I sat on a high perch and looked towards the horizon
   Gazing towards the coming night, I felt a fear I had never known
   It rushed upon me, it's flaming eyes enveloping the night.
   A beast like I had never seen, rushing straight towards me
   It hungered for blood, mine, so I ran far from it 
   As fast I rushed. I could not escpae it's oncoming fury.
   Then I feel upon a glade, with a tree, which seemed different
   Then I saw a man, dressed in silver and black and he bade me welcome.
   He raised his mailed fist and the beast knew fear then.
   It retreated knowing it could not best the man in silver and black.
   he bade me to stay and to be at peace...
   I asked him where I was.. he said.. "this is my world" ..
   I asked who he was and he simply smiled...and said.."a man, just a man.."
   Then he disappeared and as I walked from that glade with the tree..
   Everyday, seemed to be a new one and every shadow seemed to have..
   The Man in Silver and Black..
