**Author's note: Er, this has to be one of my WORST song parodies ever, but
I love the last verse and the second, hence why I'm keeping it. The
"everyone's an Aes Sedai" remark has to do that it seemed like every time
you turned around someone else could channel the One Power. I haven't read
TO THE BLIGHT yet and I've only read FROM THE TWO RIVERS twice, so any
inaccuracies may be pointed out in a RATIONAL manner. Oh, and 99 Red
Balloons is one of the most awesomest songs in the history of awesome
songs. **
NINETY NINE DREAD DRAGHKARS
Matrim and I and Perrin
Saw an Aes Sedai in the Two Rivers' Inn-
'Twas near Bel Tine, we thought she'd come
To see the festival's great fun
But then the Trollocs came to town,
And set to trampling Two Rivers down
While floating in the frigid sky
Ninety-nine dread Draghkars go by.
Ninety-nine Trolloc fists
Marching through the season's mists
We three need to leave this town
Unless you want Two Rivers down
So us three, the Aes Sedai,
A gleeman, Warder, Egwene, hey,
Flee without a fuss or cry
When ninety-nine dread Draghkars go by.
Ninety nine Children of Light
Won't let us leave without a fight
We ride to ruins, which none can raid
Chased by more Trollocs and a Fade
This is what we've waited for
This is it, Lan, this is war
Fire flashes in the sky
As ninety-nine dread Draghkars go by.
Ninety nine more Trollocs, now-
Don't ask me when or where or how
We all split up in a different way
And everyone's an Aes Sedai
Some by water, some by grass,
Some by forest, as Darkfriends pass
We all need to act and lie
Cause ninety-nine dread Draghkars go by
Ninety-nine dread Draghkars go by!
Ninety nine miles apart
And no one knows just where we are
We're separated, and I can't tell
Exactly where to go... Oh well
If I could find a road from here
I'd leave behind this doubt and fear
Glancing up into the sky
And watching as a bird flies by...
