[GJW XIV Phase I] Fiction - The Old Tongue
Textual submission

There was a mysterious medallion hanging upon the beaded string. The string itself was made of corded leather, adorned with 13 white beads, discolored to be comparative in hue to that of an exotic fruit from Kashyyk. At a closer look, the beads are old knuckle bones, taken from those defeated in combat. Over the years, the beads have been worn down, smooth and rounded from the wear and tear of centuries. The medallion itself is made of an old tarnished metal, that slightly gives the glint of silver. In the center of the medallion is a blue gemstone, cobalt. Around the edges of the medallion, there are letters inscribed in the Ancient Sith tongue. The ancient text withheld a poem that reads like this:
In the light, in the peace
The paragons of justice cease

A shadow that lurks out of sight
Appears suddenly, its ravaging might

A war waged, hard fought
The aggressors unhappy with their lot

Between two giants, a series of deadly spars
The victor hold dominion over the stars

My poem is a couplet, with 4 stanzas.
