In the land of Tza Tza, full of love and laughter
was a faerie bold and true born by blood this land to rule
was a faerie bold and true born by blood this land to rule
Nurtured and taught by the great advisors
She flourished in all they laid before her.
Yet everyday was like another
nothing varied, nothing changed.
Rise before dawn, study till dusk
For a queen to be this was a must.
Something had to change!
Something had to change!
Her skin of burnished oak
she covered with her faerie cloak.
she covered with her faerie cloak.
A shimmer, a mist and a sprinkle of dust
she vanished before they could protest.
This was before her coming of age
when she wandered alone to think and pray
For her heart longed for adventure
'coz she found her studies weighty and pressured.
She roamed the forest, fields and meadows
searching for exciting treasures.
Such is the way in all adventures
the heavens opened forcing the need for shelter.
Without a thought for her safety,
she flew into a cave dark and musty.
Within it's depths she heard a noise
that caused our shivering faerie to pause.
She held her breath and listened again.
A crack! A rasp! A wheezing croak
made her turn and seek it's source.
Deep within lay a glowing mass,
shining, rocking an egg, she gasped!
shining, rocking an egg, she gasped!
A cry for help from a burgeoning beast
caused her heart to lurch, she could not resist.
For help if sought she was borne to offer
For help if sought she was borne to offer
and knelt before the glossy matter.
There on the dank cold cave floor
lay a small dragon only half born.
Without care for herself,
she lifted its head and sang for health.
The beast was spent and life seemed gone
distressed beyond measure she sang her song.
Her tears of gold fell into its mouth.
He swallowed each tear and took to himself
her love, her life and her gift of health.
Within her arms a warmth did pass
from her to him and back again.
Entwining hearts that should be at odds
instead became bound in love.
A bond this strong and true was called
Heartsong meant only for the noble brood.
For to join in song one heart to another
was a bond meant to last forever.
A faerie and a dragon love?
In all of history it was never heard of.
So began a secret passion
of heart and soul and spirit blending.
Heartsong can not be broken
by fae or foe or any potion.
by fae or foe or any potion.
In secret then their love must be hidden,
lest they cause a great commotion
lest they cause a great commotion
Or be discovered, seperated and banished
from the land they both did cherish.
from the land they both did cherish.
Time it passed and the dragon grew
their bond remained strong and true
Until the night before her crowning
when their secret was discovered.
Hauled before the court of law,
then given a choice to rule or fall.
Forsaking her love, she could never do
so into exile she was sent
And there forever to repent.
And there forever to repent.
Dispirited and broken hearted
the faerie and the dragon departed.
Leaving the home they both had known
seperated by the Sword of Gowen.
Into exile they were sent
for a life of banishment.
For if she ever dared return
she must be crowned without her Heartsong
And rule as she was raised to do
Serve her people and forsake the love she held to.
Yet one day she vowed to find him
for the Heartsong had forever bound them.
Heart and soul and spirit blending
through her song her message she sent him.
Wherever Rivenaugh was bound
his heart would hear the lilting sound
Of her song of love and longing
from her heart to his unending.
And there in spirit strong and true
their love would continue despite the rules
To seperate, forced far apart
never to join heart to heart.

This is Kirscha's history that will be transformed into a tiny book to sit in a special place in Riven Manor. I want to add pictures and then send everything off to someone to transform. Rivet and Kirscha inspire me.
