Forgotten Capital

The halls lie empty.
Echoed magic ripples
around them, misting
like fog in winter.

They turn, swords drawn,
the overloud rattle harsh
in the air – a foil
to death, floating

right on past
and they are safe
again, breathless
with relief, and alive.

This is great~ Captures the general mysterious and mythical atmosphere of XII perfectly.

Aah thank you! I completely forgot to link to the Forgotten Capital song, doh! I hope it was vaguely obvious that the place was the Necrohol of Nabudis, heh.

5 Points to Team Thief! :D

Oh wow...this poem was absolutely incredible to read. I thought you captured the feeling of the game's setting and plot quite remarkably and the imagery in the poem was just really astounding. Great job! ♥
