Bard's song from Chapter 44 — Nightmares
Where no light shines, forest old and deep,
Where shadows dance, and secrets sleep,
An elven princess, with eyes of ice and moonlit hair,
In the dark of night, you pray... You pray for her to stay away!
She stalks the woods with children pair,
Their golden eyes, like embers, glare!
They tread so light, with steps so sly,
And leave no trace beneath the sky.
Winter's breath, the snowflakes fall,
Lost in the storm, you hear her call.
No footprints found, no blood, no bone,
Just children's laughter, their satisfied moan.
The villagers whisper; they tell no lies,
Of hungry elven princess, a beast disguised!
In the winter, when snow falls deep,
She hunts when others sleep...
