Hear ye kings
Listen ye mighty men of yore
Of the love of the mother
Of the sorrows of the
soulmate
Ulura was her name
A woman of beauty and grace
Great was she among her people
A trader without peer
She carried the dragons gift
She heard their song in the air
She spoke to them through her soul
They responded to her in kind.
She was a mother doubly blessed,
Two lovely children had she
A hale boy, Tyran was he
A lovely daughter, Lyseen
Ulura raised them true
Teaching them the ways of wisdom
Instilling in them a soul of compassion
To see others need before their own
The blessing of their house was great
Wealth enough for any
Yet a greater blessing was there
A love that could easily be seen
Yet, as is the way of life it seem
Their joy would soon be torn
For evil would reach into their midst
And tear their hearts apart
For many foes had the dragons
Magical, mortal alike
They saw in Ulura’s gift
The answer to their plight
For they wished to purge the Dracoi
To remove them from all life
They wished to destroy them all
And saw in Ulura their chance.
They came to another plotting
Saying, she can help us
She can lure them to us
Where we can gain our hearts delight
So, they took Ulura’s children
In force of arms at night
Telling her to do their bidding
Or else her blood would lose life.
Fair Ulura was broken
To see her children taken thus
But she would not give up the dragons
To betray that sacred trust
Her path lay clear before her
Some may say it was not wise
But she would save her children
Even if it cost her life
She snuck into the fortress
Under cover of the night
She looked from deepest dungeon
To towers under fair starlight
Soon she despaired her search
Thinking that her children already
gone
But then, the wind brought a hint
Of her children’s plaintive song.
With a heart filled with joy
She followed that wonderous song
Soon, behind a hidden door
She found what she had sought
Her children she did rescue
From that dirty hidden jail
Alas however, that is not
The end of our sorrowful tale.
For as they left, a shout came out
A guard had spotted them
Soon all the troops would arise
And the rescue would fail
But Ulura took her children
To a small hole in the wall
The way that she had come in
Would serve as a way out as well
Ulura prodded her children
Telling them to run and hide and
flee
But she knew time was precious
So she stood before the enemy
While her children ran away
Ulura stood her ground
Praying in the depths of her spirit
That her hearts blood might get away
The enemy assailed her
With bow and sword and spear
Yet every pain in her body she knew
Was another step her children could
run
Brave Ulura fell that day
Her blood lost for her children
But her children did escape
Her enemies dread plan was foiled
For Noble Nertorn had taken flight
Feeling the soulmates pain
Soon her children had found refuge
Under Nertorn’s gentle wing
The Dragons fostered the orphans
They raised them in their nest
They taught them the ways of honor
Though Ulura taught it best.
Tyran became a great Lord
The master of Ravenspeak
Ruling under the banners of wisdom and power
From that high lonely peak
Lyseen took her own path
Founding her own people as well
She focused on a mothers love
And lead her people beneath the Eyries
beak
So ye king and warriors hear
Ye squires and nobles true
The greatest power is not the sword
But the love of a mother true.
