AAAAAAAA THANK YOU LIBRI ITS LOVELY AND PERFECT 🥺💖

A companion poem to @exalted-dawn 's BEAUTIFUL tarot card here.

I hope you like it <3

Oh Halla oh Halla

So tender your feet

That dance through the grasses

To the wind and its beat

Oh Halla oh Halla

So fair as your horns

Frame the sun as walk

To the city of thorns

Oh Halla oh Halla

With tooth and with claw

The wolves they are shadowed

And darkened their jaws

Oh Halla oh Halla

Come cast off your skin

For the past is a memory

And the future begins

Oh Halla oh Halla

Oh wolf on the run

Hoofbeats like drums

With your jaws 'round the sun

Oh Halla oh Wolf

Oh daughter oh child

You can never come home

You are grown and so wild

[exalted-dawn]

This Halla knew no fear, for the land in which it lived was golden and full of light. Untarnished and perfect. A veritable paradise.

However, just as the Halla knew not of fear, it also knew little of the World outside its glade. It dreamed of the wonders and beauties that lay just beyond the treeline– all secrets waiting to be discovered. Greener fields yet to be found. After all, if the wood of its home, in all its humble smallness, could hold such treasures, what then must the World beyond be hiding?

A foolish question to ask. And a naive one. But the Halla, who had been swaddled in such perfection from birth, could not have known that beyond its meadow and trees lay a vast and uncaring wilderness. A land scarred by iron and rot and blood. Beasts that hunt in the shadow of night, and revel in the screams of their the prey between their teeth.

…It could not have known.

From The Halla and the Hounds

Decided Tal needed and updated Tarot 💖
