The Journals of Al-Hambra Act III

Contributed by baronhawk on Saturday, 3rd April 2004 @ 05:17:13 PM in AEST
Topic: StoryPoetry



So the Order of Cincinnati
began to flex its muscles
grants and debentures given
for research in Egyptian culture

a professor of ancient history
from the University of Miami
made the breakthrough discovery
with the help of Talamasca

an obscure reference was found
of a vase carried to Palestine
which was given by Egyptians
as an offering for a treaty signed

later it was moved
to the site of the the city of Acre
adorning first a temple
then a mosque and later a church

as the centuries flows
the tale of the vase was followed
protected by the Knights Templars
as a relic of ancient power

but after the crusades was lost
the vase was carried to france
but later in the Templars' fall
it was carried by fleeing knights to Ireland

after months of intense study
a clear signifier was found
the vase of Al-Hambra's tales
was hidden in the Monastery of St. Alban

so the Order of Cincinnati
dispatched its forces to Ireland
to St. Alban's Monastery
to recover the vase that's told

In the guise of an exercise
with the ships of Britain's Royal Navy
an Osprey was launched
from the decks of a submarine carrier

like a stealthy bird of prey
the Osprey slips on by
flying through the night
to the monastery's sheltered bay

twelve men they were
the marines from Force Recon
fast-roping down to earth
from the Osprey's silent hover

creeping in the night
in gear that's just as black
the marines quickly overpower
the St. Alban monks in quick time manner

prods and batons were swung
bean-bag munitions fired
darts filled with potions
the monks asleep were rendered

in the holy of holies
a sanctum sealed deep
lies the codex and keys
to the journals Al-Hambra keeps

as the story in a double layered vase it sits
between pottery and copper facings
worked into the space in between
a sheet of treated papyrus sitting upon glass

the monks were drugged perchance they remember
come morning the night was to them a blur
the marines then withdrew
to board their transport with debriefing crew

a speedy transport was then dispatched
to the Talamasca the codex and keys
a study to begin upon receipt
to discover the secrets that Al-Hambra keeps.
