You Give Gunpowder to a Dwarf

[Supremacy 3361]

.~-Into the Snow-~.

 

 

 

The warning signs grew, and yet they fell on deaf ears. A messenger who never did make his way from Haelun'or to Oren. A band of merry travelers who found their lives cut short hours before they were meant to arrive. Something had so settled in the snow on the path to the Blessed Walls.

 

It was only after the deaths of many did it strike one by the name of Taeleh, and it was only then that the mali'aheral and those of the Golden Owl were rallied to the walls.

 

Four Owls and Four Sillumir were to set out. Little did they know, only seven would return.

 

 

 

Elibar’acal, elkhel ito narne

il’cruan ay’thilln kaean taliiyh

adri’leh, ullral, ata— narne’ne ito

kaean evarn’lar.

 

The Golden Owl, darkness is upon us,

With pain and for silver, we bleed,

Apparitions, beasts and the wretched walk amongst us,

We are the shield.

 

 

 

In the ensuing clash steel bit at spectral flesh, sending both elf and man flying as the wild creature did claw at the flesh of both those of Silver and those of Gold. Before finally the blade of the Tilruir'tir did meet its mark, impaling the creature and shattering it— banishing it from whence it came and back into oblivion. And yet the blade struck true not once but twice... For the Tilruir had cut through, into the flesh of his own Sillumir.

 

Larihei, kae'len cruan sulier, ay'kae vallumer'ehya.
Elihnsil, Elberr, kina'ehya, laean kae wynne myumiereyae.
ay'nae'leh sirame k' taliiyhe, ay'elcihil k' cruare
il'iylkarim, mirueln thill'ehya ito kae'leh

Larihei, behold my pain, and weep for me.
The spear, the bow and death, these bring me no joy
for your honour I bleed, for the city I suffer
with this day, I am silver and red.

 

 

 

In sorrow they returned, for when Aurum bites flesh... Death is sure to follow. The only words uttered to Almecki in a mutter as they so marched through the snowstorm

 

nae uvul'thrur Bortu illera...
