Glitter Delve Gold 4

elf stops dwarf in his tracks to hear harsh truth

Elf and i stand in silence,

breathless i be and he be not

I curse at him, my words harried and hot,

his only response being blocking my way

"What have i done, let me be !" i vainly say

 

A cough behind me makes me spin

behind me, High King Elion stands

How can we be kin ?

We may look alike, that much i have seen

but that cannot be the way today's dice lands

 

My parents were hard workers, honest and plain.

My father a town crier, carrying news to everyone

and my mother a dressmaker, always fair and modest.

We had a hard life but it was honest.

The light went from my world and my heart sunk,

When they were taken from me by a careless drunk.

 

Now the High king tells me

that these parents werent mine

and that I am royalty.

I shudder and shake uncontrollably

"No, you tell lies" i cry,

near out of my mind
