I
"I await the coming storm
And the change it brings
Who will join the cries of fate?
The violent flood of everything"
II
Scale the white mountains on which evil presides
Staggered by decaying stench
Of rust and leaden lakes
Twisted wires mangled 'twixt the monolithic trees
Mages test the strength of man
Weakened by disease
Threshing maw and gnashing steel
Pollute with acrid breath
Machinations granted life
By those who brandish death
Staff-flung boulders clear a path
Through black machines of hate
In the throes of this old wrath
A sullen people wait
III
"A spell was cast
And Earth pummeled by the gale
They summoned frost
And Metropolis bled by sharpened hail
Glacial downpour
Mage-winds had toppled the Towers of Gold
Great powers that were
Cannibalized by ego and pride"

To clarify: Part 1 is what an individual thinks before taking part in this battle.
Part 2 is when it happens. Part 3 can be read as if the battle happened long ago and its story is being retold to someone.
