"Oooooo" the bird chimera says startled, then speaks
"It is always the sign, of a fine and generous guest
when they find a way to honor your culture at it's purest..
I thought your arrival might have been a curse,
but now I'm pleased to see, it's gone from bad to verse!
So a prophecy I'll tell you, and and thank you as well..
for you have graciously forstalled a dreaded dinner bell
I see in your groups future, a chance to do good things...
neglect not strangers in need, for such charity can bring you wings
But also be wary of the prize that seems to easy to grasp
the brighest apples more likely poisoned with venom like an asp
I know that my doggerel is generic and non specific
but I'll try to tell yet you yet more for your rhyming so terrific
One of you may be tested against a particular bias
but good and evil labels don't match, though that fact may try us.
So if he can cool his ire against a mantle black
he may find gratitude will make up for quite a lack.
As for the witch, who travels with your group. I strongly advise this,
she simply must try out the soup!
But wary of the waiters, they're a deadly crew...
and are just as likely to shove you all inside their yummy brew
The artist is an easy one, he's a fool in love
but loving fools how power..so to him I suggest...
deeper in the dreaming he armor up his vest.
The Squire fears his kith, denotes him to side kickery
but when the dance begins, he might see through trickery!
I've mangled this prophecy with hasty slap dash rhyme
but I can also tell something for you, since my living saves me time!
Your lion's coat has served you well at opening up some doors
So when you meet a relation, hesitate not to call on it more
One last thing I really shouldn't say,
but for a handsome lion like yourself, how can I say thee nay?
Sometimes we look for things in books,
sometimes we put things in books
Mark well a touch of lore that while searching page maybe overlooked.
And now I Hope you'll honor your word
and dine not upon me though your belly maybe humming.
I suggest vegan living... bastard plants, they have it coming!"
