Silversong Book One True Beginnings

Chapter One:

Bright as snow
Hard as stone
Glowing, Glistening
light is shown.
A murmur wispered
to the earth.
Quiet songs will bring it forth
the song of silver heard on earth.


The air was filled with light. Beams that burned through stone and flesh without distinction. Music followed the light in a dancing pattern through the stone ,untill the moment it touched the precious metal within. Silver melted and flowed to the surface creating a thin spidery web which covered the stone face.The music faded. The light dimmed.Only the soft glow of the miners glow sand held back the caves darkness .
An old man steped forward,he wore a faded red helmet, a pare of dirty trousers, and and black nee high boots. "Not much left at this site"the old man sighed taking off his helmet to wipe his sweating head. A young man of medium height stepped forward and addressed the older man "Gilland, we should send out a search party,this is the third cave thats been sung out this week and we know there arnt eny larg deposets around the area."Gilland frowned and turned his back to the younger man "We may find a larger load in the caves to the west, but we cant send enyone yet Scanald, it isnt time".
Scanald shrugged and turned fading into the tunnels darkness to make his way back to the surface.The path was remmembered not seen in the darkness that engulfed the tunnel.Finally fresh air wafted in through the caves mouth, he turned the last corner to see days light covering the land outside............www.silverssong.blogspot.com for the rest of the story starting 2010
