World Breather
Or; Silvala
The maiden Silva, she strode through the forest
Steps quick as fire and light
She searched for the one she could call companion
Eyes shining, heart burning bright
The great wyrm Hilli stood proud as the moon
He called to the girl who would save him from doom
'Child, oh child, oh why are you here?
What do you seek as the night draws so near?'
'Danger comes soon, you must hurry'
The girl just smiled and drew close towards him
"Great friends you and I we will be together"
Song written about The Mother Silva and her dragon companion and how the world was created. It is not considered a holy song and is not sung as part of any ceremonies to The Mother, but it is well known and a staple of most travelling bards. It is not uncommon for the World Breather to be performed as a three part song, with a narrator, a Silvala, and a Hilli.
