Icovellavna
This is a story of two people. Faytholly, a girl whose life is fated to end in tragedy, and Aodhán, an outcast since birth. Whose fate’s upon a chance meeting become forever intertwined.
Prayer/“Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme."

“Oh stars, please listen to this prayer, this wish of mine.”

“I shall give all I am, my life, in return for this wish.”

“To be able to protect all those I love, now and forever more.”

“Oh stars I beg of you to grant this wish, this payer of mine.”

An oath, a promise I swore to keep.

With sword and shield to protect all.

To guard the weak and to fight till last breath.

To be by the side of the one I love,

Now and forever more.

With wings of light, I dance with sword in hand.

Upon a field of green scared red with fire and blood.

If I shall not return, please forgive me.

For not coming home, for not being by your side.

Fairy wings, dance in starlight.

Within a field of parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.

Beneath the Yew, intertwined are the Forget-me-nots.

As the stars shine within the evening light.

With sword in hand, I fight to protect all I have.

Upon these wings of light,

I will return home.

If these wings can no longer reach you,

If I shall not return.

I ask that you forgive me.

For not being able to keep my promise.

We swore an oath, a promise.

To be by each other’s side,

Now and forever more.

Till all ends and the stars no longer shine.

With that oath came euphoria,

A happiness like no other.

With each day, my love for you,

Became never ending.

Oh stars, please listen to this prayer, this wish of mine.

I shall give all I am, my life, in return for this wish.

To be able to protect all those I love now and forever more.

Oh stars I beg of you to grant this wish, this payer of mine.

“For the ones I love, for my dearest one.”

With wings of light, I dance with sword in hand.
“Fairy wings, dance in starlight.”
Upon a field of green scared red with fire and blood.

“Within a field of parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.”

If I shall not return, please forgive me.

“Beneath the Yew, intertwined are the Forget-me-nots.”

For not coming home, for not being by your side.

“As the stars shine within the evening light.”

An oath, a promise I swore to keep.

“We swore an oath, a promise.”

With sword and shield to protect all.

“To be by each other’s side,”

To guard the weak and to fight till last breath.

“Now and forever more.”

To be by the side of the one I love,

“Till all ends and the stars no longer shine.”

Now and forever more.

“With that oath came euphoria,”

“A happiness like no other.”

“With each day, my love for you,”

“Became never ending.”

“Even in death I will always love you.”

“Oh stars, please listen to this prayer, this wish of mine.”

“If my wings can no longer return me home.”

“If I lose my way.”

“Please bring me home.”

“And if my time comes to an end.”

“Please watch over my love.”

Chapter One: Fate’s Design
“Never ending is life’s story.”
“Every chapter a beginning and end.”
“By fate’s design, the stars forever weave a story.”
“As they watch the world below.”
“As they record life’s story, forever more.”

How long have I wandered alone?
Through endless fields of green,
Over mountains of white,
From forest old, to oceans of blue.
I continue to search,
For what I have long forgotten.
Yet still the wind calls me,
To follow the star’s guiding light.
To follow my heart’s wish.
And let go the past that binds me to sorrow.
Wandering, searching,
For what reason, I have forgotten.
Yet words of the past,
Keep repeating within my mind.
As a reminder, a guide,
To leave the past behind.
How long have I wandered alone?
Through endless fields of green,
Over mountains of white,
From forest old, to oceans of blue.
I continue to search,
For what I lost.
Yet still the wind calls me,
To follow the star’s guiding light.
To follow my heart’s wish.
I take sword in hand,
As the monsters of life’s end draw near.
Quick is the blade of silver,
Bathed in flame that burns away the past,
To give life to the future.
How long have I wandered alone?
When did this journey start?
Will it now end?
Fallen are the monsters,
That haunted me.
Yet so to I will be.
A voice calls me,
From the abyss of sleep
From death’s grip.
How long have I wandered alone?
Through endless fields of green,
Over mountains of white,
From forest old, to oceans of blue.
I continue to search,
For what I have long forgotten.
For what I once lost.
Yet have I now found,
My heart’s wish?
Will I no longer be alone?

Chapter Two: Your Distant Voice
“By fate’s design, the stars forever weave a story.”
“As they watch the world below.”
“I wish to ask if you are real,”
“That distant voice within my dreams.”
“A song that lights a gentle flame,”
“That gives me hope.
“A reason to search,”
“A reason to find you.”

In this land I call home,
I have not belonged.
Yet here I stay,
For by chance one night I had a dream,
And heard a voice.
So distant yet close.
Echoing within a song,
A lullaby, a wish.
Ringing so clear and pure,
Within my mind,
Within my heart.
It sparks a flame of hope,
A want to search.
For the song’s source,
It’s voice.
In this land I call home,
I now wander.
Seeking, searching,
Yet still not belonging,
Still not wanted.
But still the song beckons me to search,
To wander this vast land.
Through endless fields of green,
Over mountains of white,
From forest old, to oceans of blue.
I shall continue to search,
For the song’s source,
It’s voice.
Echoing within a song,
A lullaby, a wish.
Ringing so clear and pure,
Within my mind,
Within my heart.
Giving strength to the flame,
The hope I hold onto.
As the stars watch above,
And watch my story be told.
As it helps guides me through this land,
This land I wander,
Seeking, searching.
Till by chance one night I heard a voice,
So distant yet close.
So clear, so pure,
It felt like a dream.
Quick was the blade of silver,
Bathed in flames that burned away the monsters.
The creatures that clawed at the source,
My reason for coming so far.
There you were,
The voice that echoed within a song,
A lullaby, a wish.
That sparked a flame of hope,
A want to search.
For a place I would belong,
For you.
“By fate’s design, the stars forever weave a story.”
“As they watch the world below.”
“I once wished to ask if you were real,”
“That distant voice within my dreams.”
“A song that lit a gentle flame,”
“That gave me hope.”
“A reason to find you.”
“And now here we are,”
“Two fates, two lives,”
“Brought together and intertwined.”
“Now and forever more.”

Chapter Three: Never-ending/I Remember, I Recall
“From a star’s death comes life,”
“From its remains a world shall be born.”
“Time shall give its start,”
“While space a place in the vast sky.”
“Let earth be the foundation,”
“Water the giver and thief.”
“While fire brings destruction and rebirth,”
“As wind brings freedom and chance.”
“Light shall be the sun and guide the day,”
“Darkness the moon that heralds the unknown.”
“The spirits watch and reminiscence,”
“As the dragons guard life’s fragility.”
“Forever more…”

I remember, I recall,
In this sleep the past.
The words once nearly forgotten,
Until a name of flowers reminded me.
To not forget,

To always remember.



I remember, I recall,
Next to your sleeping form.
The words I nearly forgot,
Until I heard a voice that reminded me.
To not forget,
To always remember.


That your wish,
Your hope and prayer,
May come true.


To let go and live,
To find belonging,
To not be alone,
To have a place to call home.


I wandered because…
I searched because…
Of a hope, a wish.
Of a hope, a dream.
Which brought me to you.

When will you awake?
When will I awake?
For I want to speak,
I want to know you.


I remember, I recall,
Those words from the past,
A story that tells-


My fate, your fate-
My fate, your fate-
Are intertwined.

When did I-
How did I-
How did you-
When did you-
Know?
But were we always?


I remember, I recall,
From a dream, next to you.
The words we nearly forgot,

Until a name of flowers reminded me.
Until I heard a voice that reminded me.
To not forget,
That we will always be-


“From a star’s death comes life,”
“From its remains a world shall be born.”
“Time shall give its start,”
“While space a place in the vast sky.”
“Let earth be the foundation,”
“Water the giver and thief.”
“While fire brings destruction and rebirth,”
“As wind brings freedom and chance.”
“Light shall be the sun and guide the day,”
“Darkness the moon that heralds the unknown.”
“The spirits watch and reminiscence,”
“As the dragons guard life’s fragility.”
“Forever more the cycle continues,”
“Intertwining fates.”
“As the stars watch and weave a story,”
“A story never-ending;”

Chapter Four: Spell of Intertwining
“Tie me a knot of string, made with Holly and Ivy.”
“Give a gift of golden Wheat, with Basil and Thorn Apple.”
“The words of Freesia, the meaning of Edelweiss.”
“So silent, so quiet, so speak softly before them.”
“Before the lonely Yew, holding Cedar and Birch.”
“Wish well the spirits of Hawthorn.”
“Before you tie me a knot of string.”
“Made of Holly and Ivy, with Forget-me-nots.”
“For a spell, a wish to be forever intertwined.”

Tell me a story of ages past,
Speak to me a spell of Hawthorn and protection.
Sing to me, the voices of the forest.
The silent words of flowers,
Of the hidden spirits that walk among us.
In a field of golden Wheat,
Run, run, become the wind.
In the deep forests,
Sleep, sleep, become the earth.
A bed of Holly waits for you,
Beneath the Mistletoe.
Fire burns, fire takes,
Fire renews.
From the grey comes the green,
A new beginning.
So lonely I was,
Until you came.
From loneliness,
I learned to keep hold,
Of the fleeting moments,
That will someday be no more.
Avoid the Nightshade and Nettles,
The black Mulberry and Mandrake.
Follow the Great Maple, the Ivy,
The gentle Edelweiss and the Bitter Root.
In a field of golden Wheat,
Run, run, become the wind.
In the deep forests,
Sleep, sleep, become the earth.
A bed of Holly waits for you,
Beneath the Mistletoe.
Water flows and gives,
Its rage destroys,
Its calm gives life.
So cold is the white snow,
So tall the mountains are,
So close to the clouds above,
Yet so far.
Tell me a story of ages past,
Speak to me a spell of Hawthorn and protection.
Sing to me, the voices of the forest.
The silent words of flowers,
Of the hidden spirits that walk among us.
Don’t leave me,
Don’t go.
Let us be together forever,
Within the forgotten lands,
Among spirits of the past,
Intertwined together.
So lonely I was,
Until you came.
From loneliness,
I learned to keep hold,
Of the fleeting moments,
That will someday be no more.
Let us cast a spell,
To keep hold a while longer,
The time we have together.
So, tie me a knot of string, made with Holly and Ivy.
Give a gift of golden Wheat, with Basil and Thorn Apple.
The words of Freesia, the meaning of Edelweiss.
So silent, so quiet, so speak softly before them.
Before the lonely Yew, holding Cedar and Birch.
Wish well the spirits of Hawthorn.
Before you tie me a knot of string.
Made of Holly and Ivy, with Forget-me-nots.
For a spell, a wish to be forever intertwined.
Always, for eternity,
Even when apart.
Tell me a story of ages past,
Speak to me a spell of Hawthorn and protection.
Sing to me, the voices of the forest.
The silent words of flowers,
Of the hidden spirits that walk among us.
In a field of golden Wheat,
Run, run, become the wind.
In the deep forests,
Sleep, sleep, become the earth.
A bed of Holly waits for you,
Beneath the Mistletoe.
The wind blows,
So free, so gentle, so fierce.
The seeds scatter and spread,
Voices are caught in the wind.
Avoid the Nightshade and Nettles,
The black Mulberry and Mandrake.
Follow the Great Maple, the Ivy,
The gentle Edelweiss and the Bitter Root.
Don’t leave me,
Don’t go.
Let us be together forever,
Within the forgotten lands,
Among spirits of the past,
Intertwined together.
Tie me a knot of string, made with Holly and Ivy.
Give a gift of golden Wheat, with Basil and Thorn Apple.
The words of Freesia, the meaning of Edelweiss.
So silent, so quiet, so speak softly before them.
Before the lonely Yew, holding Cedar and Birch.
Wish well the spirits of Hawthorn.
Before you tie me a knot of string.
Made of Holly and Ivy, with Forget-me-nots.
For a spell, a wish to be forever intertwined.
Always, for eternity,
Even when apart.
Even as the world falls apart,
Even if all shall fade,
Tie me a knot of string,
For a spell to be forever intertwined.
To always be two that is one,
Hold me, hold me,
Don’t let go.
Don’t forget,
Don’t let go,
Tell me a story,
Tell me you love me;
