A Whispered Verse In The Night.

[Benny_Fool 80]

Night drew its curtain over the golden fields of the farthing, and it's small inhabitants milled about. Friends shared jokes and ale with good company in the dying light of a beautiful day, but their voices were not the only ones heard. A soft voice, wizened and tired with age, swept through the village. It sung a quiet song, heard in snatches by some of the hobbits who sat still awake in their burrows.

 

"Some know who sung of flaxen dreams

of sun-gold thoughts held together by hemp seams

of forest-green hopes in babbling brooks and streams

of sky-blue prayers lifted on once-broke wings

 

Yet

 

Some know who sing of cracked hearths

of wilted crops and stifled mirth

of broken hoes and scorched earth

of terrible fires and a evil's search

 

But

 

Evil itself, tirelessly, shall march."

 

Without the slightest of sounds, the voice disappeared  Some know who's voice sang the dark verses. Some know what the verses mean. Yet in the golden shadow of the dying sun, few will heed what the voice uttered in its flight.

Fumble drops the map to the Opulent Hops and wakes his parents.

"Somun' singin' ... I' scary an' I' soun' like Misah Felix !"

Dumb willy wakes up with a shock. Hearing the noise he bites down hard with his buck teeth and cries out to his wife "Geraldine! Geraldine! You go get me my noise beating shovel, we gone get some meat to night!" Runs out into the night, his hillbilly cries of delight sing out across the town, drowning out the singing as he hunts down the miscreant singer.

Posco grumbles in his sleep, completely - and accidentally- missing  the familiar voice.

 

((Has the birdman returned?))

"I knew the ol' coo' would be back..."

Posco continues grumbling as he dreams of the Opulent Hops.

edit: ((All of this oppulent hops talk has me thinking of a community event.))

[Heff 2460]

((Me and Posco's were working on a quest chain to lead to the hops))

((Edit: Posco we need to continue working in that... Sorry for being off the halfling community for a while))

[Benny_Fool 80]

((Message me on skype some time, I have a excellent idea for the ending of that quest line.))
