Romans & histoires Rider Lullaby

I start to sing, feeling the familiar joy of song wrap me up as I slip into the first verse. A gypsy rover came over the hill Down through the valley so shady. He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang And he won the heart of a lady. Ah-dee-doo-ah-dee-doo-dah-day Ah-dee-doo-ah-dee-day-dee He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang And he won the heart of a lady. She left her father's castle gate. She left her own fine lover.

I sang him the cradle lullaby and he was asleep in no time and it didn’t take long before I did too. Lullaby and good night, With roses bedight. Creep into thy bed, There pillow thy head. If God will thou shalt wake, When the morning doth break. If God will thou shalt wake, When the morning doth break. Lullaby and good night, Those blue eyes close tight. Bright angels are near, So sleep without fear. They will guard thee from harm, With fair dreamland's sweet charm. They will guard thee from harm, With fair dreamland's sweet charm

“Will you sing the quiet song? The one about the moon?” I hummed the simple lullaby I had made up when she was a newborn in the hospital. My voice stayed soft in the dim room. She relaxed gradually, her breathing slowing into the steady rhythm of sleep. I watched her face, so peaceful, so innocent. She deserved stability. She deserved a life without sudden storms. Keeping Ryder in the dark protected that peace.

The ride on the horses was refreshing and filled with laughter until Layla began to feel sleepy. The cool island breeze and the long ride was enough to lull her and soon she was yawning. "Time to return",Riven said and moved his stallion towards Layla. Suddenly his head jerked up and his eyes flared gold for a split second. Moving with the speed of light, he pulled his stallion beside Layla's mare and his hand shot out just in time and grabbed the arrow that whistled through the air towards Layla.

(DOLL’S LULLABY) “LA, LA, LA, LA, LA, LA, LA.” She started to sing, humming her favorite lullaby that always marks with the tone of eeriness and dread. Somewhat fulfilling the ambiance of the quiet night under the shade of the bright full moon from outside the chamber of the Crown Princess. Winona stares at its beautiful glow as her mind wonders, pin along and over and over again to the words that made her wish for a thing.

The silvers and Ylys all begin crooning at her, but it’s Cyryl who croons the loudest, clicking happily and rubbing her face against Skylar. Bynjym leans his head down beside me. ‘Now, it’s time to introduce her to the other riders.’

The crickets' lullaby was but a faint whisper on the wind as it rustled through the verdant grasses, creating an ever-shifting sea of emerald. Lyra's green eyes fluttered open, and she found herself lying on a bed of soft, dew-kissed grass in this otherworldly landscape. For a moment, she simply gazed at the night sky above, her heart-shaped face lit with wonder at the sight of stars twinkling like diamonds against the vast, velvety expanse. But as her confusion settled in, she could feel the tendrils of unease slithering through her chest, tightening around her heart.
