Need help with a Rhyme Prophecy


Kingmaker


Hi everybody, I need some cool rhyme to foreshadow a sub-plot.

My players have found some strange link between the strange Hermit
Bokken ( a Druid ) and a legend about an old druidic circle that
went silent many years ago ( the temple of the Elk ). The fey told them that Bokken was a member of that circle, but one day they found him alone in the glade in catatonic state, and then two people ( a man and a woman ) carried him away. They suspect ( and it's true ) that the couple were Oleg and Svetlana. When they will get to discover the location of the temple they will found strange trees just under the big rocky stag head, and then the guardian ( a fearsome monstrosity that only vaguely resembles an animal ) will attack them. After the battle the trees will come partially alive ( they are the old druids ) and then they will sing about the curse that transformed them in trees and created that guardian ) ... Now the story :

Oleg was a monster hunter. His last job was to kill a white werewolf that menaced a druid friend of him ( Bokken ). He managed to capture and knock-out the beast, but then he discovered the body of a young girl ( Svetlana ). Unable to kill her, he asked his friend to try to save her from the curse. Bokken refused, because was a serious crime
to bring a woman ( and a cursed one ) into their sacred circle. Oleg
begged and begged until Bokken accepted, out of pity. He convinced his fellows to try to save the girl, accepting exile for the sake of his friends. When they brought the unconscious body of Svetlana in the sacred pool they discovered that the girl was not an afflicted Werefolf, but one of the daughter of a powerful Fey Creature ( something like the Big Bad Wolf ). The primal forces inside her reacted with the pool and the ritual, rending her wolf aspect from the human one, and unleashing a backlash on the circle druids, transforming them in trees. The animal spirit of Svetlana became the Guardian of the forgotten Circle, and Oleg took care of Bokken and the girl since now ..

Sooooo can i get help ? Thanks in advance !


Do you want the rhyme to predict the future or tell of the past?


The past !


Specifically, something that tells the story i wrote in the most obscure way possible !


Unfortunately, I'm not coming up with much.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

What specific part of this do you want the rhyme to detail or hint at? That's a lot of information for a rhyme and is more like a long narrative poem if you try to get all of it into it.

By the way, bonus points if you get it to end with, "All this is true, because it rhymes."


Not entirely serious:

A druid exiled for his crimes,
his circle a copse for all times.
The wolf-daughter bathed
in the pool, and was saved,
and all this is true 'cos it rhymes.

Being a limerick, it's probably more appropriate for the fey than for the druids :)


Yea, that would be perfect for the Fey xD !
Uhm the important part is about a druid that breaks the oath and get a cursed creature in the circle and the connection to the Fey Creature, the rest will follow !
