There’s laughter in the beastfolk keep,
There’s comfort in the selkie song.
And the battle that she fought for
Was the Dark Lord’s Heart she won.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh…
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh…
The princess locked inside her tower
Found family and friend.
The Dark Lord found a treasure
He would hold until the end.
She went to battle life and death
And bring her people peace,
But now she reigns beside the villain
As the Dark Lord’s Dark Lady.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh…
But in the Dark Enchanted Forest,
She found love among the trees,
Where dire wolves howl at the moon
And a troll might offer a cup of tea.
There’s laughter in the beastfolk keep,
There’s comfort in the selkie song.
And the battle that she fought for was
The Dark Lord’s Heart she won.
There was silence from the crowd when she finished. Henrietta wiped a tear from her eye, and King Keith blushed all the way up to his pointed ear tips. Even his horn would’ve turned crimson if it could.
“Well?” Brownie asked, a touch nervous since it was her first time actually singing thatparticularsong in front of an audience.
Hey, she could be fabulousandsecretly anxious at the same time. She never knew ifthis timeshe might utterly fail at writing an engaging song. And on the day of her best friend’s wedding.
Who’d told Henrietta to go off and marry the Dark Lord, anyway?
Her fears were unfounded, as Henrietta burst into applause and the crowd followed suite. Brownie even caught a nod from King Keith as he composed himself. She read his lips as he mumbled under his breath, “I guess it’s better than eating babies …”
As far as compliments went, Brownie would take it!
