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.
