A puzzle
by Diane C. Hundertmark
copyright 2002
Version 1
A desert owl soars in flight
A shadow crossed moon doth show
Lonely deaths at namless hands
Bodies blown to dust so dry
Shadows cast by the light
Water is there to feed the soul
A solitary tree deep in sands
Neath the stars in a southern sky
Shows the way in the night
Gives the life truth be told
Cradles treasures in magic bands
Sweet Elven scion there doth hide
Version 2
A desert owl soars in flight
Shadows cast by the light
Shows the way in the night
A shadow crossed moon doth show
Water is there to feed the soul
Gives the life truth be told
Lonely deaths at nameless hands
A solitary tree deep in sands
Cradles treasures in magic bands
Bodies blown to dust so dry
Neath the stars in a southern sky
Sweet Elven scion there doth hide

This was written as a puzzle for a role playing game. It was orginally planned to be lines written on scraps of parchment that were to be found and pieced together to give clues for a quest. Here are two ways these 12 lines could fit together.

Hope the bastard finds his/her Dad
Difficult to comment out of context, but rouses interest even alone. |
