Venatus, Shadow Hunter
It was just a week till solstice, and the nights were turning chill
And the battle turned to stalemate, double-bluff, and feint and drill
When a shadow drifted northward, just a shadow, nothing more.
No one noticed that the shadows grew all darker that before.
No one noticed that the shadows seemed to creep into the heart,
But from then the fight for freedom seemed a fool's quest from the start.
All the hopes that they had cherished seemed unreasoned and naive
Nothing worth the strength to pray for, or to strive for, or believe.
And the shadows stole the sunlight from the brightest autumn day,
As they sang a song of bleakness that touched every heart that heard
As they whispered words of hopelessness, all courage fled away,
And they wove a smothering blanket over all, that lived and stirred.
Knight Venatus came upon them, and he sensed a subtle wrong,
And there was some Force working; deeply hidden, yes, but strong.
And it moves and worked in secret, like poison in the vein
Like a poison meant to weaken, this was power meant to drain.
Knight Venatus saw the Shadows, and they turned their wiles on him
For one moment even he began to fell his spirit dim-
But he saw their secret evil, and he swore ere he was done
He would stalk and slay these Shadows, and destroy them one by one.
Knight Venatus, Shadow Stalker, hunted Shadows to their doom
They turned all their powers upon him, turned away from other men
And although they strove to take him, he unwove their web of gloom.
So the Shadows fled his anger, their creator sought again.
Knight Venatus faced the Singer who had sung them into life
And she sang to him of grief and loss that cut him like a knife.
And she sang to him of self-hate, and she wove a net of pain
With her songs of woe and hopelessness bent to be Venatus’ bane.
"So now what is there to strive for?" was the song she sang to him.
And the shadow came upon his heart, the world grew gray and dim.
But the Singer of The Shadow did not know the foe she fought,
Now how dear he held his duty, nor by what pain power was bought.
Knight Venatus looked upon her, and he saw through her disguise
And she strove then to seduce him into death or madness sweet.
Knight Venatus looked within him, and he saw her songs were lies,
Rousing up his will then, her powers to defeat.
The Phoenix raised his golden voice and sang of life and light,
Of the first cry of a baby, of the silver stars of night.
Knight Venatus spoke of wisdom, spoke of courage, spoke of love,
Of the earth's sweet soil beneath him, of the vaulting sky above,
Sang of healing, sang of growing, poems of joy and hope and dreams,
And the Singer Of The Shadows felt the death of all her schemes.
It was then she tried to flee him, but the power of his spell,
Struck her down and held her pinioned and she faltered, and she fell.
Then the Singer Of the Shadows saw her Shadows shatter there,
Saw her lies unmade before her, saw her darkness turned to day
And how empty and how petty was the spirit then laid bare-
Like her Shadow then she shattered, and in silence passed away.

The Force’s Pride - The Force’s Price
Every year the Master’s choose, as they have done before,
The Younglings come with shining hopes to learn the Jedi’s lore.
And every year the Masters sigh, and give the same advice
"All those who would hold The Force’s Power must then pay it’s Price."
Oh there was danger in the Sea-That's all that Venatus knew.
An enemy of power dark sought Jedi out-then slew.
But only those with the Force’s Gift were slain by silent rage
Till Venatus of them all was left the only Vahla Mage.
Yes, from the Sea the danger came, beyond the Border far
The space between did not stay Dark Death, nor did their Temples bar.
And Venatus cried-"we die, my kin, and know not why nor where!
So send me forth, Masters, that I may find the answers there!"
Then North went his troop -not alone, though 'twas of little aid
He was like to be to his allies; and Venatus was afraid
He feared that he would fail the quest, a burden prove to be
Dared not let his Order go alone to face dark sorcery.
So out beyond the Border there, beyond the forests tall,
Into a metal jungle they went that stood an ocean wall
To find the wall had cracked and found there was a passage new,
A path clean cut that winding ran a level course and true.
This path was wrought by dark crafts; Venatus knew that when he saw
This plot was hewn by power alone, a power he felt with awe
But to what purpose? Something moved beyond them on the trail;
He watched and hid-and what he
Found there turned him cold and pale.
Assassins moved in single file, by Force cloaked and hid
An army moved on Maanan that marched as they were bid
A darker force than weaponry controlled the men and place,
For Venatus looked-and Venatus knew an ancient evil's face.
Then Venatus turned to his allies, and he told the Jedi to ride
To warn the Galaxy as large - “They call me 'Vahla’s Pride.'
It's time I earned the name-now go! I'll hold these dark ones back.
Until the Army of Light can counter their attack."
So it was they fought, and no living tongue can tell
How the Jedi fought, nor what they wrought, nor how our Phoenix fell.
The Jedi came-but not in time to save their fellow Mage,
Although the grounds were scorched and cracked by magic power's rage.
They fought the Dark Ones back although they came on wave by wave.
No trace they found of Venatus, nor of his companions brave
They only found the kyber, the gift of Aliyah’s hand
Now blackened, burned,
And shattered by the power that gripped the land.
And still the seas of the North guards Maanan from harm-
For a Jedi’s dying curse is stronger far than mortal arm.
And every year the Younglings come, despite the old advice-
"All those who would be the Force’s Pride must then pay it’s Price."

The Phoenix Child (Wild)
I am the firebird! I am his daughter!
I am the Phoenix child!
I am the firebird! I am his daughter!
And like the flame, I am wild wild wild wild WILD!
I am the firebird! I am his daughter!
I am the Phoenix child!
I am the firebird, the boldest song you've ever heard
Join in the dance, and make it wild, wild, wild!
Join in the dance and make it wild!
To see a maiden dance around a fire is not so strange
but fire dances round the limbs of this uncommon mage!
Be brave enough to burn and you'll be brave enough to fly!
Join your sister as she lights the morning sky!
Wonders of the water, air and earth are all the same
you'll never know a wonder like the wonders of the flame!
Freely fly as what you are and never walk in shame!
You must not fear to blister if you'd live a life in flame!
I am girl and firebird and Kathry is my name!
I am the firebird! I am his daughter!
I am the Phoenix child!
I am the firebird! I am his daughter!
And like the flame, I am wild wild wild wild WILD!
I am the firebird! I am his daughter!
I am the Phoenix child!
I am the firebird, the boldest song you've ever heard
Join in the dance and make it wild
If you're brave enough to dance then you are brave enough to fly!
Forget what's right and proper! You won't know until you try!
If you're brave enough to fly, then you are brave enough to burn!
Take my hand and join me in the Carnival of Dawn!
Sister will you follow me?
Sister will you follow me?
Sister will you dance with me?
Sister sorrow walk with me!
Sister will you follow me? Sister will you dance with me?
Sister sorrow walk with me! Sister will you follow me?
Sister will you burn with me? Sister will you follow me?
Sister sorrow dance with me!
Like a flame you must be wild/I am a firebird!
Like a flame you must be wild/I am a firebird!
Like a flame you must be wild/I am a firebird!
Like a flame you must be wild
I am the firebird! I am his daughter!
I am the Phoenix child!
I am the firebird! I am his daughter!
And like the flame, I am wild wild wild wild WILD!
I am the firebird! I am his daughter!
I am the Phoenix child!
I am the firebird and Kathry is my name
