwell in this place, and here she might be found”
The female Gitchy point to the East
And said before they leave, they'll join them in a feast
The Feast with many foods, so many Gitchies from everywhere
They even gave Filemma, some food that they could spare
“One final gift, we give to you today”
“A charmed necklace,” as the female Gitchy walked away
“Whenever you need help, rub this charm light”
“It will help you anywhere, whether day or night”
A Gitchy guided them, to a place to lay their head
It wasn't quite as comfortable, as their own familiar bed
But soon Filemma and Mesco, faded into slumber
Cutting logs so many, they lost track of the number
Taking a closer look, into a Nightmarish dream
She was awakened, by a loud noise and a scream
The Castle Men, were attacking her family home
She's never seen them before, their features all unknown
She saw them, taking her sister away
Her sister Domina, struggling to get free
They had her face covered, she couldn't talk or see
Filemma ran out to stop them, but was taken from behind
That was the last thing she remembered, darkness took her mind
Dark skinned, dark skinned, as the sun beat down
Her beauty spoke of royalty, but she didn't wear a crown
Just a trader of furs, nothing more than that
Living in her village home, is where she was at
Just a handful of family, were left to tend the place
All the others killed, by an enemy that showed no face
She came to, and she looked around
For traces of the footprints, and where they were bound
She'll get her sister back, no matter what it takes
Already she was feeling, all the familiar aches
Then she found herself bathing in a stream
This almost felt like, this could be a dream
Castle Men grabbed her, and tied her up real tight
Blindfolded her, and cut off her daylight
It was so tight, she'd never break free
She wished, that she could somehow see
Feeling like someone, was giving her a shake
It was Mesco, “It's time to come awake”
Realization, that the two sets of Castle Men weren't the same
It was from different places, that each of them came
So she knew the place, had to be Consoom
With a little luck, it wouldn't be her doom
They thanked the Gitchies for the feast
And the provisions to take, as they headed east
One thing Filemma thought, as they headed down the trail
They needed to free her sister, and they couldn't fail
After half a day's walk, they came to more trees
From inside the Gitchy backpack, she tasted something like cheese
She broke off a piece, and let Mesco give it a try
Then overhead, they saw something pass by
Mesco smiled, “Filemma my friend, you need not fear”
“They have Flying Squirrels, in the trees over here”
Filemma asked, “have you been here before?”
Mesco replied, “Long ago with my family, we came to explore”
“Mesco, do you know this area very well?”
“Yes, but the last time I was here, I went through hell”
“Mesco, do you have an idea where these Castle Men might be?”
“I recall a large building, that's what I did see”
'If we keep following the trail, we'll be there in half a day”
Filemma smiled, as she let Mesco lead the way
Two hours later, they came to a certain spot
“Okay Filemma, let's see what you got”
“Mesco, what so ever do you mean?”
“Time to practice that sorcery, or you'll be green”
“See that large rock over there, by that tree”
“I want you to hit it with your power, we'll see”
Filemma concentrated, and pushed her power out
The rock was pulverized, Mesco gave a shout
“Now let's try it, with a little less force”
Filemma laughed, yet she sounded a little hoarse
Mesco pointed at another rock, not too far away
“Filemma, just relax your mind, and it will be okay”
She did, and the result she used with her power
That hard rock was in a shape of a flower
Mesco laughed, his face was filled with glee
“My sister use to pick these flowers, especially for me”
“We called her PinRose, because she did”
“I haven't seen her, since I was a kid”
Filemma smiled, because she loved flowers too
And something else, she just somehow knew
Then she wondered, how did she know
Must be a part of her sorcery, as it was always so
Mesco smiled and said, “Now let's see how you do on a man”
“Mesco, I'm not sure about this, do you think that I can?”
“Just use your mind, and think about what will be”
Mesco went over, and sat under the tree
Filemma closed her eyes, visualizing Mesco here
When she opened her eyes, she saw Mesco disappear
She had no idea, that these powers did anything close
Then she felt something touch her face, like a ghost
Filemma jumped up, and turned around
She looked, but nobody was to be found
Then she heard a little laughter, and she knew
As Mesco was in front of her, he came back into view
“It's a gift of my people, I learned when I was boy”
“It was something that I use to, always enjoy”
“Mesco, it means, I still didn't get to practice on a man”
Mesco smiled, “I've always known that you can”
“How?” Filemma asked with a questioning look
“Because, your visualization, is as plain as a book”
“Remember when we were at the Gitchy home”
“You knew without saying, that we weren't alone”
“Yes!” Filemma smiled, “I felt there was someone else there”
“And there was!” Mesco continued, “You were quite aware”
“A little man in the shadows, with a beard”
“Yes!” said Filemma, “and that seemed so weird”
“What was he doing?” Filemma asked, “because I didn't look”
“He was writing down everything we said, into a book”
All of a sudden, Filemma looked up at the sky
As one of those giant squirrels, went flying by
What an amazing discovery, Filemma noticed that the squirrel
Was not really a squirrel, but a small Gitchy Girl
“Mesco, did you know this was part of their plan?”
“Yes,” Mesco nodded, “They are the protectors of this land”
Mesco looked up, then down, and then all around
“I guess this will perfect, for our sleep in the ground”
Mesco pulled out two small blanket rolls
And placed them on the ground, where there weren't any holes
“The Gitchies gave them to us” Mesco said with a smile
Filemma replied, “a little bit smaller than our normal style”
“Yes, but we can't be picky, and we won't get dirt on our clothes”
Not that Filemma was complaining, not one to turn up her nose
They heard forest animals, but none came too near
They slept in rotations, always open with one ear
At some point, they both were asleep in the night
Both were awakened, by the first sign of daylight
Only half a day, and they would be there
While sleepiness left them, they became more aware
They ate some of the provisions, the Gitchies had given
Both came more to life, in the land of the living
They started off on the trail, before too long
Mesco was whistling, a cheery old song
Filemma was smiling, “I know that tune”
And the trail brought them, all the way to noon
They arrived at the valley, that lead to Consoom
If they planned it well, it wouldn't lead to their doom
“Filemma, I'm going to look around, I'll be right back”
“I want to see who is where, so we'll have all the facts”
Mesco headed off, to check it out
While Filemma, filled her head with plenty of doubt
It seems we may have troubles, is what she thought
Getting Domina out, without us getting caught
All of a sudden she heard a noise, it was Mesco returning
She was anxious to find out, what she would be learning
“There's a lot of people, workers around there”
“It will be dangerous, we'll have to take care”
“Listen, Filemma, I think I should go in alone”
“Take a look around, and see what is known”
“I want you to be my back up, only come if I say”
“You're telepathic, so I'll send a message your way”
Filemma didn't like the idea, but she understood
She'd be prepared, in case he should
“Mesco, how did you get caught, you seem so wise”
“They came up from behind, took me by surprise”
“Couldn't you have turned invisible, and gotten away?”
“I wasn't quite the same man, I am today”
“They shackled me, before I could be so quick”
“What they did to the other captive, made me sick”
Filemma was afraid to ask, what could that be
“I have an idea, because of how they treated me”
“You have no idea, Filemma, I don't want to say”
“They aren't men, and one day they will pay”
“Be careful Mesco, I'll be listening for your words”
High above them weren't the Gitchies, but some gray birds
Mesco was silent, as he walked down the trail
Filemma pulled out a flask, and took a sip of ale
A sudden noise, made her turn her head
“Look at what we have here,” one of the Castle Men said
Filemma took in about five of the men there
Her power came to life, and she was quite aware
Part of her wanted to kill them, but she tried something new
Several ideas crossed her mind, and then her powers blew
So fast, that they hardly saw it coming
Some of the men didn't get far, when they were running
The bark from the tree came off, and intertwined them all
That's when she heard, it was Mesco's call
“They have me, but they think I'm alone”
“Good thing these dogs, have themselves a bone”
Filemma knew, there was a message there
Oh yes, he'll keep them busy, and I'll do my share
She kept a branch in her hand, as she walked ahead
Remembering some words, that her Mama said
“Sometimes there are things you'll have to do”
“You have the power within, it'll help you though”
“These were one of those times, I guess”
“Well, I'll just have to do my best”
She sat down by a tree, to meditate
Get in focus, but there was no time to wait
She realized with her gift, she was the friend of the tree
Using her powers from within, she would set her sister free
She put a few small sticks, up her sleeve
Tricks to help her plan, then she started to leave
She held one branch, to get her to the door
She'd be prepared, for whatever was in store
She practiced with the branches, a time or two
She was prepared, and she knew what to do
She watched the Castle, from the top of the hill
Everything seemed too quiet, eerily quite still
“They could have set a trap for me”
“I'll have to be cautious and see”
She was at the front door, ready for anything
Wondering what her entrance would bring
Small branches ready, she opened the door
Yet it was absent of life, just like before
“What could have happened here?”
Then she heard a small voice, whisper in her ear
“They were taken away, with creatures with skin of blue”
“The purple haired man tried to escape, but there was nothing he could do”
She looked up to see on her branch, a little yellow bird there
“I'm a Warbler, there's no need for you to stare”
“The Gitchies are close friends of mine”
“I knew trouble came, they sent me a sign”
Filemma had to know, “Can you describe these creatures of Blue?”
“They looked like giant bugs, there was nothing I could do”
She looked up to see on her branch, a little yellow bird there
“I'm a Yellow Warbler, there's no need for you to stare”
“The Gitchies are close friends of mine”
I knew trouble had come, they sent me a sign”
Filemma had to know, “Can you describe these creatures of Blue?”
“They looked like giant bugs, there was nothing I could do”
“Call me Yarby, what do they call you?”
“Filemma,” she replied, as she thought of the bugs of blue
“I came from beyond the mountains, from the west”
Yarby chirped and said “That's where I use to have my nest!”
“Any idea Yarby, where those blue bugs took everyone?”
“I have an idea,” Said Yarby, “but it won't be any fun”
“They live a long journey away, in a giant Hive”
“Many times their hostages, are barely kept alive.”
That was all Filemma needed to hear
Just what she needed, more things to fear
“You've been to the Hive before?”
“Yes Filemma, but they don't use a door”
“Yarby, I think I need to get on my way”
“You won't want to come along, it'll take more than a day”
“I think you'll need me to come along”
“So you don't take any turns that are wrong”
It took a day and a half, when Yarby finally said
“It's not too far now, it is just ahead”
As they came closer, Filemma could see
Buzzing around the giant Hive, like a Blue Bumblebee
There were several of them, buzzing around the Hive
She was hoping, Mesco and her sister, were still alive
“The only way in, is the the way they fly out”
She'll have to be captured, without any doubt
“Yarby, I'm volunteering to be captured, and to be brought into the Hive”
“I have no plans to die, my plans are to stay alive”
Filemma spotted a branch, belonging to a nearby tree
She now knew their freedom, and what would be the key
She had mastered, the magic of the tree
Hoping her plan, would set them all free
Climbing wasn't something, she liked to do
Yet she had to climb, to make her plans come true
When she got to the branch, she had chosen to be
With a thought from within, it grew larger on the tree
Then the branch stretched, as if it was alive
Until the branch was over, the entry to the Hive
Directly over the hole, that would lead the way
She was just hoping, all would go okay
She had the branch, bring her through like a rope
Once she was inside, then she'd have to cope
These flying blue buzzers, saw her arrive
Attacked her, trying to defend their Hive
She pulled the small branches, out of her sleeve
As her eyes looked around, it was hard to believe
She saw Mesco, and her sister, up on the wall
And several others, she hadn't time to count them all
First she would have to stop the blue bees, who were now in a rage
It had come to her suddenly, these branches would build a cage
Next she had to get them, all into one place
Without them realizing that, that could be the case
She had them chase her, until there was no way out
They moved in much closer, until there was no doubt
She let loose the branches, and they formed a cage
She watched as the blue buzzers, went into a rage
She saw Yarby was there, pecking on the wall
Working her way, to releasing them all
Filemma went to the wall, helping each one down
That sticky stuff that held them, was a light brown
When Mesco came down, there was a smile on her face
“You've mastered the branches!” as he gave her an embrace
Her sister, Domina, with tears in her eyes
Was happy, that she didn't crystallize
She got down, and embraced her sister so tight
A kiss on her cheek, they were close to the same height
Then in the cage, a small fire built to a flame
In a puff of smoke, nothing was the same
Those flying blue bugs, had quickly disappeared
Their threat now, was nothing to be feared
They all made their exit, out of the Hive
Glad to know, they all remained alive
After a journey back to the Castle, they gathered by the Well
Everyone has so much to share, and so much to tell
As darkness arrived, and it became night
There came a glow, of a bright purple light
“Mesco!” Filemma smiled, “Why is your hair growing so bright?”
Mesco replied smiling, “It happens when I'm happy, and filled with delight”
Finally they all turned in, for they deserved a good rest
While Yarby sang in the distance, as she sat by her nest
~
Outside of the village Turvo, sits a little yellow bird
Watching and listening, to everything he saw and heard
Savage men pushing a man with dark hair
The village was in ruins, everyone was in despair
Other savages had a woman, with hair of white
The little yellow bird took note, of everything in sight
Into the small forest, is where they were lead
He noticed the spears that they had, had a tint of red
Yarby the Yellow Warbler decided, it would be easier in flight
He's glad he found them again, out of the forest to the right
He knew where they were going, into the jungle of Nizami
Once they were taken there, nobody was ever set free
Yarby flew back, to his friends at Castle Vovo
Sure that the news would be a hard blow
As he got closer, he saw some smoke rising
But that wasn't the reason, it seemed so surprising
He saw some Gitchies, and they weren't alone
The same kind of savages, but he was about the unknown
He heard a sound, coming from a tree
A Gitchy was on a branch, so nobody could see
Yarby landed on a branch, which was easy for this bird
While the Gitchy named Hakara, told him all that was heard
“We saw the savage people, set fire, and we set them free”
“They caught my friends, so I am up here in this tree”
Hakara gave a bird call, and who should it be
Filemma, Domina, and Mesco, appearing from behind a tree
Yarba and Hakara moved down, closer to the three
They discussed on how to, set the Gitchies free
Yarby flew off, soon he would return
To find those savages, and what else he could learn
He couldn't understand the savages, but the Gitchies were unharmed
That was the only good news, so they shouldn't be alarmed
He flew back to his friends, with all of his news
His wings brought him quickly, there was no time to lose
Telling them what he saw, just down the road
Five Savages had the Gitchies, in a captive mode
They were bound together, with some kind of rope
Filemma smiled, because now there was some hope
It was too bad that they had to be caught
As her mind drifted, becoming one thought
She wondered if the magic, that she used on the tree
Would work on the rope, and set the Gitchies free
She threw a thought out there, with an image in her mind
To see if it would work, or what else she would find
All of a sudden, three Gitchies came into sight
They were smiling, all filled with delight
When they were closer, one of them said
“For a moment there, I thought we were dead”
“Then all of a sudden, we were set free”
“By invisible hands, we wondered who it could be”
“Suddenly those Savages, were tied up very tight”
“Then we decided, it was time to take our flight”
After they had time to calm down from their recent event
Yarby told them of the village, that's where he went
“Two people in the village, were taken from there”
“One man with hair so very dark, a woman with white hair”
Domina gasped! “Uncle Berr and Aunt Cami!”
Filemma frowned, “who else could it be”
Yarby continued, “the man had hair on his chin”
“The white haired woman, was a little too thin”
“We need to free them!” she said with a thought
“Too bad, that they had to be caught”
It's been a long time since Filemma and Domina had been there
To to return to their birth village, with a story they could share
Hakara stepped forward, “Remember the Whistle that was given to you”
“Blow it for help, and we'll know what to do”
Filemma turned around, and Hakara had disappeared
It was their way, to others it still seemed so weird
Preparations didn't take long, and they were on their way
Four traveling companions, ahead was a long day
At the end of each day, they camped at night
They set off again, at the sign of first light
They didn't encounter problems, except tired feet
Yet they wondered, what creatures they would meet
It was four days, and they were almost there
They could tell, by the smell in the air
They came to a hill, overlooking the village below
Filemma and Domina, were at a place that they know
“Home,” Filemma said, a smiled formed on her face
Then a frown came, remembering what happened at this place
The sooner they'd arrive, the sooner they would know
And plan a departure, for they would have to go
When they were last there, the homes were torn down
The Savages were guilty, but none were around
Stone little structures, clay to hold in place
Many rebuilt them, which was so in this case
The travelers found, they were happy to have a rest
The long journey, was truly quite a test
Filemma looked to see who was around
A Cousin she knew, was the one to be found
Calipri was one, who was high on the village committee
She held a high place, and also high authority
Calipri said there were no more trouble, since her Aunt and Uncle was taken
Security was now stronger, because so many villagers were shaken
The travelers were happy of the news
Still there were two, they didn't want to lose
All they could now, is get some good sleep
Tomorrow they would plan, on how they should leap
Everyone slept well, except for just one
Filemma dreamed of an Island, they shone like the sun
So lit up, and sparkled so bright
It shined for miles, this island of light
She woke up wondering, what could it mean
Or could it just be, a crazy old dream
She'd keep it to herself, for the time being
Yet still she was wondering, what she was seeing
During the afternoons, Filemma taught Domina the magical ways
Soon she was mastering it, in the coming days
Plans were made, of the Nizami rescue
How it would work, nobody really knew
The villagers never went into Nizami
So nothing was known, on how it would be
They have to take a chance, and hope for the best
Each knowing that, each day is a test
Filemma's dream kept replaying in her mind
She knew it was Akimbo, she must find
Akimbo was an old woman, wise and she'll know
Before any final plans, she'll know where we should go
Akimbo had long white hair, that glowed in the light
Her voice was musically pleasant, her clothes were all white
When Filemma entered with a smile, Akimbo smiled too
“Oh there you are, I've been expecting you”
Filemma told her all about the dream
Akimbo looked like she was about to scream
Then she relaxed, and said with a smile
“Your dream was of Mezmotza, the Light Isle”
Akimbo went on to explain about the Isle
As she was talking, she held a slight smile
“It is said, all answers to magic are there”
“I've been there before, and here's what I'll share”
“A Wizard of Light, makes the island his home”
“Living with another, so he's not alone”
“Only those that are pure of heart and soul, can go”
“No darkness can enter, this is something you should know”
Akimbo bowed her head, signaling that was all she knew
Filemma thanked her, that's all she could do
She returned to her friends, with a story to tell
Of an Island so bright, it could be under a spell
They were all amazed, at what she had to share
Some couldn't talk, others could only stare
The importance of this dream, was realized by each
So they all agreed, the bright isle they must reach
Mezmotza was on the Isle of Light
Where all things there, seemed to shine bright
Borkin was the path, that would lead them there
Yarby was the only companion, who would take to air
Early in the morning, they were on their way
The sun and its warmth, made for a beautiful day
Filemma had found a hand written note
That read “I've gone to get us a boat”
It didn't take them long, before they reached the shore
Mesco was with the boat, but there was even more
Pyar and Zyar, were owners of the baot they would ride
Sea men for years, they offered to be the guide
Soon they were off, to the Isle of pure light
Pyar said “We'll be there, long before night”
Zyar said “Calm waters mean there's no danger”
Upon reaching Mezmotza, things would get stranger
Later afternoon, they had a view of the Isle
Filemma looked, and then she had to smile
It was a great feeling, when the adventure began
On the shore, there was a bright glow to the sand
Upon reaching shore, Pyar pointed ahead
“Just follow that path, that's where you'll be lead”
The companions started off down the trail
Filemma was thinking, “give us strength we don't fail”
The path lead to a sparkling castle, made of crystals of some kind
Filemma looked back, thankful that no one was left behind
“You are all here, you can't expect any more”
A man stood in the doorway, he wasn't there before
He stood in a long glowing white robe
Inside his hands he held a globe
“I saw your destiny coming this way”
“I also know why, you are here today”
Filemma smiled and asked, “are you the Wizard of Light?”
The Wizard replied, “yes I am, you're very bright”
“Call me Orkid, I am a Wizard, and this is my place”
“We have things to discuss, which is always the case”
Before them appeared a table and chairs
“Sit back and enjoy, free of all cares”
Upon the table stood food and some drinks
Orkid was smiling, and giving everyone winks
“Getting past Burdoko, won't be easy at all”
“He's very dark, and he's built an evil wall”
“I can shed some light, on what we need to do”
“Plans will come to light, as we think it through”
As our companions, headed for the boat, one thing was on their mind
They didn't remember how the conversation ended, or what it is they'd find
Bits and pieces, they knew
On what they had to do
The trip back was an easy one for each
As Pyar and Zyar brought the boat to beach
Down the Borkin path, they walked
Hurriedly on their way, they talked
Domina broke the silence, “What good can a pearl do us here?”
“Against a dark Wizard, we have so much more to fear”
“Orkid said,” Filemma replied, “The pearl has a sensory perception”
“So, I'm sure, we shouldn't fear any reception”
“He said to put it down, and it will do the rest”
“Guaranteed not to fail, so it won't need a test”
They arrived at Turvo, early in the night
For our companions, it was a welcomed sight
Filemma told everyone, “Pack up what you'll carry, we leave in the morning”
With those words, the sky darkened, and they took that as a warning
It turned out that the morning brought a beautiful day
Sunny blue sky, and our companions were on their way
Before reaching Nizami, they stopped to have a bite
They went over what the recalled, at the Isle of The Light
Mesco's head was a radiant purple, as he spoke
“I believe Orkid put a spell on us, some kind of a joke”
I recall him saying, “All will be remembered, when the time is right”
“All will work out fine, let your power be your light”
Filemma opened her leather bag, and took a small wooden box
Gently she set it down, on a large pile of rocks
She opened it, and took out the brightest pearl ever seen
It shone upon everything, made the grass look bright green
All were looking at it, wondering, what could a little pearl do
It was beyond their knowing, they didn't have a clue
It didn't matter now, all would be revealed
Best now to keep it safe, and to keep it sealed
Our companions were ready, to enter Nizami
All were on the look out, for all that they could see
They came to the entrance, stairs leading down
Each of them looking, each wearing a frown
“You must go down them to get anywhere”
It was Orkid's voice, they began to stare
“Orkid,” Filemma said, “you sound muffled, like you're in a box”
“You could say I am, at the bottom, watch out for the rocks”
At the bottom of the long stairs, were some large rocks
Mesco said “Be careful, and please watch your socks”
They climbed over the rocks, and were on solid ground
Several human skeletons, is what they had found
After an agreement, on which way to go
Whether it was the right, they didn't know
There was a passage that lead to the right
The passage was darker, with very little light
“Open the box” came Orkid's voice
Filemma did so, and easier became their choice
Light illuminated the whole passageway
What once was night, now became day
They came to a two way Passageway
But which was the one, where danger lay
“Either way, we must move ahead”
Filemma's fear was in what she just said
They came to a place where stood a wooden door
Orkid's voice screamed “Get down on the floor!”
That yell was enough, to get them to the ground
The explosion was quite a thunderous sound
Filemma looked around, to see if everyone was okay
She picked up her leather bag, and then stepped away
Mesco looked around and asked “What was that all about?”
Orkid responded “A Magical seal, no doubt”
“Set to the foot fall vibrations of your feet”
“Now is a good time to rest and to eat”
After eating and resting, they started up once more
Each one now knowing, stay away from every door
Orkid's voice, “There will be traps like that, all along the way”
“My feelers will help, so listen to all that I say”
They had come to a huge cavern, where they stopped and looked around
There were many passages, they noticed black marbles on the ground
Orkid's voice again, “Do not touch them, they're a trap!”
Then came a sound, like a loud thunder clap
A male Gitchy was standing in a passageway, all alone
He looked taller than most, because he was standing on a stone
He talked, “I commend you for getting this far”
He pointed at the box, “It's only because of who you are”
Orkid's voice “A dark Gitchy, I should have known”
“Call me Xartoff, but I am not alone”
Several other Gitchies stood around him, from out of nowhere
“It's a trap!” shouted Orkid, there was a fizzling in the air
The Gitchies were gone, and in their place were marbles of black
Which told Orkid, why the Gitchies, didn't attack
“The Black Marbles,” Orkid said, “are deadlier than you knew
“Don't go near them, or they'll attach themselves to you”
“And that won't be good, dark magic is at work”
“Which means only, that nearby Burdoko must lurk”
All of a sudden, a dark cloud appeared
Domina said, “It was just as we feared”
“Oh yes, be afraid, as you'll never get past me”
Moving quickly, Filemma set the pearl free
She rolled it towards the dark Wizard, not too far away
Dark and light merged, changing into a cloud of gray
In a cloud containing dark and light
Was a battle that made an eerie sight
Nobody could tell who was winning
It seemed to each, that their world was spinning
Mesco took control, there were three ways to go
To search for the prisoners, only one could be so
They split up, and each went down one
Whoever found them first, it wouldn't be fun
Filemma found her passage lit in bright red
She followed the light, to see where it lead
A little further, she saw cells off to the right
The red light, seemed to get a little more bright
She saw some prisoners, all had a bright red glow
She couldn't understand why, but she wished to know
She spotted her Aunt and Uncle, they were red too
Did the dark Wizard do this, she wished she knew
She called to her Aunt and Uncle forward they came
She hoped this wasn't, some sort of game
“Fil,” her Aunt asked, “Did you hear what I said?”
Filemma asked, “Why are you all glowing red?”
Her Aunt and Uncle started out loud
Her Uncle said, “Your Mom would be proud”
“It's your homing beacon,” her Aunt said with a smile
“Red light is our family color, the glow is our style”
All of a sudden, five dark Gitchies appeared
Filemma thought, “it was just as I feared”
Behind them, came a slight sound
Mesco had tossed something on the ground
Up in smoke, suddenly the dark Gitchies were not here
While the prisoners waited, for all the smoke to clear
“How?” Filemma looked at mesco, wondering why
Mesco replied, “ Black Marbles, it's not a good day to die”
Filemma concentrated on the cell door
In minutes, it fell to the floor
Her Aunt smiled, “You've done quite well”
Auntie,” Filemma responded, “I have so much to tell”
In the passageway, appeared someone in gray
They didn't know who it was, it was hard to say
Domina was the first to ask the stranger who
“I am Borkido the Gray, can I come with you?”
“I'm sorry,” Filemma said, “You are someone we don't know”
“Being a stranger, we can't take you with us when we go”
The Gray stranger said “Look closely if you will”
Yarby flew in front of him, recognition was his skill
Yarby said “He sure looks like Orkid, I'd say”
The rest agreed, that he did in a way
They were all staring, and when they were done
Borkido said, “I am Orkid and Burdoko, combined as one”
Mesco smiled and said, “Magic! You merged to gray”
Borkido smiled slightly, “Yes, but I hope it won't stay”
Filemma asked, “How do we know that the dark won't prevail over the light”
Borkido replied, “We're in balance, the left and the right”
He continued, “We could come in handy, in case trouble should arise”
Mesco said “Let's let him come, he speaks the words of the wise”
Our companions returned to Turvo, with Borkido the Gray
With Yarby flying ahead, leading the way
It was another adventure, all over and complete
After a village gathering, they each put up their feet
Sleep took them over, in a dream they floated free
While a Yellow Warbler sung, perched in a nearby tree
A party in celebration, Turvo was a joyous place
Smiles and laughter, were seen on every face
A small group had gathered, Borkido had something to say
“I have a secret to share, on this festive day”
“There was this powerful Wizard, who was our brother”
“We shared in the same Father, and the same Mother”
“He was more powerful, than each of us combined”
“But one day he disappeared, and now we can not find”
“We searched high, we searched low”
“Where he is, we just don't know”
“All three of us, came from the Isle Of Light”
”Looking at Filemma and Domina he said “and it's your Birthright”
Filemma and Domina surprised, looked at each other
There were only two sisters, there wasn't a brother
Borkido continued, “You two must go there, and learn all you can”
“And I'll be the one who becomes the searching man”
“I must find him, because he is The One”
“He knows our future, after all is said and done”
“Our brother is Camileon, he can change his color and shape”
“He could be anything, possibly even a green grape”
“The Butterfly Garden is where I will go”
“Maybe one of them, will possibly know”
“I leave to the garden, early tonight”
“Tomorrow it's best, you set off to the Isle Of Light”
Preparations started, so much was on their mind
Their journey there, and what it is they'd find
“Could Camileon, be a relative to us?”
Filemma looked at Domina, both showing a must
Borkido set off on his search
While Yarby watched it all from his perch
Light getting dimmer, sun going down
If a warbler could, he'd be wearing a frown
Borkido hoped to reach the Garden by daylight
Until that time came, he must journey through night
The next day, our companions were ready to go
Down the path, wishing there was more to know
Two hours later, the forest got thicker
Filemma had to pull off, a little picker
They reached the beach, in very good time
Barring their way was a Gitchy, with a message of crime
“My name is Okara, and I bring news that will itch”
“The isle of light, was taken over by a witch”
Mesco exclaimed “We aren't afraid of any witchy”
“The Isle is now night, with dark magic” said the Gitchy
The Gitchy handed something to Filemma, what could it be
“It's a small lantern, that will help you to see”
“Remember that the light has turn to dark”
“Use this lantern to see, it'll be more than a spark”
With that, Okara disappeared from the scene
Filemma looked at the lantern, so shiny and clean
Filemma said “I feel there's a message here”
“With this lantern, we have less to fear”
Borkido's journey, in search of his brother
Took several days, give or take another
He knew where the Butterfly Garden should be
Yet, there were no butterflies, that he could see
“I assume you're looking for me”
Said a Rainbow Dragonfly, passing a tree
“Very colorful” said Borkido with a smile
“Yes, I've been one for a very long while”
Borkido said “I didn't think I'd find you”
“If I didn't wish to be found, then it would be true”
“I came to give you some news, you need to know”
“I already know, my crystal ball had a lot to show”
Meanwhile, our companions were on the Borkin Path to the shore
Wondering what lay ahead, what lay in store
Yarby had flown ahead, and had Pyar and Zyar prepare a boat to go
Upon arrival to the shore, the brothers had the boat ready to flow
Pyar and Zyar were told of their darkest enemy yet
Pyar replied “No worries here, I just don't want to get wet”
Filemma held the lantern, wondering what it could do
I guess only time will tell, another adventure to get through
As they got closer to the Isle Of Night, it got darker
That Witch's powers, made it hard to see the marker
Pyar and Zyar, knew where it was by heart
Each brother knew, that they also played a part
Soon it was pure night everywhere
They couldn't see anything in the water or the air
Filemma took out the lantern, and held it up high
It glowed and showed, that there was land close by
After bringing the boat to shore
The lantern got even brighter more
They've been here once before, but never at night
They wished there was, so much more light
All of a sudden, the glow flickered white
They saw something, flying their way in the night
It was a Witch, on a giant Bat
Mesco pointed, “Look, it's a a winged Rat!”
The Witch landed, the Bat flew away
She said, “Leave now, or you're going to pay!”
“You don't scare us” Mesco said brave and loud
His blue glow made him look noble and proud
Mesco was running away to the right
Darker it became, as he ran into the night
The Witch waved something with her finger
The moment seemed to linger
Mesco screamed “OUCH!” from the dark
Filemma noticed the lantern left off a spark
Filemma felt her whole body quake
Then Domina also started to shake
Mesco watched, as he took in an amazing sight
The Sisters were shining, in a circle of light
That lantern, also had a similar glow
The light illuminated everything, oh what a show
The Witch smiled, “Your coming of age won't stop me”
“I've had many years, to come to be”
The Witch pulled up a blanket, of pure dark
Threw it over the girls, couldn't even see a spark
They couldn't talk or move, so what could they do
The blanket of darkness consumed them, Mesco knew
“Oh look, a Rainbow Dragonfly, has come to play” The Witch said
“Yes,” said the Dragonfly, “and the girls better not be dead”
“Oh they'll wish they were, trapped in the dark”
The Dragonfly attacked, but missed his mark
The Rainbow Dragonfly's colors, were surrounding the Witch
It was a colorful trap, for the evil dark bitch
The colors like thread, wound around her and got tighter
The darkness around her, then became much lighter
The Witch cried out, “What have you done to me?!”
The Dragonfly said, “I looked within and found a key”
“From now on you'll be Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue”
“A Rainbow Witch, we'll call you Witchypoo”
While Witchypoo got comfortable with her new look
The Dragonfly picked up the dark blanket and shook
The Blanket was very easy to lift
The Witch said “The Blanket is a rift”
The Dragonfly asked “What world did they go to?”
Witchypoo replied, “So many in there, I haven't a clue”
The Dragonfly responded “If anything happens to them, you'll be a dead Witch”
Then all of a sudden, the Witch started to twitch
The Dragonfly flew over, and released Mesco from his net
It was the actual first time, that they had met
Mesco said “I believe their powers of light, will set them free”
The Dragonfly replied “They get that gift, from their ancestry”
“You're their Dad” Mesco said with a smile
“No, Grandfather” The Dragonfly stared for awhile
Voices were coming from the dark blanket on the ground
Then it became very quiet, without even a sound
All of a sudden Filemma and Domina emerged in a blast of light
On their faces, could only be described as fright
“What happened in there?” asked the Rainbow Dragonfly
Filemma replied, “There was a large alien spider, who wouldn't let us get by”
“It said it was coming, for the three brothers who trapped it there”
“It said they couldn't hide, it would find them anywhere”
“What did it mean by that?” Filemma said with a frown
The Rainbow Dragonfly replied, “It's a long story, you better sit down”
All of a sudden, the Rainbow Dragonfly changed into a man
Filemma and Domina, began to understand
“You're the brother, of Orkid and Burdoko”
“Yes” he replied, “And I'm the Grandfather to you”
Domina looked at Camileon, “I see the resemblance between you three”
Camileon smiled, “I figured if you looked, then you would see”
Mesco looked serious, “Is that Alien Spider, talking about you three brothers?”
“Yes,” Camileon responded, “Because there aren't any others”
“Grandpa,” Filemma asked, “Why is it after you?”
Camileon looked up, “Listen while I tell you a story that's true”
“It took all three of us, to bannish the Spider from this place”
Filemma could see, the look of sadness on his face
“Your parents were killed by it, I'm sorry to say”
“I blame myself for it, every single day”
“I should have known, it would hurt us the worst”
“Azaxo was a terror, and it had a killing thirst”
“Being an alien, your parents were caught in a trap”
“A large poisonous sticky web, and my powers couldn't zap”
“It was a slow death, there was nothing I could do”
“I tried to think of something, but didn't have a clue”
“I knew Fortuana had a sister, in the village there”
“So I brought you sisters to her, to be in her care”
“Your father was Filup, a better son he couldn't be”
“Our powers together, couldn't even set them free”
A tear fell, from Camileon's eye
“And now you know, the reason why”
Borkido stood on the beach, not too far away
“Our brother speaks the truth, the day of reckoning is here”
“Azaxo's revenge is at hand, and this is something to fear”
Mesco said, “Revenge? Why? I just can't see”
Camileon replied, “Because we killed it's family”
“Right after it killed Filup and Fortuana, we did”
“Following the tragedy, is when I hid”
“Ashamed, I wasn't much of a man”
Borkido added, “One can only do the best that they can”
Camileon continued, “We banned Azaxo to the Black Void forever”
“I should have known, that he would be more clever”
“An Alien Spider, how can we possibly win?”
Filemma said, “ How can we possibly lose, until we begin”
The Rainbow Witch chimed in with, “Let's kill the Spiders, okay!”
A voice out of nowhere sounded, “Then you better do it today”
Turning around, Azaxo was there, with smile on his face
“It's time to kill the light, and we won't even leave a trace”
The spiders were spinning their deadly webs, readying for the fight
While our companions, were combining all of their light
Domina asked, “Why can't we banish them back into the black?”
Camileon answered, “Because, they would keep coming back”
Camileon continued, “As much as I had using the Killing Effect”
“It comes down to this world, that we must protect”
The Rainbow Witch swirled her fingers, and pointed at the ground
There before them at their feet, a Rainbow Ant was found
Camileon asked, “Nice, but how will that help us in our fight?”
Witchypoo replied, “The darkness was changed by Rainbow Light”
Camileon replied, “Not sure it will work, but it sure is worth a try”
Filemma said, “It sure beats seeing anyone die”
Witchypoo raised her Rainbow wand, and she jerked
One of the spiders were rainbow colored, so it must have worked
That spider left the others, and then it turned
Through the Rainbow Magic, something was learned
One limb raised, to the others spiders there
All turned into Rainbow Spiders, without a worry or a care
Azaxo came forward, as if to have something to say
“We can never go back home, this way”
“They'll never accept us now, we're stuck here”
Witchypoo heard, as she was standing near
“I could use a Rainbow Army, and you'll do just fine”
“You'll find you'll like it, on this land of mine”
Yarby was watching, from a distant tree
Was singing, so glad it ended happily
He flew off to a pond, to get a little wet
As he came in for a landing, down came a net
Just before he lost consciousness, he saw a blue man with purple hair
It got him thinking, what was Mesco doing here?
*
”Let go of me you blue monster, I've never done anything to you!”
Yarby was just birdnapped by a blue man, fitting Mesco's description too
The blue man smiled, “So you think I am Mesco, well you are wrong”
“Although he is my brother, we sing a different song”
“I am the smarter, and the better looking of us two”
Yarby did notice this one, had a lighter shade of blue
“Well, you kidnapped me,” Yarby chirped, “so it isn't so”
“It just goes to show you, the blue man said, “how little you know”
Yarby asked, “Where are you taking me, and why?”
“None of your business little bird, or you're going to die”
There was a boat on the shore
Yarby truly wanted to know more
As they boarded the boat and drifted away
“What is your name?” was all Yarby could say
“I am Besco, but my friends call me “Blue Shoe”
Yarby replied, “I don't get the shoe, but I understand the blue”
“Blue Shoe? Yarby wondered, “why a name like that?”
Besco smiled, “How'd you like to meet a cat?”
“I got the name because I like to stomp on the enemy”
At that moment, Yarby wished he was high up in a tree
Shore was seen, and that's where they went
That's when Yarby noticed one oar had a dent
Besco noticed Yarby looking, “I knocked the man on the head with an oar”
“He wouldn't let me take it, he asked what it was for”
Poor Pyar or Zyar, thought Yarby, as he looked ahead
He just hoped that neither one of them were dead
“I see shore ahead” Besco said with a smile
Yarby drifted off in thoughts to his friends at the Light Isle
You're probably wondering why Yarby didn't just fly away
The net that Besco kidnapped him in, helped to make him stay
Yarby knew if there was a way, it would be found
As Besco carried him, onto solid ground
Besco announced, “Just a short path, and we'll be there”
Yarby whispered, “It would be faster, if we went by air”
Besco laughed, “I can't fly, I have no wings”
Yarby responded, “But I can, and I'm the one who sings”
Besco changed so fast “I'm in no mood for music little bird!”
With that response, Yarby didn't utter another word
Once again Yarby's thoughts were with his friends, so far away
They wouldn't miss me, for many a day
He always had a habit of leaving, returning only when in need
Yarby would fly over the land, stopping only to feed
He loved to be free, and to explore the land from above
Sometimes he could imagine peace, and that he was a Dove
In the land of Ishkipa, the Witches land
We find rainbow Spiders, conversing in the sand
The Rainbow Witch is inside her castle today
If she saw them now, it would blow her mind away
The Spiders were discarding their Rainbow skin
It was a trick of magic, for they were out to win
Azaxo was grinning, if indeed it was a smile
The discarded Rainbow skins, were put into a pile
Azaxo raised his voice, “It's time to claim this world as our own”
There was one spider among them, who didn't like his tone
The Spiders were all chattering, and they didn't know
The Rainbow Witch had a crystal ball, and watched the whole show
Now that she knew everything, that she now knew
She had to think of what she was going to do
No problem there, one spider saw to that
Among those dirty spiders, was a dirty rat
All the spiders gathered, as that spider took the Witch out
What they planned for her, didn't leave any doubt
One spider next to her, vibrated at such a speed
The Rainbow Witch disappeared, the Dark Witch had been freed
Two Gitchies, with eyes and ears like a bird
Saw the transformation, and much was overheard
Knowing what to do, knowing what was right
They had to pass the information, to those at the Isle Of Light
Speaking of the Isle, the young sisters were being taught
While Pyar and Zyar, were showing fish that they caught
Zyar said “One of those fish must have had one hard bat”
Pyar replied, “I told you that some man had done that!”
Camileon was teaching his Granddaughters, more magic of the light
How to use it in defense, and how to use it in a fight
The Boomerang light spell, is when it comes right back
It is especially helpful, in a sudden attack
The Shimmer is especially helpful, to pass through anything
Vibrating at such a speed, going in a fast spin
They got better, with each lesson
Camileon too this, as a blessing
Yarby was sitting quietly in his cage
When Besco got moody, and went into a rage
Yarby saw him run out, screaming like never before
Then he saw two Gitchies, coming through the door
The Gitchies, set Yarby free
Only saying “Quickness is the key.”
Yarby wondered what that was all about
A nearby tree was on fire, Besco started to shout
Yarby followed the Gitchies out the door real quick
Besco was trying to put out the fire, but nothing did the trick
One of the Gitchies smiled, “It's a distraction spell”
“It's not a real fire, yet it is hard to tell”
“It'll go out when we are far from here”
“He'll be busy for awhile, we have nothing to fear”
“Where are you going to?” Yarby asked on the go
One Gitchy replied “Urgent news for some friends that you know”
Yarby said, “If you give me the news, I could fly ahead”
One Gitchy replied, “How would we know you arrived or were dead?”
Yarby never though about death, not in that way
He always thought, he'd live to see another day
Lost in thought, Yarby flew into a web that was across a tree
He tried so very hard, but he couldn't break free
The Gitchies below, thought maybe he flew ahead
Yarby knew he needed help, or soon he would be dead
Yarby let out a chirp, just enough so they'd hear
Without that spider knowing, it did reach their ear
His heart beating fast, he didn't have much time
While down below, one Gitchy had a fast climb
He saw Yarby, caught in webbing further up the tree
And tried thinking of a way to set him free
He wondered if his sharp thumbnail would do
He had to try, that is all that he knew
Gitchies could jump up so high
Some thought that they could fly
He jumped from branch to branch, up the tree
Looking for any danger, that he could see
Okarakara, was a true Gitchy at heart
He and his brother Rumpnel, were never seen apart
Always together, twins in every way
Until they came, upon this day
Okarakara, sharpened his nails on the bark
It helped a little, now to hit his mark
He was happy, that he let his thumbnail grow
Beyond that, there wasn't much more to know
Okarakara knew he'd have to make a jump and move
Hoping all would fall into place, and that his God would approve
Up high he jumped, cutting at the web in the tree
For the second time today, he set the yellow bird free
As fast as a Gitchy is, and now wearing a smile
Jumping branch to branch, he landed in a leaf pile
Yarby thanked him for cutting him free
Taking note to watch for any webs in any tree
Their destination, was to the Isle of The Light
Hoping they weren't too late, and everything was alright
Time would be a factor, because little did they know
The Witch and the Spiders, were already on the go
They were traveling, at quite a speed in flight
They also were headed, for the Isle of Light
As they flew over the wooded area, there was something they didn't see
A band of Warrior Gitchies marching, fierce looking they looked to be
Not the dark Gitchies, these fought for the light
But would they get there in time, even traveling by night
Finally Yarby and the two Gitchies, arrived at the shore
The Gitchies needed a rest, they couldn't take any more
Rumpnel told Yarby the news, that he had to share
And Yarby the brave warbler, took off into the air
Okarakara was hoping, the yellow bird would get there in time
Before the Spiders and the Witch, crossed the finish line
Yarby flew at such a speed, he had urgent news to share
As he got closer to the Isle, he lowered himself in the air
He spotted Camileon, sitting on a rock on the beach
Just a little farther, and he would be within reach
Caileon looked up, and saw Yarby start to land
The poor bird fell flat, right into the sand
“I have urgent news” Yarby said
“The Spiders are on their way, and being lead”
“No Rainbows any more, they have turned dark”
“The Witch is evil again, here is their destined mark”
Faster than anything, Camileon went to find
The others to tell them, all that was on his mind
The warriors of light, gathered in a big room
To plan a defense, to stop them from their doom
The sisters have practiced every day
Magic came easily, it was their family way
They wish they knew, how to beat these alien creatures
But they didn't have time, to study all their features
If Camileon and Yarby had stayed by the shore
They would have taken in a scene, too hard to ignore
One lone alien spider, landed in the sand
He wasn't there to make a battle stand
He didn't like what his fellow spiders had done
What they did, wasn't his idea of fun
He knew something that would stop the spiders in their tracks
Being a spider himself, who knew better all of these facts
Yarby, perched in a nearby tree
Couldn't believe what he did see
He calmly flew inside, to tell them the rest
Thinking, nobody would have ever guessed
The Light Warriors, came out to look
The lone spider stood as still, as an unopened book
Camileon spoke, “What are you doing here?”
It spoke softly, “I come in peace, no need to fear”
The lights all around got dim
Signs that they could trust him
A wonderful tune started to play
This spider, had much more to say
A plan to stop the spiders, for all time
But it meant that they would have to cross a line
The two sisters, and the brothers three
Followed this spider, beyond the time you see
To a place, where everything was strange
The spider needed help, with a plan to arrange
They were on a quest, to get the gel from the Wyndabodack
Which was hard to obtain, being gooey and black
A spidery creature, with a goo that could kill
Which lay in a valley, just beyond the next hill
Camileon turned into giant dragonfly, black as can be
Among the black gel, The Wyndabodack couldn't see
Combined with the power of the Warriors of Light
Together they would, contain the black gel real tight
Musiq pulled out a black bag, to hold the gel within
This would be the only way, that they could win
Musiq and Camileon, were very close to the black gel
While the other Light Warriors, put the Wyndabodack through hell
The black gel was contained, their exit was made
The Light Warriors were close by, ready to assist and aide
The rift back home was opened, and across they went
Happy it was a short visit, with a successful time well spent
Msuiq cautioned, “This toxic black gel should take care of them all”
“None of them will be left standing, all of them will fall”
Just outside the Castle of light
Filemma was wondering on wrong and on right
She knew the spiders, had to be stopped some day
Yet somehow this seemed wrong, in some way
The party that left, now had returned
Filemma was curious, on what they had learned
They had the gel, that would easily kill
Filemma got shaky, and then she went still
Domina felt the same way about it all
Yet she also knew, the alien spiders must fall
Mesco broke the silence, “they come from another world and place”
“They don't belong here, and won't leaves us to our own space”
Filemma still felt something wasn't quite right
So she let the thought pass, and centered on her light
There was a commotion outside, when Yarby flew in from his tree
“The dark force is coming, as far as the eye can see”
Camileon had the toxic gel ready, he'll let it go
Musiq would let him know, when to start the show
Orkid and Burdoko stood ready as well
As they watched the oncoming dark force from hell
“Stop!” Filemma yelled, “ We can't let them die”
Camileon smiled, “My dear girl, can you tell us why?”
“Yes,” Domina joined in, “because we are of the light”
“We only do things, when we know they're right”
Musiq was upset, his plans had gone astray
These girls of the light, they would have to pay
He threw the black gel at them, it would consume
And bring those meddling lightworkers, to their doom
Like a flash, Camileon put up a force field
Which acted with his magic, as a barrier shield
Camileon stretched the shield, so it covered them all
And then under it, made some sort of wall
Musiq took the black gel, and got ready to throw
There was something, that he didn't know
A light ray from Orkid, had turned the gel white
A pleasant surprise, from the worker of the light
Burdoko knew he would have to deal with the dark
Darkness was his specialty, as he aimed for his mark
The now white gel, flew up and hit the spiders as they arrived
Nobody was sure, of who got more deprived
They all got a chance, to play their part
Some of it was on Musiq, and he touched his heart
The spiders with the Witch, arriving in the air
Stopped where they were, and started to stare
A sound could be heard, enticing them each
It looked like Musiq, was ready to give a speech
Out of his mouth, came a beautiful song
Filled with his light, it didn't take long
Soon everyone was dancing, even the Witch too
They couldn't stop, it was all they could do
Camileon looked at Musiq, “Can't you stop?”
Then the spiders in the air, started to drop
They weren't dead, but couldn't move around
As they watched everything, from their place on the ground
Filemma, on the other side of Musiq, snuck up behind
Sending some light rays, right through his mind
Musiq looked around, confused on the where
Domina replied, “The Isle of Light, if you have a care”
“Oh,”Musiq replied, “I had planned to come here
“When someone whispered something in my ear”
Orkid stepped forward, “The Witch and Spiders controlled you”
“It was they that made you, do all that you do”
The Witch was spinning high up above
You could tell by her look, there wasn't any love
Musiq was so upset, and with the Warriors of Light
Decided it was time to end this fight
With the aide of the light, a melody was heard
Everyone watched, especially the yellow bird
Mesco's eyes went wide, as he started to stare
In the air, creatures coming from everywhere
The Witch and Spiders were overwhelmed, and scared at the sight
It was time for them to leave, there was too much light
They headed back, the way they had come
The creatures came closer, a beat of a drum
One little yellow bird, flew down low
This yellow bird, Yarby did know
“Yerblo, my brother, what are you doing here?”
Yerblo replied, “Trouble in the Hemmerdachs I fear”
Yarby had to go to help, so he bid farewell to his friends
They waved their goodbyes, and this chapter ends
