-
1.
I am Muninn, the cursed wayfarer,
-
2.
Afflicted with a fate most malign.
-
3.
My destiny is gripped with terror,
-
4.
A trail of death that lingers behind.
-
5.
-
6.
A solemn plague shadows my presence,
-
7.
A true misfortune that won't depart.
-
8.
Within me lies a powerful essence,
-
9.
A darkness that would corrode a weak heart.
-
10.
-
11.
Death is my element, it always has been,
-
12.
Ruination befalls all beside me.
-
13.
Crops, ponies, even the smallest puffin,
-
14.
None were immune to my catastrophe.
-
15.
-
16.
By my simple presence, life was always drained
-
17.
Wherever I went, death seemed sure to follow.
-
18.
Sickness, disaster, our whole village was pained,
-
19.
All this tragedy left my spirits hollow.
-
20.
-
21.
My people's hope could not be extinguished,
-
22.
That perhaps I could be rid of my bane,
-
23.
But deep within I knew spirits languished
-
24.
With every passing moment I remained.
-
25.
-
26.
Recalcitrant winds betrayed my hope within,
-
27.
Optimism buried far beneath the ice,
-
28.
Though I had nothing but love for all my kin
-
29.
I knew that their hopes alone would not suffice.
-
30.
-
31.
The natural course of life must end in death,
-
32.
As such I hold no fear of my final day,
-
33.
But playing a part in another's last breath
-
34.
Was a pain too great that sent me on my way.
-
35.
-
36.
Nivalis, my home, I had left long ago
-
37.
In search of answers and a possible cure.
-
38.
I sought a sagacious mare beyond the snow
-
39.
Who possessed the knowledge to render me pure.
-
40.
-
41.
For much of this time, I ventured alone
-
42.
Lest another suffer from my ill fate,
-
43.
Then to my surprise in an unknown zone
-
44.
Were beings of a most remarkable trait.
-
45.
-
46.
I roamed among the alnus rubra
-
47.
In search of nourishment and shelter,
-
48.
When a piercing cry struck the tundra,
-
49.
An avian resembling cinder.
-
50.
-
51.
Corvus corax, my lone consolation,
-
52.
The only beings immune to my blight,
-
53.
They follow me without trepidation,
-
54.
Alert and astute through many long nights.
-
55.
-
56.
We are a group of lonely silhouettes,
-
57.
Traveling under crepuscular skies.
-
58.
Under constant motion after sunset,
-
59.
And hidden and resting before sunrise.
-
60.
-
61.
I endeavor to reach this fabled mare
-
62.
And allow the dead to earn eternal rest,
-
63.
For departed spirits still roam the air,
-
64.
Bound to me until I complete my quest.
-
65.
-
66.
Against the unknown we travel without pause,
-
67.
I will proceed onward, my conviction stern.
-
68.
No ordeal will prevent achieving my cause,
-
69.
My dear home, Nivalis, I swear to return.
