KOTL: Aura's Origin Chant

Aura’s Origin Chant

We’ve always been,
once with the fen
yet banished from their jealous sight,
when they could not surpass our light.

We were cast out,
in need and doubt,
so when we saw the offered meal
we seized it, and his grave appeal.

We gave our word,
and so they heard
our promise on the shaman’s bow
to guard the people of the snow.

And so we did,
that while we hid
we blessed them with our living light,
and helped them in the coming fight.

With forces great,
we calculate
what is and what is yet to come.
The power of the unseen sun.

Oh, holy light,
you grant us might –
yet with your power comes a price,
to always live upon the ice.

Yet in our home,
we’re not alone.
Within the bonds of sisterhood
we feel a force they never could.

Our family
will always be,
for when we die, we die a sage,
and dwell where we will never age.

Hear this one,
beneath the sun, (if met at night, would change to “ Hear this croon, under the moon’)
then speak the words you wish to tell,
else go, return from whence you dwell.

Feel the light,
I am the night,
my paws are like the arctic breeze
upon the this ancient, frozen ground.

One we may be,
but we are free.
Our duty is to do what’s right –
we are the keepers of the light.
