## Story

**SPOILER WARNING:** Plot and/or ending details follow.
One day, Gunther comes across an adventurer and begins enthusiastically talking about how he learned the song Mr. Kim, A Rich Man from a friend of his. He then does a double-take and asks the adventurer if they wish to hear him sing or tell a story. It turns out the adventurer was sent by Minty Eland asking for the lyrics to "At One, I Fall in Love." Gunther cheerfully responds that he knows Eland and and writes the lyrics to the song on the adventurer's back. With that, the adventurer leaves to meet up with Eland.

The adventurer returns later to relay to Gunther that the lyrics weren't as Eland remembered. He then tells the adventurer that the song was changed by a fellow Bard name Kino Kitty. After that, the adventurer leaves, allowing Gunther to go back to what he was doing previously.

## Song Lyrics

Gunther Doubleharmony sings 3 songs: a song about Yggdrasil, "Mr. Kim, A Rich Man", and a song from Luke the Bard.

### unnamed song about Yggdrasil

Evergreen Yggdrasil~

Giant ashen tree reaching for the sky

Crystal, morning dew from its leaves

form Urdr's pond

Three wise girls seated beneath its boughs

Urdr of the past, Verdandi of the present,

Skuld of the future

Spinning, weaving threads of destiny

Evergreen Yggdrasil~

Giant ashen tree reaching for the sky

Its roots soaked with tears

Death in Hvergelmir

An evil dragon burning its roots

with eternal flame

The evil dragon Nidhoggr

Living between Yggdrasil and Niflheim

Evergreen Yggdrasil~

Giant ashen tree reaching for the sky

Wisdom in its roots

roots reaching Mimir's pond

Guarded by a wise giant

Odin sacrificed one of his eyes for the wisdom

Heimdallr's horn hidden in Yggdrasil's roots

Will sound one last time signaling Ragnarok

### Mr. Kim, A Rich Man

(Very old story about rich Mr. Kim and his rise from rags to riches to rags to riches.)

Merchant of Payon so poooooooor~

No money for armor, no money to make

Sold the Cotton Shirt off his back

No pity he'll take

First he only sold Red Potions

Then he moved up to Carrots

whoohoo~

He could afford new armor

and even wear it

whoohoo~

But one day he was scammed, scammed by a wicked guild

made poor once again

He decided to go to Ant Hell

right there and right then

Bats, Dwarves, Eggs, Ants!

He battled them all~

Worm Peelings, Jellopy!

He gathered loot great and small

Then the glorious day came

when he found a valuable card

That'd bring great wealth to his

naaaame~

But he kept it dear to him

to remember his times of working so hard

He never sold it, never sold

his precious card~

### a song from Luke the Bard

I found it in a drawer

Old, worn letters

Forming elaborate words

Sincere reflection of a sincere mind

I found it in a drawer

Was I really like that once?

Was I really that childish?

My memories are tarnished

I found it in a drawer

Love I had forgotten

She never got this letter

But both of us were too shy

I found it in a drawer

Love I had forgotten

I never gave her this letter

But both of us were too proud

## Trivia

* Gunther's song about Yggdrasil delves heavily into Norse mythos.
