Bound in Blood (Broken Bloodlines Book 3)
Bound in Blood: The Lost Prophecies of Fiere

VI. Including the elusive final stanza, known as the forgotten verse.

Until the balance tips to inevitable destruction,

the sands of fate shall shift unrelenting.

And those who cannot live in peace,

shall thrive amongst the anarchy.

Until Chaos swallows whole the universe once more

and Gaea, Tartarus, and Eros do mourn.

But there is one who can save the fates of all.

For the child borne of fire and blood

shall be our ruin or our redemption.

Bringing balance to the new world order,

be it through peace or total annihilation.

Though, take heed⁠—

the one who first drinks from the untouched vessel,

pale as alabaster stone,

for it is they who will determine its poison or its nectar.

And those who thirst for the crimson rivers of mortal veins

shall face the insurmountable task of their birthright.

They must choose the path of the righteous,

or face the damnation of the eternal.

But if the Chosen One can slay the three-headed dragon⁠—

if the untamable beast does kneel at its new master’s feet,

and the light is tempted back from the darkness,

then they shall awaken the protector of man.

And the sun must swallow the shadows

to bring a balance that reigns through the ages.
