Notes from the Writer: This is an anthology of short stories pertaining to the Scouring. I will warn you ahead of time that I depend mostly on my own originality for both characters and stories to compose it. Nonetheless, if you are interested, I thank you for sticking with me. In addition, if there are any spoilers from FE6, I will be sure to alert you. Further notes are in my profile
i. The Bard's Invitation
Welcome, young children, I am a poor Bard,
hither dear ones, are you mindful at all
of the tales of love, or of songs of war?
Of stories of might, or of Dragon's high fall?
Surely of great Hartmut and valorous Roland,
or of noble Elimine and graceful Hanon?
Perhaps of swift Durban and faithful Barigan?
What of clever Athos or of furtive Brammimond?
Are there others you know, the children of war?
There are those besides the Generals alone
Fallen Mith who fought and vanished from lore,
Nay, not even lovely Lisandre was known.
And what of the enemy, of Dragons old?
What of the beasts who knew nothing of pain?
From the deep heart of Bavel come stories untold
of an abhorrent foe and his darkest campaign
Their voices are few in the saga of Elibe
and their voices are mine, for tonight I shall sing
A legacy of strength that I shall never bereave
the journey starts tonight, and I will now begin
Come children and sit as my song is unfolded
The legends are moving, the muses are playing
of comedy, tragedy, come and behold it
Your loyal Bard plays and the night is awaiting
