These Aren’t Trader
Sir Oisen leans up against an ash tree as Ronin eats apples with Endellion’s mare from a low hanging branch. Endellion glares at him. He can see her impatience is growing as her cheeks redden with perspiration.
“I wish I had a Clarsach to help me sing,” he starts singing.
“But my voice will have to do,
The song of the Sifs
Goes like this:
A people long ago
Where from no one knows
Maybe the faie do, maybe the faie do
Jinhai was the name of one of these forgotten foreigners
Saw the Lady of the River Tyne basking in the sun
Plucking the strings of his Ruan he sang to her
His words were unknown to her but his intentions were clear”
Here the other Sifs and Endellion join in:
“What a glorious beauty you are
Naked but for a coat of sunlight
And how glorious your quarter moon ears
My sight is both blind and full
With this visage of you”
Alone he sings again:
“My name is Jinhai, the foreigner sings tapping his chest
What is yours he sings pointing at her?
Ailsa, the Lady of the Tyne River sings back touching her chest
And they would be together
Giving life to both the Sif and Fif”
The others join in:
“Until the jealous giant Agnar arrived
And he too fell in love with Ailsa
Even though she had already given birth three times—”
