face=1><DIV align="center">Song of Hrormir<br> <br> <DIV align="left"> Hrormir<br> Son of Hrorgar<br> Summoned to the Court of Vjindak,<br> Son of Vjinmore, King of Evensnow.<br> "Mighty caster of magic,<br> I charge thee to go to Aelfendor,<br> For its hoary Warriors do threaten my Land<br> And bring forth their cousin Demons<br> To terrify my People."<br> Hrormir<br> Son of Hrorgar<br> Heard the Words of Vjindak Evensnow.<br> "By Icestaff,<br> Surely I would help thee<br> But I have already a Quest to drink<br> Twelve Flagons of Mead in one Hour,<br> And then to bed four Wenches,<br> Twice each.<br> So I must with grace decline."<br> The King he did not smile<br> At Hrormir and his jolly Spirit.<br> "By thine Honor<br> Must thou aidest my Cause<br> For must thou takest up the Sword<br> Of thy Companion Darfang<br> Who took the Quest and failed."<br> Hrormir laughed.<br> "Now I know thou jest.<br> My boon Mate Darfang wouldst not fail.<br> There be no finer Bladesman.<br> If thou chargest him, he wouldst not fall."<br> "I did not say he fell.<br> He joined the Dark Kings of Aelfendor<br> And by doing so dishonored<br> Himself and thee, his Friend."<br> <br> Hrormir could not believe the Words,<br> And yet, he knew Eversnow<br> Didst not lie.<br> So for twenty Days and three rodeth he<br> To the Land of Night, the Kingdom of Fear,<br> Where the Peasants ever carried Candles<br> Knowing what Evil awaiteth them<br> Should they stray beyond the Glow.<br> The Sovereigncy of three Dark Kings:<br> Aelfendor.<br> There, Torch in Hand, didst Hrormir<br> Pass through haunted Countryside<br> And frightened Villages,<br> And through the black Gates<br> Of the blacker Castle of Aelfendor.<br> The three Dark Kings didst sneer<br> At the sight of mighty Hrormir<br> And summoned they their Champion<br> Darfang the Blade.<br> "My boon Companion!"<br> Hrormir called in the Hall of Night.<br> "I dare not trust my Eyes,<br> For then I wouldst believe<br> That thou hast joined with Evil,<br> And turned thy Way from Honor<br> And Brotherhood!"<br> <br> "Hrormir!"<br> Darfang the Blade didst cry.<br> "If thou dost not go now,<br> One of us must die, for I hate thee!"<br> But Hrormir was battle ready,<br> And in the echoing Halls of Night<br> The Blade of Darfang<br> And the Staff of Hrormir<br> Didst strike again and yet again.<br> Mighty Warriors and Mages both,<br> The boon Companions now Foes,<br> Shook Mundus with their War.<br> They might have fought for a Year<br> If there were Sun in Aelfendor<br> To mark Time,<br> And either Hrormir or Darfang<br> May verily have won.<br> But Hrormir saweth through the Dark<br> The Tears in the Eyes of his former Friend,<br> And then he saweth the Shadow of Darfang<br> Wert not his own.<br> And so with Icestaff, he did strike<br> Not Darfang, but his Shadow, which cried.<br> "Hold, Mortal Man!"<br> <br> The Shadow becameth the Hag,<br> Bent and twisted, in her Cloak and Hood.<br> From her faceless Shadows, she hissed.<br> "Mortal Man called Hrormir<br> The Soul of thy boon Companion<br> Is my Plaything,<br> But I will take thine in trade,<br> For though ye both have strong Arms,<br> Thou hast the more clever Mind<br> Which my Sons the Dark Kings need<br> For a Champion of Aelfendor."<br> Hrormir the brave didst not take a Breath<br> Or pause before he boldly said.<br> "Shadowy Hag, release Darfang,<br> And thou mayst use me as thou will."<br> The Hag didst laugh and freed Darfang.<br> "To save thine Honor this thou hast done,<br> But now thou must be without Honor<br> Mortal Man, as the Champion<br> Of the Dark Kings, my Heirs of Gray Maybe,<br> Thou must help them divide Aelfendor,<br> And love me,<br> Thy Shadowy Hag and thy Mistress well."<br> <br> For his loss of Honor,<br> And his dear Friend's Sacrifice,<br> Noble Darfang prepared to take his Dagger<br> And plunge it in his good Heart,<br> But Hrormir stayed his Brother's Hand and whispered.<br> "No, boon Companion,<br> Wait for me at the Village Banquet Hall."<br> And then did Darfang the Blade leave the Castle<br> While Hrormir took the withered Claw<br> Of the Hag, and pressed it to his Lips.<br> "Shadowy Hag, to thee I pledge<br> To only honor thy black Words<br> To turn my back on Truth<br> To aid thy Dark Kings' Ambition<br> To divide their Inheritance fairly<br> To love thee<br> To think thee beautiful."<br> Then to the Chamber in the Heart of Night<br> Hrormir and the Hag did retire<br> Kissed he there her wrinkled Lips<br> And her wrinkled, sagging Breasts,<br> For ten Days and Nights and three did Hrormir<br> And his Icestaff<br> Battle thus.<br> <br> Then Sweet Kynareth blew honeyed Winds<br> O'er the Hills and Forest Glens of Aelfendor,<br> And the Caress of warm blooded Dibella <br> Coaxed the Blossoms to wanton Display<br> So that Aelfendor became a Garden<br> Of all the Senses.<br> The frightened Servants of the Dark Kings<br> Woke to find there was naught to fear<br> And through the once dark Streets of the Village<br> Came the Cries of Celebration.<br> In the Banquet Hall of the Village<br> Hrormir and his boon Companion Darfang<br> Embraced and drank of rich Mead.<br> The Shadowy Hag too was smiling,<br> Sleeping still in her soft Bed,<br> Until the morning Sun touched her naked Face<br> And she awoke, and saw All,<br> And knew All saw her.<br> And she cried out:<br> "Mortal Man!"<br> <br> Night fell fast upon the Land<br> As the Hag flew into the Banquet Hall<br> Casting blackest Darkness in her Wake<br> But all the Celebrants still could see<br> Her Anger<br> In her monstrous Face<br> And they shook with Fear.<br> The Hag had said the Kingdom was<br> To be divided among her Heirs.<br> But Aelfendor had been kept whole<br> While her Children divided,<br> Drawn and quartered.<br> Hrormir was mightily amused.<br> He swallowed his Laughter<br> In his Mead,<br> For none should laugh outright<br> At the Daedra Lord Nocturnal.<br> Without her gray Cowl of shadowed Night,<br> Her hideous Face forced the Moons<br> To hide themselves.<br> Hrormir the mighty did not quail.<br> "Wherest be thine Hood, shadowy hag?"<br> "Mortal Man hast taken it from me unaware.<br> When I awoke, my Face unmasked,<br> My Kingdom cast into the Light,<br> My Dark King Heirs in Pieces cast,<br> And here, my Champion smiles.<br> Yet in truth, thou kept thy Promise truly,<br> To never keep thy Promise true."<br> <br> Hrormir<br> Son of Hrorgar<br> Bowed to the Hag, his Queen.<br> "And evermore, <br> 'Til thou releaseth me, will I serve thee so."<br> "A clever Mind in a Champion<br> Is a much overvalued Trait."<br> The Hag released Hrormir's Soul<br> And he released her Hood.<br> And so in the Light of darkest Dark,<br> She left Aelfendor evermore.<br> And after drinking twelve Flagons of Mead,<br> And bedding four Wenches<br> Twice each,<br> Did Darfang return to Eversnow<br> With Hrormir<br> Son of Hrorgar. <br> }}} **訳文 [#r0ddb987]
