Kindred's poem finished

Messenger Raven··183 votes·61,699 views

Kindred has a V/O for a Joke in which Lamb says "The weft and weave of fate guides...um...uh....how did that poem go again?"

As a poet, I wanted to finish that poem. So I wrote this:

The weft and weave of fate guides the hunters to their prey From the bush the Lamb will wait, while Wolf begins to play. “Can you hear me?” says the Wolf, within his target's ear. Nothing satisfies his hunger quite like fresh cooked fear.

The Lamb appears so swiftly, “Dear Wolf, let her be." “I understand your hunger, but she belongs to me.” Lamb brought forth an arrow and raised it to her head. “Today your life no more shall be, welcome to the dead.”

The masks showed no pity as the arrow took its course, Simple and unchanging was death without remorse. Wolf looked at the Lamb with an unrepentant grin, Their souls are one, a Kindred; the hunt again begins.

-Saint

It would absolutely make my day if Riot actually saw this.

Nicely done! I really like this

Couple of tiny points to help out: always initial cap Lamb and Wolf.

target's ear, not targets.

"Today is your entrance fee" pings me as off, mostly due to its connection to currency, which I think is the wrong choice of word for Kindred.

Agreed that some of the last rhyme feels off.

Other than those things, **nice job! ** I can't underscore how happy it makes me to see you guys embracing the poetry angle for Kindred.

"Today is your entrance fee" sounds like something Steven Seagal would say before a DUN DUN DUNDUNDUN and cut to black.

Oooo this gave me shivers! Would have liked to see the metaphor started in the first line (weft and weave) expanded a bit more before being dropped, but otherwise--nice haunting tone!

Maybe: "And walking as one Kindred, the hunt again begin"?

SpartenA79913 votes

I'd say "and walking as one, Kindred began the hunt again." BUT GJ! rito noticed it :D

Maybe Wolf looked at the Lamb with an unrepentant grin; as he proposed another hunt, with his snow white kin

Can I discuss how much I'm freaking out right now at how awesome this is! Thank you for the feedback, I wrote this in like 5 minutes of excitement after I read some voiceovers lol. I haven't bought kindred yet so I actually haven't heard them so I'll definitely revise and edit and take suggestions thank you!

TacticalRice2 votes

I think you did a very nice job! I'm not gonna comment on the slight revising you might wanna do to make it have a better tone with Kindred but seriously though, nicely done. It appeals to Kindred very nicely when they say “I understand your hunger, but she belongs to me.” Good work, you should keep at it . Makes me wanna post some poetry as well. :D

Oh my god this is so good.

I saw farther down that you might be trying them for other champions?

If so, I would suggest Sion. He seems to have something like a poetical storyline in my opinion.

Messenger Raven1 votes

Sure thing, Sion will be in the works for me (hopefully it wont take me as long as it did Riot....please don't kill me riot)

Such an elegant poem for Kindred, it fits in beautifully with her lore. <3 I always love seeing champions with great stories behind them; having said stories applied in-game just makes League that much more special. Well typed.

EverTokki1 votes

what about something like, "let the hunt again begin" @ last line for a better rhyme?

The weft and weave of fate guides our people to their death, Though arrow pierce our ancient hearts, we fear not our final breath. Teeth and bite break bone for those who fear their cold embrace, So run we not from Lamb and Wolf, our lives they shall erase.
