Riddles and Songs

by Eeva
The following are riddles of my land and home! Skarsind is a cold land, and often in the evening there is little to do but sit by a fire and share songs and stories. These, perhaps, will help to start as you then tell your own in those great halls.

A Riddle
I'm one among seven,

In battle and war.

I'm steel and I'm fire,

In whisper and roar.

You find me in kisses,

When love's first admit.

You find me in stern words

When opinion is split.

But more often than not,

It's silent I come,

Chasing darkness and doubt

From the deeds must be done.

The Song of Elsa
This is the song of Elsa the Fury.

Her golden hair stretched to the base of her back,

As fair as the blades that she took out the battle,

She charged down the Thule and she gave them a whack!

Her courage was stalwart and never did falter,

In Winter and Summer, in Spring and in Fall.

Though the foul hordes were many, she bravely stepped forward,

To lend out her sword-arms and answer the call.

On one such day in the darkest of winter,

Young Elsa was summoned to fight off the Thule,

For they threatened her homeland with undead, foul creature,

The War Rhino risen, horn bloodied and cruel.

At the sight of the beast, hard warriors trembled,

Their rage heating blood and the memories raw.

But Elsa's swords hungered for violence and vengeance,

And into its hide, her blood blades tore.
