• Alveric's Journey Through Elfland

So it was that Alveric, after travelling towards the Elfin mountains, pushed through a hedge into a field untended, and there suddenly close before him was the frontier of twilight. It stretched across the field in front of him, blue and dense like water. He looked back once, over the fields we know, but nothing seemed to answer or heed his farewells, and so he strode on boldly into those long masses of twilight.

Bright as the sun, blue as the night,
Nothing stirring.
My eyes are blinded by the light,
Still I travel on.
I was never born to kill, but if I must, I will
I dare not fail,
And a task is laid on me.
Now a forest damp and dark
Looms around me,
There is evil in the air
And all around me.
Thick and black a clinging vine
Tries to hold me,
Now I understand the words
That the old witch told me.
Draw the sword, raise it high,
Now is not the time to die.
Draw the sword, wield it well,
Now is not the time to fail.

Chorus:
Runesinger, doombringer, be my light through the night.
Deathdealer, soulstealer, be my friend to the end.
Spire on spire, higher and higher,
Like blue sapphire, the palace looms.

Through portals wide she seems to glide
And I can neither breathe nor move.

With crown of ice and wondering eyes
She turns and sighs, “Who are you?”

“Mortal man, from Earth I am
From fields and lands you do not know.”

Crystal doors are open wide,
Guards are rushing,
Now the sword is in my hand,
Weaving, flashing.
There is blood upon the blade
And the bodies fill the glade.
At my side I hear a voice
“We must leave now for there is no choice.”
As we run I can hear
Her father's footstep ringing clear.
Fills with rage he climbs his tower,
Gathering his deadly power.
Dull and grey with earthly light
The Elfin border comes in sight.
Headlong through the mist together,
Soon we will be safe together.

Chorus

And so Lirazel looked upon the fields we know and Alveric watched her bringing her beauty to our fields more delicate even than the wild roses brought, and he saw that her crown of ice had melted away.
