They return to the south

Tired and with drouth

Seeking food for their mouth

For the land was in drought


Scar, with llama in tow,

Still does not believe so

That the desert was too vast

And their idea wouldn't last


On the brink of the fields

They caught sight of the border

They lower their shields

As they come to order


Our Sunshine has a secret

And he wasn't to keep it

He had an idea

To get leverage over people


Our Sunshine has villagers

Tucked away in the hills

All safe from pillagers

And those who have skills


He shares this information with two others

Who promise that they won't tell another

Who promise that they will keep it

A lowly secret


There were others listening

Who the three missed

Who wanted this gain

Who were willing to cause pain


They plotted and schemed

They reminisce and they dreamed

And to them it seemed

Their prize was already redeemed


They gather once more in the southern lands

Some with questions and others, demands

Swords and shields and weapons in hand

Tensions rising through all of the land


A prankster who spooked them all

Is responsible for the first fall

A debt to be paid

A life oath made


"It was just a prank" he claims

As the others build a grave

As the others inscribe The Fallen's name

He claims, "it was just a prank"
