"Forest of the Night" - Original Song 06/28/2007 09:24 PM CDT
wrote this song for my Bard, Maximillyn. I'd love to get comments (^_^)

You recite:

"Doubtless some of you have traveled the gondola to Shard,
And perhaps you've felt a stir of cold air in the night,
A shiver up your spine that came from more than the chill?
Here is the tale of what you think you might've seen...."

You wistfully sing in a tenor voice:

"Prophecy of Elven mage, talisman must crafted be,
Four and one years did they work, weaving all their sorcery,
Evil was its mortal bane,
Meant to join the lands again,
Carrying it the bright one came,
Princess Anloralhe."

You wistfully sing in a tenor voice:

"Token of a new-born peace, woven by the Elvenkind
Elotheans strove as well to leave shattered dreams behind
Darkness would not be forgot
Leased its final parting shot
Meant to strike down on the spot
Fair Anloralhe."


You darkly sing in a tenor voice:

"Snowbeast crafted from dark magics, set to hunt the lady down
All her fellows stricken dead, she with blood upon her gown
Forfet life, and forfeit soul
Now the lands will ne'er be whole
This the necromancer's goal,
Slay Anloralhe."


You softly sing in a tenor voice:

"Then the words of prophecy echoed once more in her mind
Found her courage, Anloralhe, left this mortal world behind
Her life's blood the final pay
Set the beast upon its way
Holy light that sprang that day
From Anloralhe."


You softly sing in a tenor voice:

"Lost both life and talisman, cruel the cost and failed the quest
Sorrowing, the Elvenkind laid their lady's form to rest
But still the gondola soars the air
Though no mortal guide is there
But some have seen, and this they swear,
Ghostly Anloralhe."

Late to the table here. I like it. I'm lousy at verse, but I do like to tell a good story.

"We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition."

- Henry V, William Shakespeare
