Re: Coal the Enchantress - Part 2
Sunna nods and reaches into her pack for the musical instruments. She produces the small drum and thinks for a moment, her left hand already drumming a quiet rhythm. "Something about a hunt, maybe?"
The drum gets a little louder, the rhythm more urgent, then Sunna begins the song.
It's more a speech than a song, actually, telling of a hunt for a majestic stag, with a whole village setting out for the hunt. During the day, as the sun moves higher into the sky, one by one the hunters quit the hunt until only one alone remains. Closer he gets to the stag, ever so close...
"...until he realized that he was facing himself, spear in hand, antlers growing out of his temples. Just him, him his own reward, a trophy no one else could see.
But where the others thought of him as just another one with bad luck, he knew that he had been on a higher quest and had, without having to throw a spear, contended successfully for the favor of the gods."
OOC:
It's a song by the band Faun, called Cernunnos. I'm not that good in translating stuff, but I didn't want to post the whole thing in German, so... here's the translation. :)
