The Starlit Exodus

• Artist: Agrikar the Hidden
• Description: The second of the duet of poems. This one follows immediately after the assassin's first kill; the death of a famous hero. What is left of the town he died in brings him to the center of a field in the middle of the night and burns his body on a pyre. The bard writing the poems this time describes that the sky, the stars, and the wind all mourn his passing, but that his passing has shown them he is too good for the world he's left behind.

The Starlit Exodus
By N.A. Triantaffelow

Oh, the sky doth weep!
Tears too numerous to keep
The falling of a champion,
Whose way is alight.
Oh, the stars do flicker!
So quickly and yet quicker,
Like the hearts of us here
In this dark field tonight.
By the gods, the wind doth howl!
Like mourned tears so foul,
To watch you go,
Tells us your path is aflight.

so then, between the 2 poems, the guy got killed.

A Very good poem that does have a distinct bard-like quality that adds to the story setting that it is based from. I must find the first one of the duet now.
