A song for the daughters on reaping day in my main character's village

The Reaping Song

Verse 1:
When the moon is full and bright
And the shadows dance in the night
We hear the whispers in our ears
The Reaping is drawing near

Chorus:
They come to take the chosen ones
To train them as the council's sons
They make them kill without remorse
They make them serve the darkened force

Verse 2:
We never know who they will pick
We only hope they do it quick
We hug our daughters and we pray
The Reaping will spare them today

Chorus:
They come to take the chosen ones
To train them as the council's sons
They make them kill without remorse
They make them serve the darkened force

Verse 3:
We see the cloaks and hear the bells
We know they cast their wicked spells
We watch them drag the girls away
The Reaping has claimed them today

Chorus:
They come to take the chosen ones
To train them as the council's sons
They make them kill without remorse
They make them serve the darkened force

Outro:
The Reaping is over for now
But we know they will come back somehow
We live in fear and we obey
The Reaping will come again

Names you thought of for your MC but ended up not using and why?

Down below are the names that I had thought of for my MC Arwen  I used this name when I was in the plotting stages of my WIP, however when I first started outlining the name didn’t sound right for her anymore, so I ended up scrapping it and began the search for something else.  Marble  I didn’t want to use this one because it didn’t sound right for my main character, but I do plan on using it soon for another character’s name that will be appearing in a later book  Shimmer  This is another name that didn’t feel right as the main character’s name, but like Marble it will be used in a later book for another character  Gimmick  I ended up using this name in book 2 for a brand-new character that my MC meets along with an old familiar face from her past that is linked to this new character who happens to be a witch.  Zetta  I can’t pronounce my ‘Z’s’ very well and they come out sounding like ‘S’s’ so that’s why I ended up scrapping this ...
