It IS more epic, I'm telling you!
an excerpt

Darkness swelled around them, threatening to envelope them in its malevolent cloud. A burst of maniacal laughter echoed around them, trailing away as the shadow’s conjurer began his accent to the starlit realm above, leaving the “bright ones” behind.
Illusion in mountains above the basilisk's crest
The shadow began to take from, bunching together into many-tentacled clouds, sending chills down the spines of the “bright ones.”
At the font of the blood river a path through the stars
The ghostly image of a girl hovered above their heads as she silently regarded them, staring emotionlessly at her would be destroyers.
Brings an object of power not yet created
The girl, merely a magical projection of her comatose and eternal from, held together by magics to great to be imagined, turned away and floated after the man who carried her preserved body from the room.
Power even over the God and Goddess
The shadow had floated closer, dividing apart as the elements separated apart. The “bright ones” felt the wall against their back and knew they had run out of space.
At its beginning the greatest armies will be roused to death
They had faced these enemies before and had defeated their like, but they knew they were overmatched by the force before them.
And it will be forgotten
They thought they had time, had thought that they could save the world, had sauntered in the tunnel they magically carved, never suspecting the truth.
Blood soaking the earth,
They had been but a few steps ahead of their enemy as they made the journey, passing so close to something so evil and never realizing their doom.
Washing memory clean
They had failed, he had walked out of the room with ultimate power, the one who had caused the Cataclysm.
It will be found by the bright one and be silenced.
It was almost funny, if you liked the macabre. the “bright ones,” would be heros, had been prepared to kill a young girl while the “dark one,” a mass murderer, had come to save the child.
It will be found by the dark one and be known by the tears
They had not stopped him from attaining what he sought; none could stand against him and his schemes, his desire, his thirst for power.
And innocent blood covering all the world, only one King.
