The Riddle of Deep Pamyat

This was a riddle set by Lashonar in order that Liissa could enter the well at Deep Pamyat in Miekova, Varushka in order to regain her memories of Elsa the Fury.

Seven Folk came to Deep Pamyat Well

Led by one with a tale to tell

of a ragged hole torn deep and wide,

the pain of remembrance cast aside.

Seven Folk came to Deep Pamyat Well

the next with music wove a spell

the nightborn guardians' tempers soothed,

the path to recollection gently smoothed.

Seven folk came to Deep Pamyat Well

The third was one who did impel

From the leader, sorrow, gried,

and a need to seek relief.

Seven folk came to Deep Pamyat Well

The fourth prepared, to inhale, foretell.

Before the guardians, took first draught,

of visions, dreams, a seers craft.

Seven folk came to Deep Pamyat Well

The fifth brought a bargain to compel.

A memory bright to leave behind,

but not so deep to harm their kind.

Seven folk came to Deep Pamyat Well

In understanding Sung, one did excel

and spoke for the guardians' a shining truth

exploring the mystery of their night roots.

Seven folk came to Deep Pamyat Well

The last the guardian's fears did quell,

groomed nails and hair and whispered kindly

"tend you I will, and never blindly"

Seven folk returned from Deep Pamyat Well

Every one with a tale to tell

The saddest with lacuna healed

The kindest, with a crystal yield.

Seven folk came to Deep Pamyat Well

How long ago no one can tell

The guardians say it'll happen again

When one seeks a memory full of pain.
