The sacred jewel
kept in good hands
a most powerful entity
in all the realm.

A sacrosanct stone
one for which everybody yearns
both good and evil…
It represents beauty and purity,
only those who seek it
will stop at nothing
to gain control.

It was created for goodness
and for those pure of heart.
If those of good morals desired it,
it grew even lovelier with its mystic glow.
Yet it was the most invincible force in all the lands,
and when those with wicked ways gained its power
the jewel was sullied.
It was blackened with hatred and betrayal.

Darkness can seize the light…
but if the light is strong enough,
it can grow brighter and brighter
until, its luminance overthrows the shadows.

The greedy ways of people
corrupted a divine body,
made what was once good, evil,
soiled what was purified.
For this jewel, in hands of darkness
can only create despair
with a world ruled in cruelty
so that even the Heavens will shatter…

Still seekers
who are righteous,
can cleanse the soiled stone,
and heal the scars of hatred,
and fix the befouled jewel.
If they look into the brightness
to try to save the lost
and to rid the world of evil,
an enchanting realm will rise.

Darkness can seize the light…
but if the light is strong enough,
it can grow brighter and brighter
until, its luminance overthrows the shadows.
