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

Crafting Unique Nicknames in Your Fantasy World

Nicknames are a great way to add depth and personality to your characters and show their relationships and culture.
