The halls lie empty.Notes
I wrote this for my poetry workshop in ff_land's Thief community, waaaay back in 2011. With the re-emergence of my Huge FFXII Fangirlery, I figured I'd post it here so it can go with everything else!
The poem was written around the Necrohol of Nabudis, one of my favourite places in Ivalice.
See the end of the work for more notes
The halls lie empty.
Echoed magic ripples
around them, misting
like fog in winter.
They turn, swords drawn,
the overloud rattle harsh
in the air - a foil
to death, floating
right on past
and they are safe
again, breathless
with relief, and alive.
AFTERWORD
The theme song for the Necrohol of Nabudis is called The Forgotten Capital, and is beautiful
