At Caer Palisades

Mikhail and Shayndel laying in a bed,
Each kinda looking like they might be dead
When Dylan vaults over and sets up base
as Rope starts to slither all over the place

Chuckie calls for order as Summer makes do
with Cat and Corey coloring with chalk of varied hue
when Caspian pulls out his stained glass knives
and the poor little bard runs for her life.

This is the Ultimate Showdown, of Ultimate Destiny
Unseelie, Seelie and Other
All gathered around this tree.
We don't know if they'll survive
Or, for that matter, will we?
This is the Ultimate Showdown, for Apples and the NE.

Sundance shakes his head and reaches for the hammer
as Damon chugs down another Alabama Slammer
James reaches for his pipe and Summer for her book
Wondering if the Dreaming wouldn't bother for a look
at what's going on here and it says, "Look around"
Because the faces being shown are the ones in the crowd.

Clarabelle the Sluagh knows something she's not telling
And what Ari says and Damon says is certianly not gelling.
There's Logan saw an apple tree with golden apples on it
And Sundance strikes the test of strength and didn't hit the bonnet.
The redcap standing by the door hocks a loogie and replies,
"They made their choice, we backed 'em up, now let 'em live or die!"

This is the Ultimate Showdown, of Ultimate Destiny
Unseelie, Seelie and Other
All gathered around this tree
We don't know if they'll survive
Or, for that matter will we?
This is the Ultimate Showdown, for Apples and the NE.

"The Impossible Dream? Hey, I know that chorus!"
And up from the din rose Logan Almaris
With a swirl of gold-russet and a rustling of leaves
He silenced the crowd and got them on track
While Damon got vodka out of his pack
Herla scratched his head, and started to say,
"These visions might be wierdly clear, let's think on it, okay?"

Dylan called for his Riders, and sent them to fly
A cloaked figure in the corner mused how time had gone by.
Sammy and FarFung had went off to explore
Charles looked within his head for bits of useful lore.
Caspian guarded Shayndel and in his blurring wings
The faintest trace of vision could be seen among the things
that Ari the Eshu and Everest the 'Cap
VonFolgerstien the Nocker, who is ready for a nap.
A drunken pooka general, bards perrenial, the little boggan doctor
and seers most celestial,
all put together and puzzled in thier heads
While the forces were gathered to go make amends
It is the strangest mystery that Apples ever saw
With a poor bard looking on in toal awe.

It seemed like they talked for a century
Many nerves were frazzled but eventually
The plan was fortified, the people start to leave
Off to Vermont and their destiny!

This is the Ultimate Showdown, of Ultimate Destiny
Unseelie, Seelie and Other
All gathered around this tree
We don't know if they'll survive
Or, for that matter will we?
This is the Ultimate Showdown, for Apples and the NE.

This is the Ultimate Showdown, of Ultimate Destiny
Unseelie, Seelie and Other
All gathered around this tree
We don't know if they'll survive
Or, for that matter will we?
This is the Ultimate Showdown, for Apples and the NE.
