The last words of Gagendor

A poem about what a hero of battle said about life, to the servant of the king. All this took place after a gruesome battle.

He fell to the ground

His arms fell limb

Everyone was silent

Until he spoke.

 

“There will always be a victor

Life will always go on

The evil may flourish for a time

But the good will triumph.

 

Life goes on

Some say it ends

It may continue

Until a victor appears

 

This day may end

But life continues

Even the good may die

But another will appear

 

These are my father’s words

The day he left

He came home again

With a smile on his face

 

The day then came when he went on

To pass it down to on to me

This is now pass forth

Unto you oh squire of Marken

 

I give to you what he gave to me

This sword named Threnegrad

He handed it over on his last day

And so I will do the same

 

                                Jednar servant to king Ramar

                                Year 328 W.F.
