Sing to me, o' Muse of the starry sky!
Finish your tale of the hero of the Vale!
Who for months was tossed between the waves
and hounded by the ill-favors of the Gods.
Filbus steered the ship toward the Butcher docks
But being an ill-trained seaman, he crashed
the ship into a cove on the northern coast.
He stood upon the poopdeck and studied the beach.
He could not believe his eyes!! GRUMPHILDA!!
She was being married away at that very second.
Filbus raised his hands, entreating Rallos Zek
“GIVE ME YOUR STRENGTH, O' GOD OF WAR!”
A single bolt of lightning arced across
The sky, from the heights of heaven, to the
Hand of Filbus, who called this act of God.
The halfling caught the lightning. His eyes flashed.
In his hands had appeared an epic sword
Charged by the Rage of Rallos Zek himself
Glowing red and blue with the nascent power
Held within that ancient, runed blade.
