Snowy Haze

She emerges from the snow
A beautiful and calm face
A complexion only rivaled
by the snow itself
Soulful, brown eyes
denoting a long-ago sadness
despite the wistful smile
crossing her delicate lips

As I watch her approach
I'm suddenly drawn in
and a giant fortress breaches
the dark, grey heavens
It looms, menacingly, over the city
And burns a blinding, golden light
Reflecting in its terrible spires
Outlining horrifying, arabesque architecture
Forged by the Forgotten Ones
in an age before mankind's beginnings

Then it's gone
The light turns red,
the only color against the white landscape
As she walks off
disappearing in the snowy haze
