~

Seek that which was stray,
The wanderer, the solemn-eyed.
Guided by the hand of the Rover,
A hero once denied.

’Midst twisted boughs and blackened leaves,
A troubled heart knows no peace.
Thunder will sunder the veil to night,
And speculation cease.

Walk under a world you cannot walk over.
The painting shows what never will fail.
Lost will future be regained,
For future is the past of Widdenwael.

Where the heavens can be seen below,
What is sought will be claimed.
Surrender to the call of the wind.
Truth is but courage maimed.

Give way to the weak; pursue the strong.
Left is right or never at all.
Redgate will cry. Reality will lie.
Only illusion will fall.

Memory taunted, hidden, haunted,
It will not end with one.
For all that has passed, and all that will be,
The tales have only begun.

—The Rover's Riddle—
