The following is a summary of Elwen's story thus far. If you get lost in this overview, all the details of this great reading may be found here in the Assembly Room.

 

I tried to give this a Norse Edda chanting feeling.

 

I hope you enjoy this Elwen.

 

Peredhil

 

Hear story of Lirya Moonflower, a starlit Elven bard,

In Roselyn’s temple physical healing is found.

Enchanted Harp she has won, a deed quite hard.

 

Consider Lady Elwen, a nine-tail Kitsune thief

Ancient fox spirit bound to Lirya’s prenatal being.

Now these twinned spirits feel a common grief.

 

She’s pining away, unreturned love; she’s torn apart.

The lovely gray-bright eyes now dark have gone

Life’s will dashed by demon-elf flight at offering of heart.

 

Summoned Lirya’s body twin Aural telepathically feels her peril

He’s torn seeing her weep hopeless tears of loss without sound.

In haste he and his familiar Justeen begin seeking Damon Inferel.

 

The maiden’s love is finally found- although he’s still on edge.

For each time his memory or dream replays her word of love.

He flees his feelings and hers, knowing he’s unworthy of her pledge.

 

As Damon, Aural and Justeen make hasty return to Elwen’s side,

Will they make it before Elwen and Lirya fade forever away

Can half-demon overcome his fear of love and swallow his pride?

Bravo, dear boy, bravo. I very much enjoyed this. I am in hopes my ashke will as well. Brilliant work.

 

(P.S. I never critique poetry because I'm not good at it, or I'd have a critique... if I was able to find anything wrong with it, that is.)
