The Hsaarik Elegy, Book Three
by Goderlog the Song-Maiden
A Nordic saga memorializes the fallen


Fifty-first to fall amidst the sword-din was IDUNN
The endless clangour breaking down her resolve
Until it was bloody kindness to crush her throat
Granting peace to her wracked and sobbing form
Her knowing ought to be
HAAFIN
Her name true not even once
Forgotten where she fell

[...]

Fifty-fourth, one-hundredth since Atmora, was KYNMUD
She spoke with the tongue of the goddess herself
She screamed her foe to pieces until, in a single moment
She finally came apart, tendon by tendon
Her knowing is still spoken as
OTTRA
First of her kind upon Mereth
Five hundred summers undone

[...]

Last death upon the first day of battle was TRYGVE
Though fighting had ceased none heard his cries
He nursed the spilling wound that opened up his gut
As though it were the babe he left behind at Jylkurfyk
His knowing she would learn as
URDLAV
And truly none had seen this
All had thought him blessed
