A high elf once declared to win,
The hand of Gynja fair,
But royal blood within her veins,
Made complex the affair

Her grand protector from the past
Proclaimed a challenge laid
Four tasks from those of noble caste
One he himself then made

First came Lady Briar's tale
With sly grin bade him seek
Named hobbits all in Rivervale
And report within the week

Thus he searched against the clock
That town of halfling hate
Looked under every tiny rock
Found hobbits sixty-eight

Next Lord Stilgar took the stand
Told him 'prove your heart'
'Respect and honor I demand'
'And a valued gift impart'

The gift, his heart he did commit
Plus all, his days and life,
Respect with poetry was writ,
To his intended wife

To honour her his path was laid,
Out to the desert flame,
He sought a beast that harmed the maid,
And 'twas single handed slain

Now Lord Epok took the floor,
'Shall knowledge you command',
'So seek out beast of legend lore',
'From every Shattered Land'

Through Commonlands and burning Ro,
Zek and Varsoon's lair,
Many beasts were slain and so,
Their lore he came to bear

Gunny's challenge spoke of yore,
The heart was split apart,
Bring back the missing half before,
He's lost within the dark

Through darkest Freeports halls did sneak,
Kept out of evil's gaze,
Returned the heart to family's keep,
Semperfi the missing mage

Now last and final Kristoph stood,
And blocked the wizard's way,
'To take dear Gynja's hand you would',
'Stand and fight this day'

A furious battle they did wage,
A thousand blows were struck,
But victory embraced our mage,
Through courage, skill (and luck)

Once all was done, the fight was fought,
The day was at an end,
Gynja tended both their wounds,
And once more they were friends

The wizard sat on bended knee,
And asked that they be one,
The maiden's 'yes' was said with glee,
And so the story's done
