Legends of Belariath

Zingara's Songs

The Chirots Birth

The darkness was all the realm did hold
Spirits to float with no cause around
No knowledge of why in myth or facts
Then A winged man with two separate souls
Kiroan would be made as two spirits bound
Though he held wings of bird, his ears were a bats

Flawed by two souls wanting control
He split into two making his young
Brother and sister, looking so much apart
But each body now having one soul
The one with the feathers was his son
The other his daughter, both loved with full heart

Sheara was female, with Bat wings and ears
Kiroaja was Male, with beautiful feathers
Working as one they made the Greater Kingdom
Together they worked for millions of years
They made plant sky and beasts all together
Using souls from the void they made everyone

Then Looking back to the void they used more Spirits
Making the greatest of all t with greater purpose
Kiroaja made his named Kiroan, with wings all black
Sheara gave birth to her likeness the Chirots
And as the two ruled all seemed well on the surface
But jealous will cause one to be stabbed in the back…

Kiroaja was Jealous of his Sister it's true
So loved was she, it clouded his thoughts
She was far more loved it was clearly seen
And soon it came clear what he must do
To banish her away became all that he sought
Thus he came to a plan in his sick dreams

He called forth his children to the throne room
And opened a dark gate for Sheara to be cast
Once the elder was gone her Children were slaved
The Chirots, it seemed, they were doomed
Belariath was were Sheara found herself at last
Deep in the mountains deep in the caves

Sheara was not defeated, as Kiroaja had deemed
Thus she summoned elementals to aid her free
Having a portal be opened to Return to her from her plight
They returned her to home, but not magic enough it seemed
Trapped in to realms her and her children would be
And a need for revenge would bring forth the first of many fights

A savage war would rage for a great many years
Sheara sought Justice for the Betrayers act
Her now mortal chirots would stand by her side
As her children did fall, on belariath they appear
In the Chambers of Sheara to be exact
Sheara would help as so many had died

The ones on belariath she worked long to aid
All of hers skills were now also theirs
And cities were made with sudden progress
How to master earth's element is one of the ways
Another she blessed was control of the air
To master magic and blade was in turn their test

As time moved forth the Chirots grew stronger
She gave all their efforts a grand reward
Sheara used magic to weave their fate
As Chirots appeared in her Chamber no longer
When one fell in the Kingdom by Kiroan sword
They would be born into Belarith by loving mates

It gave great Chirots great since of peace
Reminding them Death's never to be the end
But instead it's only the start of their lives
Thus they feel no sorrow for the decease
As they die in one realm in the other they begin
And to End the battle with Kioraja is for all they Strive.
