Song

You begin to sing "Song to Lost Children", by Siryn Mistbringer.

"Oh darkness that I look through
with my candle at my side.
Shining through the shadows
as the moons ride night's tide.
"Sitting by this window
with my sorrow in my hands
What thief would dare to do this?
What monster make such demands?"
"For I was found, but now I'm lost
For I was rich, but I've paid the cost
The loneliness fills me and won't let go
And all I wish to know...
All I wish to know...."
"Oh stars that would distort darkness
And pin it to the sky
You hear not all my weeping
this sing's broken cry.
"The hounds that crashed through the windows,
the reavers that on lightning flew
And where they went I knew...
and my sword I drew --
"But I didn't arrive soon enough...for you."
"For my heart was full, but now it's half
For I thought I had all, now I find all I have --
Is a memory, and a fable, and nothing to show
And all I wish to know...
All I wish to know...."
"The window to your room is empty
The smell of ozone gone
They came and left in darkness
A year ago -- so long.
"I thought they'd call a ransom
I thought they'd return you
But I know now that's not...true.
Oh gods, what did they do with...?"
"For I was found, but now I'm lost,
For I was rich, but I've paid the cost,
The loneliness fills me and won't let go,
And all I wish to know....
All I wish to know....

You whisper the last line, "Where did you go?"
