Galatta and the battle of the Boar

Below the cut is a piece written by our member Snowflake about a part of our year one lore piece for Galatta.

Galatta was tasked to slay the boar

Whose tusks would rend the earth infertile

It appeared every spring

To rip up the earth

Poison and slash at Galta and worse

It's poisons so dark she could not heal

From the treacherous blows the boar would deal

Galatta left to hunt the boar

And bring its tusks back to mother earth

As she wandered she came across a patch of forest

Still and unmoving and covered in death

Devastation being the only thing left

The sight that was seen left Galta with no words

So much destruction had left her unnerved

And then finally she saw the boar

For four days Galatta tried to slay the beast

But bringing it's death proved to be a tremendous feat

For the arrows she shot at it didn't seem to work

They'd bounce off its hide and fall to the earth

Leaving no scratches

Not even a mark

Galatta began feeling despair in her heart

And injured she fled

From that grove full of dead

And she came to a clearing

Where she decided to rest

And as she rested a messenger came

A beautiful crow

It's feathers snow white

A magical creature a marvelous sight

The crow spoke and it said

“lady of ivy you've treated us well”

“and so I've come to offer you my help”

“for you treat us not as signs of death”

“but like decent creatures oh yes”

“I'll tell you the boar is a strong spiteful soul”

“due to the rays of light he wove”

“into his flesh, his skin and his bones”

“creating a near impenetrable hull”

“but this creature of death has one weakness oh yes”

“for its weak to things of the light that will bring its death”

Before she could thank it

The crow it was gone

And in its place three white feather that shone

They looked like the light

That would help slay the boar

then Galatta gathered her arrows and bow

Repaired them with the feathers that glowed

Satisfied she left to face the boar once more

In her heart she knew this time she would win for sure

She encountered the boar

And she firmly stood her ground

As the boar charged it's bellowing could be heard all around

Unwavered Galatta fired a shot from afar

And the arrow of sun it pierced the boar's eye

Blinded the boar let out a demonic cry

Galatta loosed another arrow from her bow the arrow of the stars

Again she did not fail to hit her mark

The arrow it pinned the boar to the earth

Then lastly she fired the arrow of the moon

Swiftly it flew straight and true

Into the boar's heart with a tremendous thud

Fiercely the boar let out one final roar

And then it ceased to be any more

The battle was over Galatta had won

And so she thanked the moon, stars , and sun

As the boar faded away

A prayer she made

For its soul to find peace and let it's anger fade away

Galatta gathered the boars tusks and turned towards home

With knowledge the beast would no longer roam

A poem by Snowflake to honor Kenoshen:

Hope is eternal The wings on which we fly Chasing our dreams through the sky Hope is the rose in the concrete A light in the dark A driving force for one and all Coming straight from the heart

A poem by Snowflake to honor Animum: 

Listen closely to the stars

And hear their glorious song from afar

And see the planets dancing in the sky

And notice Animum gliding by

Ruling over his kingdom filled with light

Free from conflict free from spite

You may join them all in harmony

In this beautiful kingdom where all are free
