Song

You begin to sing "Winesong's Tale", a tale of a Halfling Trader by Minuet Sableclaw and Mori saVere-Ashke.

"Winesong was winsome, a bonny young lad

All women and money this Trader did have

But one thing eluded sweet Winesong's fair grasp,

The love of a maiden he had yet to clasp."

"The Halfling he went to Pheran that day,

The Priest that he trusted when he was away.

And Pheran he smiled, a glint in his eye.

A riddle gave to Winesong that he then did try,"

"There lay to the south a mythical horde

Where jewels and treasures of Old Times were stored.

Winesong's eyes were lit, he asked for the rules

His mind enraptured at the thought of the clues."

"So Winesong he set out upon this dark quest,

He traveled with none at the Priest's sole request.

'Return here a year hence, to win a woman your bride,

A woman of beauty to love at your side.'"

"'An if you come hither without winning the prize,

Then Urrem'tier shall gaze swift into your eyes.'

So the Trader he packed, the Trader he left,

His heart filled with stories of treasure unkept."

"Winesong, he traveled a year and a day,

To Mount Stonewind where the treasure did lay.

He unsheathed his sword, and bolstered his pride,

For the treasure he needed was hidden inside."

"He fought through the gateway into the dark tower,

He fought the unlife to the lone silent bower

That rested aloft in the heights in the snow,

Far on Mount Stonewind where few Halflings dare go."

"And there he broke down the dark wooden door,

Expecting to find a treasure of yore.

Instead there an Elf lay, bleeding near dead,

Her body tortured by Humans who fled."

"She stirred as he entered, her eyes flashing on him,

He saw her face then, and her smile turned grim,

She was not the lovliest maid he had seen,

But within her eyes her wisdom did gleam."

"Unthinking he cut swift the bonds from her arms,

She smiled weakly at his noble charms

As he helped her to rise and he helped her be free,

The gemstones forgotten as they then did flee."

"Winesong the Trader returned home with her,

He fed and he clothed the maid Nara as sure

As stars shine above us eternal and true,

And then the Priest came to visit the two."

"'Winesong, dear old friend, you have found the prize,

The treasure of ages that was lost to eyes.

Winesong, you have now the greatest of gold,

One who remembers the history of old.'"

"The Halfling he smiled at Nara his friend,

Though scarred he loved her, as Gods they did send

Him the woman he asked for, the one he had found

And as he looked at her, knew his heart was bound."

"So Winesong and Nara, they wed on the hill

In Arthe Dale, in springtime, beneath the stone mill.

In sunshine with flowers encircling each brow,

They made vows they kept that have lasted till now.

The song ends in an echo of a trembling vibrato.
