Court of Death

Mashalek’s courtroom became a cacophony of debate after Kyrai was born
Gone were the days of Cerci’s silent sentencing
When judgments were swift as lightning and cold as ice
While the dead groaned through gritted teeth
Yet with her idealism and youth, Kyrai became the attorney
Defendant of the dead and merciful to all repentant sinners
With her ledgers piled high, Kyrai brought her victories to the Forest of Rebirth
While her losses resided in Mashalek’s dominion
Tortured for eternity till he grew tired of listening to their wails
Cerci lamented her visits to the ashen grey, dismal Underworld
Though the Forest of Rebirth was a refuge for life itself
Bonding the two opposing deities in competitive camaraderie
But their friendship wither like a summer flower
For Kyrai always took the side of her banished mother
