Bound Together

their journey began
on a barren waste where the reader arrived
afraid and alone

when they arrived
the Book of Rites awakened the Nightwings
and ignited the flame

they follow the stars
bound together
strands in a braid 'til the end

we sing of the last
of the Nightwings who, having broken the cycle,
shall live on in song

Hedwyn was there
and proved to all that he was no deserter
he stayed true 'til the end

Captain Jodariel
keeping watch over all of the Nightwings
she stayed true 'til the end

Rukey Greentail
small in size but vast in commitment
he stayed true 'til the end

they follow the stars
bound together
strands in a braid 'til the end

the Moon-Touched Girl
hears the Scribes in the world all around her
she stayed true 'til the end

Ti'zo the wise
ever faithful to the cause of the Nightwings
he stayed true 'til the end

Sir Gilman the bold
ever in his quest, finding honor in glory
he stayed true 'til the end

Pamitha Theyn
borne on
