Ganzel (Little Every), part 1

Elbreth the Shining, goddess, War-Singer
Met Uth N'th-yacha, shadow, Sleeper in Darkness
Upon the field at night.

"What do you here," asked she,
"Up on the surface places?"

"My work I do," said he,
"For the stars are needed in it."

She raised her bow Thuum
Whose voice like thunder speaks its name,
And took careful aim.

"And what will you shoot,"
Asked the deep-dweller.

"What you need,"
Said the archer.

With flight-arrow of thought
Elbreth struck a mighty star
And brought its power down to them.

N'th-yacha bowed to her
And they embraced in the starlight,
Promising to be together again.

One day they would.
