"Divine Spears and Ghostly Lightning Dance Across Southern Heaven" Opening Verse: The War God's Shore

...The War God's Shore...

I recalled the fairy's feast upon the immortal shore,

The five lakes sang together of the great river's surge.

How often spilled wine had stained immortal sleeves,

Drunk, I drew my sword and challenged divine heroes.

I had just watched a phoenix soar above auspicious trees,

When I heard the dragon palace brimmed with jade.

I plucked a single piece and took it away,

To fasten at a beauty's waist.
