She Beckons 06:18
I’ve heard tales of a woman Though she’s rarely been seen Some have claimed that she lives in the woods Watching wanderers through the trees The wench of the wood, she’s inviting But she’s not as she seems Fools who fall into her sick embrace Stay there for eternity Hearken to me, weary traveler For that temptress is a beast In these woods there are perils None more dangerous than she In the night when she beckons Weak-minded men are lured to bed The most tempting thing about her Is the price upon her head Sunset is nigh, now I mount my mare With my sharpened steel in tow 'Fore the night’s end I’ll be a wealthy man And my steel will meet her throat Hearken to me, weary traveler For that temptress is a beast In these woods there are perils None more dangerous than she Now she’s standing before me Creature I intend to slay I can’t bring myself to raise my sword When she’s calling my name Her heavenly whisper entrances me with bliss Need to hold her in my arms Never before have I felt such a love I will never let us part

When we met, I wasn’t much of a man At any hour with a drink in my hand He came through town and he turned people’s heads That lot of senseless oafs wanted him dead I offered him a place to rest his head Far from home, he had been disgraced Ostracized and sent on his way Across the lands, to the tundras up north To retrieve a relic sacred to orcs He hung his head looking solemn and shamed Stripped of pride, banished from his clan Seeking redemption in a faraway land The path is treacherous, the journey is long Told him I knew the way and I’d come along Dusted off armor that had sat for an age We saddled horses and we went on our way I didn’t know what this journey would take We passed through lands I’d only heard of in tales Rest in a village, quench our thirst with their ales The orc was quiet but his eyes gave away A sense a wonder for these beautiful places He’d never seen the world beyond orcish gates Traverse the earth, through the mountains and plains An orcish axe would surely clear our way To the north, where the air grew thin Our quest would bring us to our destination Push onward through this frozen realm Descend the tombs of ancient elves Old sentinels still roam this crypt To guard the heirlooms deep within Steel clashes under torch’s glow The orc received a fatal blow He died for his ancestral blade Return it to its rightful place

Noonwraith 07:17
Near a ruined village sitting at the point where rivers meet The townsfolk stay indoors when the sun reaches its peak The water’s run foul, tainted by the bodies of sons and daughters She waits eternally for revenge on those who wronged her Her cries Ringing out from the well where she lies The bride once shunned Will teach them to fear the midday sun They sent their strongest men, but their steel left her unscathed The devil tore through them all, leaving corpses in her wake A stranger came through town, who claimed that he could kill her He stood before the hag and unsheathed a blade of silver Her cries Ringing out from the well where she lies The bride once shunned Will teach them to fear the midday sun

I ride through the forest Arrive at the village, I’ll rest for the night once more And pass through those gates Not a danger in sight, only pleasure awaits My pack on my shoulders I barter with merchants ‘til pockets are heavy and full Then it’s off to the inn For a few pints of mead with the strumpets that wait within The barmaid shows me a grin She brings me my mutton and fills up my tankard to the brim The bard starts a song And a table of halflings start singing along The old man beside me Tells tales from his youth when he carried a blade like mine My pitcher runs dry I order two more, by the gods, what a time I long for these nights, when the sky’s raining mead When my sword goes unbloodied, and stays in its sheathe The warmth of a wench, so soft and so sweet A brew strong and cold, and the comfort it brings
