Gilda's Eternal Quest

In yonder realm of Aerth's sinister swamps, where shadows dwell,

Resided Gilda, elfin beauty, bound by love's sweet spell.

Her dearest heart snatched from her grasp, in deep morass concealed,

Into the undying shroom forest, where doom's fate was sealed.

~~~

Courageous Gilda ventured forth, her lover to retrieve,

Through tangled, twisted passages, where mortal hearts do grieve.

Yet, the swamps did plot against her, with darkness full and ripe,

And in the shroom forest, dear Gilda fell prey to fate's cold swipe.

~~~

The forest murmured to her soul, a taunting, somber dirge,

"Roam endless, fair Gilda, within this woeful scourge."

For in the everlasting gloom, the undying shrooms did sprout,

Where time, as stagnant as the air, did foster endless doubt.

~~~

Eternal Gilda wandered on, her heart like winter's chill,

Her lover lost in darkness, their passion unfulfilled.

The forest reveled in her woe, her misery divine,

A tale of love forever doomed, in shadows intertwined.

~~~

So, Gilda haunts the shroom forest, her sorrow ever near,

In the depths of Aerth's forsaken swamps, where hope doth disappear.

A mournful ballad echoes through, a testament to strife,

Of love entwined with darkness, and Gilda's endless life.
