swan songs

a new fic by superlateive and hamletkin

swansong: early 19th century; suggested by German Schwanengesang, a song like that fabled to be sung by a dying swan.

Once upon a time, in times long past when it was still of use to cast a spell, a long time ago in the days of our ancestors, beyond seven mountains, seven rivers, back in the days when it was still of help to wish for things… our story takes place. There, the thudding of horses hooves, there, the flash of antlers through the trees, there, the rustling of a song that rises from the earth and through the trees, the breezes curling grasp; the Song of the world. Around the corner of a great oak tree, come rushing hounds, barking and yelping in pursuit of their prey, and behind them the Knights of Godrich. Here, in the woods, our tale begins.

jegulus + wolfstar, medieval au. inspired by folklore and arthurian legends.
