***
It began a long, long time ago
When the earth was new and barren
Unhindered by the footfalls of man and beast
When the air was a tad clearer and the water even more so
The forests had only just begun to expand
And the winds were rugged
And the sands of time had yet to materialize
Over their majestic scape of terra
They were born from the ashes
Of the Great Spirit itself
They were tasked with one thing and one thing only
To bring balance to the planet
They would ride the swells and delve into the depths of the land
They would risk it all, and once they met their end
They would begin anew
For a spirit never dies
They had no names. Not then
They had no faces, no physical manifestations
Nor a language to call their own
But they would become great in time
The wolf, the raven, and the dragon
Evanescent spirits
Following the ebb and flow of nature
All they had was each other
The Three
The Spiritborne
Will once again arise
For a spirit never dies
