Arawn an Ístrin

Pronouns: he/him
Player: Freya C (she/her)

Blood-stained stone, beat beneath,
Feet fleeing in retreat,
Two puffins fly, seeking return,
Fearing swing, o' steppe's steel,
Honour's corruption, close behind,
A vicious beast, pursuing prey,
Steppe by Steppe, fierce warriors felled,
Doomed men, ne'er home return.

Arawn strode, strong soldiers in Steppe,
Wretched Honour, her wrath is fled,
Young kin, wide-eyed, naive to death,
Pained puffins, pulled back to nest,
Blood-sheened silver, blocking soldier's behest,
O' puffin felled in another's place,
Arawn an Ístrin not to face,
O' Honour's brutal visage to blaze,
In bleeding red, against stormy grey
Great Arawn in Skalmar shall stay.
