Interloper

The cataclysm caused the waters to rise and fall and eventually render seas dry

And these barren fields were once more walked upon by men

In the midst of the ever-stretching dunes

An expidition finds metallic ruins previously submerged

And excavations revealed a crash site of a vessel

A code was recovered from the insides

Its origin so old that its relations could be found in any culture

Before the Erasure befell

There was even further mystifications when the carved

Codes foretold the Erasure itself

Giant salt desert

Laid to waste under the scarring sky

A fitting symbiose for such settings

Into the deepening desert

Sow men the belief shield

Its splintering here lied buried

Paint men the portrait of consequence

With motives of dunes

-After weeks traipsing, they saw something

We never imagined such findings

Are we ment to solve the code

Or is it our undoing?

And in the deserts roamed lawless men

Existing in the shadow

Of what they could not understand

Ungodly asperous waste

What crazed prey would risk inhabitance?

Devoutly living off the barren plains

Awe of the relic unaccountable

Ulterior to the sands

We made our greatest discovery

Unexaminable alloys subsumed

And a component of uttermost significance

Their greatest minds solved the code partially

But no one knew what they would find

Ascertaining the existance of the unknown
