Sunstone

In the depths of the wood, where the sun rarely shines,
Sunstone emerged, with a heart full of hope and a spirit that shines.
He was a black and gold pearlcatcher, with eyes of fierce gold,
With each step, he proved his worth, young and bold.

He came across the Lantern Bearers, a clan of old,
Led by Citrine, with wisdom and knowledge untold.
He offered to join their ranks, and lend his aid,
Citrine saw his potential, and welcomed him without delay.

Sunstone was eager to learn, with every task he excelled,
With his strong wings and sharp mind, he proved himself well.
He helped the clan in every way he could,
With each passing day, his reputation grew and stood.

Years went by, and Citrine saw his potential,
She saw in him a worthy successor, a leader consequential.
She took him aside, and told him the news,
That one day, he would lead the clan, it was no ruse.

Sunstone was taken aback, and filled with emotion,
To be chosen by Citrine, the highest honor and devotion.
He promised to honor the clan and Citrine's legacy,
And lead with wisdom, courage, and empathy.

With Citrine's guidance, he trained and learned,
To be a leader that the clan deserved.
He waited patiently, for the day to come,
To lead the Lantern Bearers, his new home.

And when the time arrived, he stood tall,
Ready to lead, to answer the call.
With the sun on his scales, and hope in his heart,
Sunstone took on his new role, ready to start.
