This is a fresh papyrus scroll, written on with blue-black ink. It is very neatly inscribed, whoever wrote this was a true artisan. It is entitled 'Hagar's Poem', and a picture of an orchid is woven into the 'H'. A lot of love and dedication has been put into making this scroll.
---Hagar's Poem---
In the lands of far away
Where trees are made of gold
There lived a Prince of many riches
Here his life's story will unfold
He built his fortune on misery
On the pain of generations oppressed
The untold suffering of those
Tortured at his bequest
And yet this Prince seemed noble
His towers caressed the sky
Yet none but a widow
Seemed to hear the wailing cry
The windows made of glass that shrieked
The walls attached with blood
The ceilings hung with skeletons
Their dignity trod in the mud
Then one day returned a stranger
From far and distant land
Not a welcome face indeed
But one met with dagger in hand
This stranger shared a blood bond
With magic deeper than any sin
And so this brother witnessed
The horrors that lay within
The brothers fell to fighting
Their sly tricks flew left and right
The only aim of these two warriors
The end of the other's might
And so it came to pass one day
That the stranger obtained the key
And set about with honest intent
To open it for all to see
And yet the stranger succeeded
In his aim of clarity
The tyrant still won over
With a pretence of charity
For although the palace was opened
The floors were all scrubbed clean
The bloodstains all removed
Its history now unseen
The Prince pretended generosity
He offered the palace up free
And commissioned his architects
To draw up plans for all to see
And so the sad story paled and died
The legend told no more
The castle's dirty secret
Hidden beneath the floor
But now the castle is moved
Rebuilt stone by stone
The bloody rooms where screams resounded
Now sing with music's tone
But listen carefully to my words
For in them lies the past
The wicked Pharaoh's cellar
With treasure that time has passed
Seek out this treasure
Search the coffers and lift the lid
For if you find the very place
A Pharaoh's treasure shall be unhid
--Hagar
