Riddle Charm
A riddle one of my characters presented people trying to break into his mind. I hope you enjoy it more than the people he gave it to did.
Chord on chord you must unbind
If you want to win my mind.
Father, son, and spirit strong
Guard the gates for ages long.
Read my riddle if you dare
If you want to lay me bare.
Youngest born, oldest chained
What was lost was then regained.
A song of danger, old and grim
Brought to heel through spirit-kin.
Chord on chord you must unbind
If you want to win my mind.
Fire born and shadow bound
Friend to Lord, friend to hound.
Broken magic long ago
Brought to light to now regrow.
Soft as memory, hard as steel
Bound by woe, freed by weal,
Hear you now my riddle song
And bind yourselves in this wrong.
Chord on chord you must unbind
If you want to win my mind.
