Trots on, a Wiser Stallion
by UndomeTinwe
O Princess of the Moon and Stars
I beg you grace this mortal voice
To tell the story of a scar
That led to final tragic choice
Upon a town of no remark
Along the shores where monsters tread
A song does slither from the dark
Sung by Three who spun their threads
And when our Heroes do approach
To find the mob of thralls in wait
Enchanted with a dread reproach
Channelling Sirenic hate
With Sorcery and Healing both
A spell to spread a tincture cast
To turn their rancour into sloth
A lazy slumber most steadfast
Onwards to a cave aglow
Luminous with hateful wealth
A treasure not in gems or gold
But power drained from others' health
Deep within the Sirens' lair
Hubris now exacts its toll
An unseen censor taints the air
With music that would fain cajole
To the Sorcerer a throne
Befitting of his intellect
To the Gardener a home
With flowers most sublime bedecked
The Legionnaire his glory due
Beneath a gilded laurel crown
The Healer and the Hopeful too
A world where pain is never known
Blinded by a light so false
With wisdom born of naught but lies
Our Heroes dance a deadly waltz
A war to see their final prize
Then a deadly blow is struck
By one most Mighty at the Helm
Titanic Strength as axe is stuck
Within these beasts to save the realm
For the Mighty Helm had all
He ever wanted in this world
The Strength to save his friends and haul
Them out of danger afterwards
One by one the others stir
Embarrassment and gratitude
As each recall the lies they spur
Rejecting former attitude
For a throne breeds laziness
And Beauty comes but from within
A crown is most extraneous
And Sadness is but Joy's true kin
Celebration in the town
The Sirens slain, then banished hence
So drink your fill until you drown
In triumph of our common sense
Yet this tale speaks but of Six
For there is one whose mind did not
Escape that cave and Sirens' tricks
And so that night began to plot
With poisoned wisdom did his soul
Now rot with every passing night
Until, at last, they say he stole
The treasures which would grant him might
And so begins another tale
One wreathed in shadows and despair
Another time we might regale
With final fall and final snare
But for now I humbly ask
For vigilance towards your friends
That seeds deceitful cannot bask
In light that shines from darker ends
I beg you grace this mortal voice
To tell the story of a scar
That led to final tragic choice
Upon a town of no remark
Along the shores where monsters tread
A song does slither from the dark
Sung by Three who spun their threads
And when our Heroes do approach
To find the mob of thralls in wait
Enchanted with a dread reproach
Channelling Sirenic hate
