There was a green flash in night sky,
A second later a loud bang was heard,
The townsfolk looked up to the heavens.
What could it have been?
The priests in their temple observatories consult their codexes,
Huddling in groups they argue and debate,
The dawn of Aries is due but not now.
Reinvestigate prophecies they cried!
Life returned to normal,
The people of Goryu went about the business
Though each night a shadow sped towards them.
Unseen it traveled its destined route.
Cohen stood at his lector,
The papyri lay open at verse twenty-two,
He span round to the arch,
The Hunter was different tonight.
It had been a full moon cycle since the flash
The priests had passed it of as a warning from Anu,
Cohen was disgruntled by his peers,
The prophecy in the papyri indicated tomorrow!
