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. Dee
I have reposted this not as just the Summary. More comments welcomed.
A Puzzle

Version 1
A desert owl soars in flight
A shadow crossed moon doth show
Lonely deaths at nameless 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
